Console Cloud Watch

Send your browser errors and console message to AWS CLoudWatch

Setup

• Login to AWS console
• Open CloudWatch
• Create a Log Group (Set up a retention period to save space)
• Open IAM
• Create a new user with secret and access key
• Assign the user a new policy wich will be able to write logs and create log streams (set your region and log group name):

{
   "Version": "2012-10-17",
   "Statement": [
       {
           "Sid": "VisualEditor0",
           "Effect": "Allow",
           "Action": [
               "logs:CreateLogStream",
               "logs:PutLogEvents"
           ],
           "Resource": [
               "arn:aws:logs:AWS_REGION:*:log-group:LOG_GROUP:*:*",
               "arn:aws:logs:AWS_REGION:*:log-group:LOG_GROUP"
           ]
       }
   ]
}

• beware that the credentials will be exposed in the browser so don't assign other permissions to this user.

Get Console Cloud Watch

npm:

npm install console-cloud-watch

CDN:

<script src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/console-cloud-watch-all.min.js"></script>

dist/console-cloud-watch-all.min.js contains all the dependencies (and a custom build of AWS SDK with only the CloudWatch service), if you already include AWS SDK you may use dist/dist/console-cloud-watch.min.js directly, note that you have also to include fingerprintjs2 and stacktrace-js

Usage

Include console-cloud-watch.js in your page, configure your parameters and you are done. Make sure that AWS, StackTrace, and optionally Fingerprint2 have been required as well:

    # ES6
    import ConsoleCloudWatch from 'console-cloud-watch';
    # ES5
    var ConsoleCloudWatch = require('console-cloud-watch');
    

    ConsoleCloudWatch(AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_REGION, LOG_GROUP);

You may also pass 3 optional configuration parameters:

• levels (default: ['error']): an array of strings with the console levels to intercept
• timeout (default: 10000): milliseconds between calls to CloudWatch
• mute (default: false): if set to true, intercepted message will not be shown in console

Example:

    ConsoleCloudWatch(AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_REGION, LOG_GROUP,['warn','error'],30000,true);
