How to reduce buffering / cause auto-flush when viewing AWS Cloudwatch logs with --follow option

Viewed 117

The AWS cli command logs is v useful for keeping up with what our instances are doing

I use the following to view our application logs while:

  • filtering out the HTTP requests
  • filtering out the HealthChecks
aws --follow --region=ap-south-1 logs tail "/ECS-CLUSTER/" --since 5h
       | grep -v "GET /" | grep -v "POST /" | grep -v HealthCh

This works well - except that the last one to two KB of logs are not displayed. They are apparently not flushed out. Is there a knob to turn to disable the buffering or to ensure the content is transmitted after some maximum wait say 1000ms?
