I think this is what you are looking for: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/CloudWatch-Agent-Configuration-File-Details.html#CloudWatch-Agent-Configuration-File-Logssection|https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/CloudWatch-Agent-Configuration-File-Details.html#CloudWatch-Agent[…]-File-Logssection

you’ll want to edit the Logs Section

to complement Greg’s answer. This is a good example:

Notice this code under the logs section

                "file_path": "/var/log/messages",
                "log_group_name":  "/ec2/var/log/messages",
                "log_stream_name": "{instance_id}_{hostname}",
                "timezone": "Local"
              },```
