A twelve-factor app never concerns itself with routing or storage of its output stream. It should not attempt to write to or manage logfiles. Instead, each running process writes its event stream, unbuffered, to stdout .
Advantage would be, we don't have to configure different logging endpoints for different environment(dev/prod), unhandled exception written to stderr won't be missed.
I have some scripts in Python and Node.js which already logs to stdout/stderr and I don't want to modify those scripts for centralised logging.
So, how do I make these logs parsed into structured data and collected by logstash(including multiline errors).
In AWS stdout/stderr from Lambda or Beanstalk are captured by CloudWatch. So, if that's possible then there should be a way to do the same with logstash.
