Possible to send logs by Node

[Mark]

Hi,

Quick question - is it possible to send logs by node and/or instead of topic?

Thanks

Mark

Hi Mark @CycleMark ,

For the current implementation, the cloudwatch_logger node subscribes to the rosout_agg topic to get logs. As long as all the logs you'd like to send to AWS CloudWatch Logs get published to the rosout topic (which the rosout_agg topic subscribes to), it doesn't matter how you send logs.

Please let me know if this makes sense.

Thanks,
Abby

Hi Abby,

Thanks - yep I have is working that way then filtering on the CloudWatch side. Just looking at pre-filtering options.

Cheers

Hey Mark @CycleMark ,

If you would like to filter out logs by node name, checkout line 47 in this source file. You can expand that line to filter out logs by node.

We plan to implement the feature you described in the future, for now, I hope this will be one of your options for pre-filtering out logs.

Thanks!

@xabxx - many thanks - worked a treat. Much less noise in the logs
