Configuration

$3

This package uses the AWS SDK to write the logs to CloudWatch. You must
set the AWS Credentials via one of the first three methods described
here.

$3

The log group must exist in CloudWatch.

1. Sign into the AWS console
2. Click on CloudWatch found under Services > Management
3. Click on Logs
4. Select Actions > Create log group

$3

You may use an existing log stream. However if the stream is not found,
it will be created for you. The package assumes it is the only source
writing to the stream. **Errors will occur if other sources write to the
same stream.**

$3

These options are passed directly to the
AWS SDK
