Drop this in your application's .env file with your correct AWS credentials.

That's it!

Extra Configurations

• You can configure your cloudwatch log group name and stream name in your .env file. If not set, the value of your APP_NAME will be used as the log group name and the value of your APP_NAME and APP_ENV will be used as your log stream name.

AWS_CLOUD_WATCH_GROUP_NAME=project-name
AWS_CLOUD_WATCH_STREAM_NAME=project-name-env

• Set log level eg. INFO,CRITICAL,DEBUG,API etc.

AWS_CLOUD_WATCH_LEVEL=INFO

• Set log retention period cloudwatch in days. The default is 14 days.

AWS_CLOUD_WATCH_RETENTION_DAYS=14

• By default all request params will be logged except passwords and password confirmations. To change this, set LOG_REQUEST_PARAMS to false in the .env file.

LOG_REQUEST_PARAMS=false

• You can ignore any request parameter by adding a LOG_REQUESTS_EXCEPT entry to your .env file. The value should contain a comma separated string of fields to exclude from your logs.

LOG_REQUESTS_EXCEPT="password, password_confirmation, image"
