This container is intended to upload logfiles to Amazon CloudWatch Logs service. If you don't set any environment variables, container will start with the following config:

[/mnt/logs/access.log]
datetime_format = %d/%b/%Y:%H:%M:%S %z
file = /mnt/logs/access.log
buffer_duration = 5000
log_stream_name = {instance_id}
initial_position = start_of_file
log_group_name = nginx-server

• AWS_LOGFILE default is "/mnt/logs/access.log"
• AWS_LOGFORMAT default is "%d/%b/%Y:%H:%M:%S %z"
• AWS_DURATION default is "5000"
• AWS_GROUPNAME default is "nginx-server"

# Run container with Nginx
docker run -d --name nginx -v /mnt/logs:/var/log/nginx -p 80:80 sergeyzh/centos6-nginx

# Run container with AWS CloudWatch logs uploader
docker run -d --name awslogs -e AWS_LOGFILE=/mnt/logs/access.log -e AWS_DURATION=10000 -v /mnt/logs:/mnt/logs sergeyzh/awslogs

Now you can see access logs of your Nginx at AWS Console.

NOTE: Of course you should run it on the Amazon EC2 and you should set IAM role for you instance according manual.
