How do I push log events to CloudWatchLogs?

[rnhurt]

I'm (very) new to Rust, and I'm having trouble sending log events to CloudWatchLogs.

I'm trying to construct an "event" to feed to put_log_events() but I don't know enough about Rust to make it happen. I can't seem to find where InputLogEvent struct is defined or how to instantiate a new one. I looked at the samples for CloudWatchLogs but they seem to only show "ReadOnly" processes and nothing that inserts new log events.

Here's the code that I have right now, but it doesn't work:

    let region_provider = RegionProviderChain::default_provider().or_else("us-east-1");
    let config = aws_config::from_env().region(region_provider).load().await;
    let client = Client::new(&config);

    let event = client.InputLogEvent {
        timestamp: 123,
        message: String::from("this is a test message"),
    };

    let resp = client.put_log_events()
                .log_group_name("test_name")
                .log_stream_name("test_stream")
                .log_events(event)
                .send().await?;

Just to provide an answer for future me; I found out how the "builder" pattern works.

This code will create an "event" which you can feed to the "put_log_events" call:

    let time = SystemTime::now().duration_since(UNIX_EPOCH).unwrap();
    let event = InputLogEvent::builder()
        .timestamp(time.as_micros().try_into().unwrap())
        .message(String::from("this is a test message"))
        .build();
