Support messages with non-ascii characters in splunk-cloudwatch-logs-processor #17

Description

What

When handling logs with non-ASCII information, the splunk-cloudwatch-logs-processor lambda blows up

Why

This is because it is trying to read the event string using the ASCII encoding
https://github.com/splunk/splunk-aws-serverless-apps/blob/master/splunk-cloudwatch-logs-processor/index.js#L46

Quick Fix

A quick fix for this is to instead use utf-8 encoding when reading the AWSevent

Reproducing this issue

  1. base64 decode the sample event
  2. add some Chinese characters to one of the messages
  3. base64 encode sample event
  4. run integration test
  5. observe test failure
