New Relic CloudWatch Logs ingestion

AWS Serverless application that sends log data from CloudWatch Logs to New Relic.

Requirements

To forward data to New Relic you need a New Relic License Key.

Install and configure

To install and configure the New Relic Cloudwatch Logs Lambda, see our documentation.

Additional notes:

• Some users in UTF-8 environments have reported difficulty with defining strings of NR_TAGS delimited by the semicolon ; character. If this applies to you, you can set an alternative delimiter character as the value of NR_ENV_DELIMITER, and separate your NR_TAGS with that.
