AWS Log Group: Quickly search and open log groups

Hey @johnlindquist

I created a quick script that allows me to search and open up log groups quickly.

I spent a fair amount of time doing this, so thought I would help myself out.

If anyone else is interested script is here:

// Menu: AWS Log Group
// Description: Quickly find and open your log groups
// Author: David Boyne
// Twitter: @boyney123

const AWS = await npm('aws-sdk');
const { format } = await npm('date-fns');

const region = await env('AWS_REGION');

AWS.config.update({ region: region });

var cloudwatchlogs = new AWS.CloudWatchLogs();

cloudwatchlogs.describeLogGroups({ logGroupNamePrefix: '/aws/' }, async function (err, data) {
  if (err) inspect(err);
  // an error occurred
  else {

    // await inspect(data); // successful response
    const groups = data.logGroups.map(({ logGroupName, creationTime, retentionInDays }) => ({
      name: logGroupName,
      value: logGroupName,
      html: `<div> 
            <div style="font-size:10px; padding:0; margin:0;">
            Created ${format(new Date(creationTime), 'yyyy-MM-dd')} | Retention ${retentionInDays} days
            </div>
            <div style="font-size:14px; font-weight:bold;">${logGroupName}</div>
        </div>`,
    }));
    const logGroup = await arg('Search for a log group:', groups);

    const url = `https://${region}.console.aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/home?region=${region}#logsV2:log-groups/log-group/${encodeURIComponent(logGroup)}`;

    exec(`open ${url}`);
  }
});

To get working and still left to do

• Make sure your AWS access keys and tokens are in the .env file.
• Use the API to loop over the log groups it only returns 50 at the moment, but easy enough to do if thats a problem for anyone.
