Dagster Integration:
Using AWS CloudWatch with Dagster

About this integration

This integration allows you to send Dagster logs to AWS CloudWatch, enabling centralized logging and monitoring of your Dagster jobs. By using AWS CloudWatch, you can take advantage of its powerful log management features, such as real-time log monitoring, log retention policies, and alerting capabilities.

Using this integration, you can configure your Dagster jobs to log directly to AWS CloudWatch, making it easier to track and debug your workflows. This is particularly useful for production environments where centralized logging is essential for maintaining observability and operational efficiency.

Installation

pip install dagster-aws

Examples

import dagster as dg
from dagster_aws.cloudwatch import cloudwatch_logger


@dg.asset
def my_asset(context: dg.AssetExecutionContext):
    context.log.info("Hello, CloudWatch!")
    context.log.error("This is an error")
    context.log.debug("This is a debug message")


defs = dg.Definitions(
    assets=[my_asset],
    loggers={
        "cloudwatch_logger": cloudwatch_logger,
    },
