Dear Pete, that was my feeling too—I suspect that for someone more skilled than

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.

hrm yea - so i did a bit of reading through that setup script and if i'm not mistaken it is actually installing the python package:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/awscli-cwlogs

a majority of the code located at https://s3.amazonaws.com//aws-cloudwatch/downloads/latest/awslogs-agent-setup.py seems to configure the behaviour of awscli-cwlogs.

i may poke at this later this week and see if i can get awscli-cwlogs working in my environment, if it looks good it may be a good starting point for a freebsd port of this functionality. also since it seems to be mostly python  code doing the actual log-shipping we might be in good shape.
