One common issue that arises is not seeing the expected CloudWatch logs for Kinesis Firehose, even when you believe you've set everything correctly in Terraform. The Problem You might set up your CloudWatch Log Group and Log Stream in Terraform, but upon checking CloudWatch, you find no logs being generated for your Kinesis Firehose delivery stream. This can be frustrating, especially when it seems like you've done everything right. In the case of the provided Terraform configuration, it was confirmed that the necessary infrastructure was defined correctly. However, the logs were still not being created. Let's delve deeper into potential issues and their solutions. Solution Breakdown After reviewing similar scenarios, we can pinpoint specific areas to investigate when logs aren’t showing up: 1. Check IAM Role Permissions One of the most common reasons for the absence of logs in CloudWatch is inadequate permissions associated with the IAM role used by the Kinesis Firehose. Here’s how you can resolve this: Steps: Identify the IAM Role: In your Terraform snippet, you have a role specified: aws_iam_role.sh_firehose_role.arn. Review Permissions: Ensure this role has the necessary permissions to write logs to CloudWatch and perform actions on the S3 bucket. The required permissions usually include: logs:PutLogEvents logs:CreateLogStream Actions to manage logs in the S3 bucket where error logs are stored. Example Policy: You might create a policy that looks something like this: [[See Video to Reveal this Text or Code Snippet]] 2. Enable CloudWatch Logging Options In the provided Terraform code, cloudwatch_logging_options is defined. Ensure the following: Enabled: Make sure that the enabled attribute is set to true. Correct log group and stream: Check that the log_group_name and log_stream_name refer to the correct resources you've set up previously. 3. Test the Changes After you have updated the IAM role: Apply Your Changes: Run terraform apply to assure that the new configuration takes effect. Generate Logs: Once your changes are applied, generate some traffic through your Kinesis Firehose. You may need to wait a few minutes to see the logs populate in CloudWatch. Conclusion By ensuring that your IAM role has the correct permissions and that your CloudWatch Logging Options are configured correctly in Terraform, you should be able to successfully create and view CloudWatch logs for your Kinesis Firehose. Don't forget to regularly check your configurations to maintain a healthy logging setup. If you have any further questions or face additional issues, feel free to reach out for more help!
