If I am using this at my local machine, and I get this following error.

com.amazonaws.SdkClientException: Failed to connect to service endpoint: at com.amazonaws.internal.EC2ResourceFetcher.doReadResource(EC2ResourceFetcher.java:100) at com.amazonaws.internal.EC2ResourceFetcher.doReadResource(EC2ResourceFetcher.java:70) at com.amazonaws.internal.InstanceMetadataServiceResourceFetcher.readResource(InstanceMetadataServiceResourceFetcher.java:75) at com.amazonaws.internal.EC2ResourceFetcher.readResource(EC2ResourceFetcher.java:66) at com.amazonaws.util.EC2MetadataUtils.getItems(EC2MetadataUtils.java:403) at com.amazonaws.util.EC2MetadataUtils.getData(EC2MetadataUtils.java:372) at com.amazonaws.util.EC2MetadataUtils.getData(EC2MetadataUtils.java:368) at com.amazonaws.util.EC2MetadataUtils.fetchData(EC2MetadataUtils.java:422) at com.amazonaws.util.EC2MetadataUtils.fetchData(EC2MetadataUtils.java:416) at com.amazonaws.util.EC2MetadataUtils.getInstanceId(EC2MetadataUtils.java:136) at com.j256.cloudwatchlogbackappender.CloudWatchAppender$CloudWatchWriter.lookupInstanceName(CloudWatchAppender.java:712) at com.j256.cloudwatchlogbackappender.CloudWatchAppender$CloudWatchWriter.createLogsClient(CloudWatchAppender.java:622) at com.j256.cloudwatchlogbackappender.CloudWatchAppender$CloudWatchWriter.writeEvents(CloudWatchAppender.java:534) at com.j256.cloudwatchlogbackappender.CloudWatchAppender$CloudWatchWriter.run(CloudWatchAppender.java:497) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748)

Can you make it so the "addr" can use the local IP ?

Hello?

I support @tosehee in this request. It really should be a no-brainer for local development. I would rather not fork this to get this feature in.
