AWS lambda expected intended block error in Python

Question

I am following the below document to connect to Cloudwatch logs to ELK.

I get a "expected an indented block" syntax error in python for this line.

try: logs = awslogs_handler(s, event)

Can someone help me figure this out? Not sure what im missing.

Thanks!

The entire example has incorrect indentation, not only the try line. — Marcin

Thats true, when i moved to correcting try, i see issue with the next for statements. Is there a way to correct this? @Marcin — AlisonGrey

It has to be manually all fixed. I'm not aware of any automated way to fix that. — Marcin

You need to use something like this:

try:
    logs = awslogs_handler(s, event)

An indent block(contains four whitespaces) are required. You can read more here
