A command line tool to tail Amazon CloudWatch logs
First, install the package using npm:
npm install -g cloudtail
Then, execute on the command line, specifying your region and log group:
cloudtail --awsRegion ap-southeast-2 /your/log/group/here
The functionality is similar to the Unix tail -f command. Initially the latest -n lines of log data will be sourced from the log group, after which the live log entries will appear as they are written.
Within your log log group, all log streams' data will be aggreated into a single unified output to the cosole. You can isolate a single log stream using the --logStreamName argument.
