@ChiragM17265909To send Pega rules and data logs from Pega pods (version 24.1.2) to AWS CloudWatch, deploy the AWS CloudWatch Agent or Fluent Bit as a DaemonSet in your Kubernetes cluster. Configure a ConfigMap to specify the log file paths (/pega/rules/logs/*.log and /pega/data/logs/*.log) and link it to the agent. Ensure the CloudWatch Agent or Fluent Bit has the necessary IAM permissions (logs:CreateLogGroup, logs:CreateLogStream, logs:PutLogEvents). Mount the log directories from the pods to the agent container using volume mounts. The agent will collect logs from the specified paths and send them to CloudWatch log groups. For Fluent Bit, configure the tail input plugin and cloudwatch_logs output plugin to stream logs directly to CloudWatch. Apply the configuration and restart the pods to verify that logs are being sent. Check the CloudWatch console to confirm the log streams under the specified log groups
