Huh, somehow I never noticed CloudWatch Logs; the aspect of CloudWatch I had been thinking could be useful for FreeBSD was to create an agent which would record memory/swap/disk usage to CloudWatch. Unfortunately I don't have time to work on either right now; but for a very simple proof of principle I'd suggest running the Linux CloudWatch Logs agent via the Linux emulation system. -- Colin Percival Security Officer Emeritus, FreeBSD | The power to serve Founder, Tarsnap | www.tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid
