+# CloudWatchLogDownloader
+Download full logs from AWS CloudWatch
+
+[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/gardient/CloudWatchLogDownloader.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/gardient/CloudWatchLogDownloader)
+
+## Who is it for?
+For idiots like me who just want a text dump of the cloud watch log without going through S3
+
+## Why .NET?
+Because I was working with the .NET AWSSDK when writing this.
+
+## Why not .NET CORE?
+Because the AWSSDK.CloudWatchLogs nuget package doesn't support it. (As of writing this README)
+
+## Usage
+If you're still reading this means you want to use this abomination... Good.
+
+### Command line params
+|short|long|Description|
+|-----|----|-----------|
+|-g|--logGroup|The log group you want to select the stream from, can end with '*' in which case the option to choose from all groups starting with this will be given|
+|-s|--logStream|The log stream you want to save, can end with '*' in which case the option to choose from all groups starting with this will be given|
+|-o|--outputFile|The file to output the logs to.|
+|-l|--liveStream|After reaching the newest log keep polling until ctrl+c is pressed|
+
+If any of the above are not specified the program will prompt for them
