Dynamic stream names

[Alexander Barton]

Hello,
it is possible to create dynamic stream names with the current version?

I have for example this config here:

    cloudwatch_handler:
        class: Maxbanton\Cwh\Handler\CloudWatch
        arguments:
            - "@cloudwatch_client"
            - "/cw/path/for/logs-%env%-%version%/var/log/prod.log" # groupName
            - "%kernel.environment%" # streamName
            - 7                      # retentionDays
            - 10000                  # logsInBatch
            - []                     # tags
            - INFO                   # logLevel

The stream name is always "prod" in my case, because it's defined like this: "%kernel.environment%". But as far as I know, it's much better to split the stream names in Cloudwatch by time or another identifier.

I'm thinking about something like this here "%kernel.environment%-@CURRENT_DATE@", which should resolve to "prod-2020-10-07".

What do you think about it?

Hi @AlexBa. You can pass whatever you want to the variable streamName, it's a good idea to add current date to it, but it depends on what environment it runs, if it's daemon worker which can be alive for a long time, then it will not update stream name till next start.

Regards.
