trying to start snowplowmin on AWS. Used the t2.2x large instance and started the instance. I get “502 Bad Gateway” when i see access ES. I dont see any docker instances running. When i ran docker compose , to run the services, i see these errors:
What else needs to be done to start snowplow mini. I think i am using the right size EC2 instance .

@krishnamoorthy Have you tried setting up Snowplow Mini using one of the existing AWS Community AMIs? You can refer to the setup guide here:

Hi Dilyan,
I did try using one of the community AMI’s in AWS. Now it is working, i see that that aws log group was not passed correctly.

Hi @dilyan, I used the 0.14.2 AMI but gave the role, even tried with *, created the snowplow-mini log group and even gave * permissions to the EC2.

Logged into the machine and tried docker-compose up and still can’t connect to the log stream.

Cannot start service cadvisor: failed to initialize logging driver: failed to create Cloudwatch log stream

Any tips?

Thanks
Joao

Hi @joaocorreia. Thanks for sharing the error you are seeing.

Was your snowplow-mini log group created before you launched your instance? If not, can you try launching a new instance now via the same setup guide instructions now that you’ve ensured that the snowplow-mini log group is there?

Hi @lmath my bad … was so used to setting up Snowplow mini that I thought I didn’t need to read the setup guide, and I was wrong. My apologies.

Thank you
Joao
