syntax highlighting for CloudWatch query syntax... but why?!
Log Groups & Log Streams
Each Lambda function will have a Log Group
If you have a Lambda function named my-function
, the log group will look like
/aws/lambda/my-function
. If the lambda is deployed to Lambda@Edge
, the log group
will look like /aws/lambda/<REGION>.<FUNCTION_NAME>
.
Kind | Format | Example |
---|---|---|
Regular | /aws/lambda/<FUNCTION_NAME> | /aws/lambda/my-function |
Lambda@Edge | /aws/lambda/<REGION>.<FUNCTION_NAME> | /aws/lambda/us-east-1.my-function |
Log Streams
Each log group will have multiple log streams.
Format | Example |
---|---|
