I want to move my logging for AWS Lambda from CloudWatch to Elasticsearch and Kibana, using Fluentd. I understand that I need to use Lambda outputs as an input to Fluentd, which I already have set up. All my Lambda functions are in Python.
Is it possible to capture Lambda output with Fluentd without additional plugins, i.e. using just tail? I do not see any Lambda input plugin in the Fluentd list, only the output one. If not, is there any possible workaround, or do I have to write plugin specifically for this? Or would simply inserting data into Elasticsearch suffice, omitting Fluentd altogether?
EDIT: to clarify, I want to get rid of CloudWatch, with no streaming to it at all.

You won't be able to do it without additional 'plugins' but you can do it with a Lambda Extension.
This code sample gives you an example.
