How can I send data from Apigee to AWS CloudWatch via SDK using flow hooks?

[HamzaJaffry]

I'm trying to integrate AWS CloudWatch with Apigee so that I can send custom logs or metrics at the end of each API proxy execution. I plan to use a flow hook in Apigee and make a ServiceCallout to a custom endpoint.

However, CloudWatch doesn't offer a simple HTTP endpoint for ingestion (as far as I know); it works via SDK

My questions are:

1. Can I wrap SDK-based logging logic into an executable file (e.g., a .exe) and somehow attach or call that from Apigee?

2. If that's not feasible, is there an established or recommended approach to forward logs/metrics from Apigee to CloudWatch?

I’ve already successfully implemented simple executable files, but I’m unsure how to proceed when SDKs are involved.

Any advice, alternatives, or architecture suggestions are welcome!

Hi @HamzaJaffry,

I noticed your question hasn’t been answered yet. Don’t worry—we’ll keep an eye on it and try to get some input from other members soon.

You should probably check with AWS, but is what you're after not potentially this or similar? https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/APIReference/API_PutMetricData.html
