getting log from cloudwatch of aws

[tyyi]

Dear, All

For a long time, I have been worrying about this question.
I think it is not an usual, actually very unusual case.

---------------------------------

I hope to save a log data to my desktop from CloudWatch of AWS in real time

To get it, the site needs to login.
I did try to login using COM & IE but I couldn't.

Code: Select all

	
	wb.document.getElementById("account").value := "1234567890"
	wb.document.getElementById("username").value := "myname"
	wb.document.getElementById("password").value := "mypassword"
	Sleep, 2000
	wb.document.getElementById("signin_button").click()

Most cases in different sites, I can login with above code, but AWS didn't allow.
I didn't know why.

Do you have any idea to save the log data from cloudwatch every 5 minutes?

----------------------

Closing a login browser, the run it, the login status was still available,
so I tried to get the data using UrlDownloadToFile or WinHttp, but it was not working.

Code: Select all

whr := ComObjCreate("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1")
whr.Open("GET", "https://ap-northeast-2.console.aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/home?region=ap-northeast-2#logEventViewer:group=/var/log/company/www/access.log;stream=www;filter=goole.com;start=PT1H", true)
whr.Send()
whr.WaitForResponse()
result := whr.ResponseText
MsgBox % result
FileAppend, %result%, result.html

I know it is very idiot question, but just hope to hear your voices.

Thank you as always.

I bet they have an API interface for this - that would certainly be the right way to go... if available.
Let's see... https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloud ... lcome.html

Thank you, gregster for your answer.
Before asking a question, I just visit the API page you also shared.
I'm not a developer, I'm still beginner even I knew AHK 3 years ago.
So using API, I didn't consider.

Is it possible to use API on AHK?

Thank you again!

Yeah, it should be possible, but it might not be beginner stuff. The Http-Post request itself seems manageable (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloud ... uests.html), but one would have to investigate what this "Signature Version 4 Signing Process" is and how it works.

I agree, your approach is probably easier, if it works... but without having access to the site itself and its html source code, I am not sure what to recommend. Perhaps someone from the forum has some idea and/or access and can quickly help you.

Thank you for your kindness.
I really appreciate your reply, also I will see docs you suggested.

Thank you!!!

I'm still waiting for teaching or ideas from others.

My final goal is that getting a log data from CloudWatch in real time, actually every 5 mins, then analyzing log data to show it on my desktop thru MsgBox to know visitors who are from search engine with which keywords.
