Lager failed to install handler lager_cloudwatch_backend into lager_event

This line,

{socket_error, {econnrefused, ...} ...}

suggests that your instance cannot reach AWS CloudWatch service. Check the network settings and your firewalls to make sure the instance can reach out AWS services.

@noxdafox do you have any idea what ports those might be? i am doing this using docker so it could be the reason

[noxdafox]

You can refer to AWS documentation to know what are the requirements for your environment to work.

Is this issue still ongoing?

i have given up on this. i opened all ports mentioned in https://docs.aws.amazon.com/workspaces/latest/adminguide/workspaces-port-requirements.html
in docker and still no luck.

I had the same problem. It turned out if you are testing on local machine just having .aws in your home folder (for rabbitmq docker image it should be in /var/lib/rabbitmq/.aws) is not working, you should have explicitly set aws environment variables:

root@01382c1e6bc6:/# export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<aws_access_key_id>
root@01382c1e6bc6:/# export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<aws_secret_access_key>
root@01382c1e6bc6:/# export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=<region>
root@01382c1e6bc6:/# rabbitmq-server

Hi I have a similar issue. I'm getting the following error.
Lager failed to install handler lager_cloudwatch_backend into lager_event, retrying later : {'EXIT',
{{case_clause,
{error,

I'm using RabbitMQ 3.8.23 and Erlang 23.3.1

Any other sugestions why logs are not beeing published to cloudwatch and only metrics ?
