On the other hand, please let me know if you find anything else that could be of use. Many thanks. hrm yea - so i did a bit of reading through that setup script and if i'm not mistaken it is actually installing the python package: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/awscli-cwlogs a majority of the code located at https://s3.amazonaws.com//aws-cloudwatch/downloads/latest/awslogs-agent-setup.py seems to configure the behaviour of awscli-cwlogs. i may poke at this later this week and see if i can get awscli-cwlogs working in my environment, if it looks good it may be a good starting point for a freebsd port of this functionality. also since it seems to be mostly python code doing the actual log-shipping we might be in good shape. -p -- Pete Wright pete@nomadlogic.org @nomadlogicLA
