rds-log 1.0.0

A utility to download AWS RDS logs

A small utility to download/stream logs from Amazon AWS RDS to a local directory. When started, all log files will be downloaded, and the latest file will be watched for changes.

Installation

Make sure you already have installed

• Amazon RDS Command Line Toolkit

• Python 3.4 (Python 2 is not supported)

Install from PyPI:

pip install rds-log

Usage

rds-log-streamer will find AWS credentials in ~/.aws/credentials (just like boto).

Set up ~/.aws/credentials with AWS authentication details:

[default]
aws_access_key_id = <your access key id>
aws_secret_access_key = <your secret key>

Set up ~/.aws/config to point to your region:

[default]
region = eu-central-1

Run rds-log-stream with your database identifier and directory to store logs:

rds-log-stream yourdbinstance /your/log/destination

/your/log/destination will be populated with all current RDS logs and continously updated with new messages as they arrive.
