# 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.
