Awslogs
awslogs is a command line interface and terminal-based utility for querying, filtering, and streaming log events from AWS CloudWatch. It functions as a log management tool and cloud-native viewer for navigating log groups and streams.
The tool provides capabilities for real-time log monitoring and the extraction of specific fields from JSON-formatted logs to simplify data review. It allows for the isolation of system issues through the use of time offsets, regular expressions, and custom filter patterns.
The utility covers log event retrieval and the listing of available log groups and streams. It supports constraining data retrieval through time-window filtering and reducing data volume via pattern-based filtering.
