aws logs tail --follow never exits about aws-cli HOT 5 CLOSED

i'm sorry but why is it a bug ? the log group still exists, thus, the logs tail --follow does not exits.
an ECS task finishing has absolutely nothing to do with the state of your log group / stream.

If you need to do something programmatically, either trigger an SNS event when the task is finished or monitor its status inside your app

Thanks for reaching out and your patience here. The tail command documentation notes the following for the --follow parameter:

--follow (boolean) Whether to continuously poll for new logs. By default, the command will exit once there are no more logs to display. To exit from this mode, use Control-C.

So if there are no more logs then I would expect the command to exit. Is this issue consistently reproducible? And outside of Fargate as well? Have you tried testing on more recent versions of the CLI? (The latest version per the CHANGELOG is 2.15.51.)

There may be a delay in the ingestion of logs from the Fargate task to the CloudWatch Logs service. It's also possible that the log stream associated with the Fargate task is not being properly terminated or marked as complete, causing the aws logs tail command to continue waiting for more logs indefinitely.

If you can provide debug logs (with sensitive info redacted) by adding --debug to the command then that might help provide more insight into the issue. Otherwise using the get-log-events command could serve as a workaround.

Sorry for the late response.

I'll make sure I'm on the latest version(s) and repro with the --debug flag.

Stay tuned.
