SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The CloudWatch Logs tool eliminates manual console hunting by giving you guided access to log groups, streams, Insights queries, and policies so you can quickly correlate errors across Lambda, API Gateway, Glue, RDS, ECS, and other services.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Comprehensive Log Inspection: Describe log groups, streams, and events with optional filters to examine execution details and latency anomalies.
  • Insights Query Workflow: Start queries, wait for results, and fetch data sets so you can answer questions such as which Lambda function emitted ERROR traces or what the average latency is.
  • Policy and Resource Management: Create, tag, or delete log groups, streams, metric filters, subscription filters, retention policies, and resource policies to keep your observability stack tidy and secure.

Quick Start

Ask awsclaw-cloudwatch to run FilterLogEvents on your Lambda log group for ERROR entries from the past hour.

FAQPage Schema
How do I search CloudWatch logs for Lambda errors without using the AWS console?

You can search CloudWatch logs for Lambda errors by running FilterLogEvents commands with structured parameters to query specific log groups for ERROR entries. This surfaces execution details and latency anomalies directly without manual console navigation.

How do I run CloudWatch Insights queries to find average latency across API Gateway and ECS?

CloudWatch Insights queries let you start queries, wait for results, and fetch data sets to analyze average latency and errors across API Gateway and ECS. You can execute StartQuery and GetQueryResults operations using structured parameter objects.

Can I manage CloudWatch retention policies and metric filters for RDS and Glue log groups?

Yes, you can create, tag, or delete CloudWatch retention policies, metric filters, and subscription filters for RDS and Glue log groups. The tool supports resource policy management to keep your observability stack tidy and secure.

What is the best way to correlate errors across Step Functions and Lambda CloudWatch log streams?

The best way to correlate errors across Step Functions and Lambda is to aggregate CloudWatch log groups, streams, and events with optional filters. This surfaces errors and operational status across AWS services in a guided view rather than manual console hunting.

Does this CloudWatch logs tool work with structured parameters for Describe and Insights operations?

Yes, the tool requires AWS CloudWatch Logs commands that accept structured params objects for Describe, Filter, Insights Start, and Get operations. This ensures precise filtering when investigating Lambda, API Gateway, Glue, RDS, ECS, and Step Functions behavior.
