AWS CloudWatch Logs Agent

[Rafal Lukawiecki]

Dear Pete, that was my feeling too—I suspect that for someone more skilled than me in FreeBSD rc.d it should be realistically possible to port it, but the spaghetti nature of the awslogs script would also be something to contend with. I did a bit of searching, but the only reference to awslogs that I found on GH is this one:

	https://github.com/jorgebastida/awslogs

While this looks like a good utility for CloudWatch Logs querying, it does not seem to deal with the agent and actual log collection. The AWS GitHub account does not seem to list anything related amongst their 70+ repositories...

If you embark on such a port, I would be happy to test, help, and give feedback. On the other hand, please let me know if you find anything else that could be of use. Many thanks.
