The official source is: https://www.loggly.com/blog/sending-aws-cloudwatch-logs-to-loggly-with-aws-lambda/ But there is a use case I found to be pretty common in the real world that is not well documented either by Amazon or by Loggly or even the general community: often times, we decide to visualize our AWS logs using an external tool such as Loggly once we have a lot of applications already in place, or even applications generating logs to multiple log groups. Configuring a Lambda function to publish the log entries in real time to Loggly is relatively simple, but this becomes complex, or at least a long and error-prone task, when you have to configure many log groups to be connected with Loggly.

A comeback

After many years, I am coming back to my technology blog, to share some knowledge with the community. Today I found something not well documented on the web, so I will post an article about it: provisioning resources to massively integrate AWS CloudWatch Logs and Loggly leveraging AWS CloudFormation. The article will be published later today. And, yes, I am resuming my blog in English, to make my opinions and knowledge available to a broader audience.
