ecs/fargate logging from stdout (equivalent of -t option in docker)

I have a program that I'd like to run in Docker that outputs a dot every 3 seconds to stdout. Locally, if I run this I don't see the logs:

docker build . docker start

whereas if I do this, I see the logs:

docker build . docker start -t

Now, how would i get the logs when deploying to amazon fargate? I've tried a number of things but it seems stdout stream isn't being saved to the cloudwatch.

To get stdout logs in Cloudwatch you just need to specify the log driver in your ECS Task definition as awslogs.

Find more info here: https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/logging/awslogs/

and here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/using_cloudwatch_logs.html
