README

This program's purpose is to forward all logs received from a unix/ip socket and forward them to cloudwatch logs.

Motivation:

• Learn go
• Small memory footprint
• No file readers
• Socket listeners

Usage:

-c string
	Config file location. (default "/etc/logs_agent.cfg")

See config.ini for possible configuration options.

Program behaviour:

• Logs that are too old are discarded.
• Logs that exceed their allowed size are discarded.
• Incoming message timestamps are only used to set cloudwatch logs timestamp value. They are not written in message body.
