Query CloudWatch logs using the AWS CLI with `aws logs tail` for real-time monitoring or `aws logs filter-log-events` for historical searches. Specify the log group name, apply filters for patterns, and use `--follow` to stream live logs from staging or production environments.
Tail logs in real time and pipe to grep for pattern matching: `aws logs tail "/ecs/codel-staging" --format short | grep -iE "error|exception"`. For historical error searches across large time windows, use CloudWatch Insights queries to filter and analyze logs efficiently.
Yes. The AWS CLI requires valid credentials configured via environment variables, AWS profiles, or credential files. Specify `--profile` if using a non-default profile; ensure your credentials have log group read access for the staging or production environments you query.
Use `aws logs tail` with the `--follow` flag to stream logs continuously from production log groups. The command maintains an open connection and displays new log entries as they arrive, enabling real-time incident response and behavior monitoring.
Use CloudWatch Insights for querying historical log data across extended time windows, analyzing patterns over hours or days, and running aggregations. Use tail for real-time monitoring and quick spot-checks of current application behavior.
Yes. Tail individual log groups and filter output with grep for pattern searches, or use CloudWatch Insights queries to search across multiple log groups simultaneously and identify error patterns, exceptions, or specific events in staging and production environments.
