Cloudwatch Logs

Cloudwatch Console

Logs are collected by the fluentd daemonset running in the EKS nodes and also by Fluentbit daemonset that collect logs from Fargate and send them to Cloudwatch.

The following CloudWatch log groups are created by default when Container Insights is setup:

  • /aws/containerinsights/cluster-name/application
  • /aws/containerinsights/cluster-name/dataplane
  • /aws/containerinsights/cluster-name/hostNodegroup Container Logs
  • /aws/containerinsights/cluster-name/performance
  • /aws/eks/eksworkshop-eksctl/cluster
  • fluent-bit-cloudwatch
