&gt; Should I install and configure AWS cli in the container?
No, you don't need to install anything in the container
&gt; How can I test that I configured cloudwatch receiver properly?
By verifying if the sample data (log/metric) is received into SigNoz

ok, so how will the OTL container access my host machine aws cli?

It doesn't need to access cli. You just need to make sure host is configured with relevant creds. Which is detailed in the Configure AWS section.

but how exactly the container access the host credentials?

there is no volume ~/.aws to the OTL container

<@U01NT95GV8B> still need your awesome brain here haha

could you make a video showing E2E how one can send CloudWatch logs to Signoz, when using Signoz from Docker Composer services

The idea is host machine is configured to make calls to AWS resources. The container doesn't use the secrets itself.

and how does it happen exactly? can the container run tasks on the host machine? how?
