Aiven now integrates with AWS CloudWatch and Google Cloud Logging

For those of you running your logs and metrics infrastructure in AWS CloudWatch or Google Cloud Logging, life just got a little easier — you can now include your Aiven service logs with a simple integration. Once enabled, you’ll not only have a more consolidated overview of your logs but be able to manage your Aiven logs more efficiently, whether searching them or performing other actions such as setting alerts. How simple is it to set up this integration? A few minutes is all it takes. Let’s dive into the details. ## How to enable service log integrations in the Aiven Console In this post, we’ll cover the integration setup process in Aiven’s Web Console. For instructions on setting up the integrations using the Aiven Client, check out our [AWS CloudWatch](https://aiven.io/docs/integrations/cloudwatch) help articles. ### AWS CloudWatch First, you need to add an *AWS CloudWatch Logs* integration endpoint to your Aiven project. You can do this by navigating to the *Service Integrations* section of your project. You will need to input your access rights credentials to create the endpoint. ![aws cloudwatch logs access rights fixed](//cdn.sanity.io/images/sczeoy4w/production/3bdb20dd26e0a13526b8fc08be947ec5e836cbce-1964x256.png) Once the endpoint is created, you can enable the integration by navigating to your service and selecting *Manage Integrations*. Select *AWS CloudWatch Logs* from the list of integrations. ![Select cloudwatch integration](//cdn.sanity.io/images/sczeoy4w/production/01811e18b541a1dd4f4c446cd4751fa9dff412a6-1598x802.png) Choose the endpoint you created earlier. ![choose aws cloudwatch integration endpoint](//cdn.sanity.io/images/sczeoy4w/production/63be3346d8231fd4209e78e42a398408b2485d54-1600x360.png) Attaching the service to an endpoint will enable service logs to be sent into AWS CloudWatch. Aiven will automatically create log streams for you in AWS CloudWatch to the log group you created in the integration endpoint configuration. ### Google Cloud Logging As with AWS CloudWatch, the first step is to add a Google Cloud Logging integration endpoint to your Aiven project by navigating to *Service Integrations*. Configure the __GCP Project ID__ and the __Log ID__ used for the logs you send to Google Cloud Logging. ![google cloud logging access rights fixed](//cdn.sanity.io/images/sczeoy4w/production/49769190435e8c47a2af3fc21dce3460dbecc961-1766x356.png) Once the endpoint is created, you can enable the integration by navigating to the service you want to send logs from and clicking *Manage Integrations*. Select *Google Cloud Logging* from the list of integrations. ![select cloud logging from list of integrations](//cdn.sanity.io/images/sczeoy4w/production/71c0f3af36d4e7295681c4c77c5017831ec566d2-1584x568.png) Choose the endpoint you created earlier. ![choose cloud logging endpoint](//images.ctfassets.net/q3u27v6lpki8/6CkDaEaGUf4R1OoZlRcxyi/30e7cbf00bb95e31f9ba65f666f62dd1/choose_cloud_logging_endpoint.png) And that’s it! Your Aiven service logs will be sent to Google Cloud Logging once you attach your service to the endpoint and you’ll be able to view the logs in your Google Cloud Platform console! ## Wrapping up These two integrations allow you to more seamlessly incorporate your Aiven services into your AWS and GCP deployments.
