@Marvin Is there any examples of how one could configure prefect to log to AWS cloudwatch in addition to the prefect API?

To configure Prefect to log to AWS CloudWatch in addition to Prefect API, you can modify the logging configuration to include both destinations. Since Prefect's logging configuration is primarily managed through environment variables, you'll need to set up a custom logging configuration. 1. Prefect Environment Configuration: You can override the Prefect logging configuration by setting environment variables or Prefect Profile settings. The environment variable format is
PREFECT_LOGGING_[PATH]_[TO]_[KEY]
, allowing you to customize logging paths and levels. For example, setting
PREFECT_LOGGING_LEVEL="DEBUG"
changes the default logging to DEBUG level. 2. AWS CloudWatch Setup: To integrate with AWS CloudWatch, you can use a custom Python logging handler that pushes logs to CloudWatch. You'll need to install the AWS SDK for Python (Boto3) and set up a CloudWatch log handler. Here's a basic example: - Install Boto3:
Copy code
shell
     pip install boto3
- Create a CloudWatch log handler:
Copy code
python
     import logging
     from watchtower import CloudWatchLogHandler

     # Define the CloudWatch log handler
     cloudwatch_handler = CloudWatchLogHandler(log_group="your-log-group-name")
     cloudwatch_handler.setLevel(<http://logging.INFO|logging.INFO>)
3. Combine Handlers: You can now set up a logger that logs to both the Prefect API and CloudWatch:
Copy code
python
   logger = logging.getLogger('prefect')
   logger.setLevel(<http://logging.INFO|logging.INFO>)

   # Add the CloudWatch handler
   logger.addHandler(cloudwatch_handler)

   # Prefect logger already configured, or configure another handler as required
By setting up the above configuration in your application or flow, logs will be sent to both endpoints. References: - Prefect 2.x Logging Documentation: https://docs-2.prefect.io/latest/guides/logs/ - Prefect 3.x Logging Documentation: https://docs-3.prefect.io/3.0/develop/logging You'll need to ensure that your AWS credentials and permissions for CloudWatch are appropriately configured for the environment you are running the Prefect flows in.
