I followed your video because my bootcamp video for this portion of my learning was out of date. this video really helped me get connected to cloudwatch! However none of my access and error log streams show a timestamp. I don't know if this is something I should be concerned with or not.. haha The Apache2 Ubuntu DNS default page showed up fine which means it is connected and I was able to find my EC2 log group.

All are done but i cant see any link g group in my cloudwatch why? Followed all steps correctly

[@webdevcloud1]

You can check the logs for the info residing in /var/log/amazon/amazon-cloudwatch-agent directory, mostly in file amazon-cloudwatch-agent.log...

[@komalmagar9455]

I followed all the steps but at the end log group is not created, what's your suggestion? Thanks in advance.

[@webdevcloud1]

You can check if the role that is attached to the instance has permission of cloudwatch logs...

@@webdevcloud1 if we add extra permissions to test this would we need to configure it all over again to create the log groups?

Hi, while I enter the cmd "sudo dpkg -i -E ./amazon-cloudwatch-agent.deb",
it shows error "dpkg: error processing archive ./amazon-cloudwatch-agent.deb (--install):
package architecture (arm64) does not match system (amd64)
Errors were encountered while processing:
./amazon-cloudwatch-agent.deb"
How could I resolve it ? Thank you. btw I'm using M1... 😞

[@webdevcloud1]

Try to add amd64 architecture by command and try again
dpkg --add-architecture amd64
