Fixed in this way:

import { createLogger, format } from 'winston';
import * as WinstonCloudWatch from 'winston-cloudwatch';

export const log = createLogger({
    level: 'debug',
    format: format.json(),
    transports: [
        new WinstonCloudWatch({
            level: 'error',
            logGroupName: 'groupName',
            logStreamName: 'errors',
            awsRegion: 'eu-west-3'
        }),
    ]
});

Hmmm do you really get that to compile? For me that results in Cannot use 'new' with an expression whose type lacks a call or construct signature. for the new WinstonCloudWatch call. The typescript definition for the main class seems pretty broken, sadly.

[perbergland]

This compiles but crashes because the typescript export doesn’t match the actual export:

   transports.push(new WinstonCloudWatch.default(cwOptions));

I am having the same issue.

for anyone else having this problem I found that this fixed it fro me:

instead of

import * as WinstonCloudWatch from 'winston-cloudwatch'

use require

const WinstonCloudWatch = require('winston-cloudwatch')

In an ES6 node project and @parque-docs's solution is what only worked for me. Any reason why the docs shouldn't be updated?

@dwilt No, other than that's an error :D, I've just updated it. Thanks.

I am still getting WinstonCloudWatch is not a constructor with import * as WinstonCloudWatch from 'winston-cloudwatch';

Solved by calling new WinstonCloudWatch.default but not new WinstonCloudWatch
