I'd like to send the console output from some EC2 instances to cloudwatch. Specifically I'm interested in the cloud-init output. Is there some standard way to do it in AWS configuration?

I know I can install a daemon on the instance which will forward that data, but I'd rather use a generic solution in cloudformation if possible.

I think you mean CloudWatch Logs vs CloudTrail, as CloudTrail is only for AWS API access. – Jason Martin Jun 18 '17 at 02:11
@JasonMartin yes, I did; thanks for spotting that :) – viraptor Jun 18 '17 at 02:36
