This program's purpose is to forward all logs received from a unix/ip socket and forward them to cloudwatch logs.

### Motivation:

* Learn go

* Small memory footprint

* No file readers

* Socket listeners

### Usage:

```

-c string

	Config file location. (default "/etc/logs_agent.cfg")

```

See [config.ini](config.ini) for possible configuration options.

### Program behaviour:

* Logs that are too old are discarded.

* Logs that exceed their allowed size are discarded.

* Incoming message timestamps are only used to set cloudwatch logs

timestamp value. They are not written in message body.
