How to log errors into S3 bucket

Phoenix Forum Questions / Help

Hi,

I would like to setup logger that will log errors into specific S3 bucket. Obviously I’m gonna use [ExAws](https://github.com/CargoSense/ex_aws) to do so, but I’m wonder how would you do same thing.

I started looking at logger_file_backend, but it allows log into static file on the instance, not into S3 bucket. I’m thinking about running external process - agent, genserver - whatever, to send my file into S3 bucket for fixed period of time eg. each 10 minutes.

Do you think is there any better idea to do so?
Also- what in case when instance is down?

I would not recommend doing this from within your application itself. You’d be much better off running your application as a System.d service, and then just using one of the million options for pushing system.d logs to AWS cloudwatch logs.
