CloudWatchAppender - an open source appender for Amazon AWS CloudWatch

Hello,

CloudWatchAppender is a new open source project targeting developers on the
Amazon cloud. It's a new appender you can plug in to log4net. You can have
your log events show up as a graph on CloudWatch monitoring service only
changing your config file. It's packed with features but very simple to
configure.

If you already have log4net config in place, adding the ClouldWatchAppender
for basic usage entails

    <appender name="CloudWatchAppender"
type="CloudwatchAppender.CloudwatchAppender, CloudwatchAppender">
        <accessKey value="YourAWSAccessKey" />
        <secret value="YourAWSSecret" />
        <endPoint value="for example eu-west-1" />
    </appender>


Try it out and by all means branch it if you feel features are missing. I'd
love some help.
