3. Access Log Groups:

   • In the CloudWatch dashboard, on the left-hand side, click on "Logs" to expand the menu.
   • Click on "Log groups" to view the list of log groups.

4. View Log Streams:

   • Click on the log group you are interested in to view its log streams.
   • Click on a log stream to view the log events.

Using AWS CLI

1. List Log Groups:

   • Open your terminal.
   • Run the following command to list all log groups:

     aws logs describe-log-groups

2. List Log Streams for a Specific Log Group:

     aws logs describe-log-streams --log-group-name <log-group-name>

3. Get Log Events from a Specific Log Stream:

   • Run the following command, replacing <log-group-name> and <log-stream-name> with the appropriate names:

     aws logs get-log-events --log-group-name <log-group-name> --log-stream-name <log-stream-name>

Example Commands

• List all log groups:

  aws logs describe-log-groups

• List log streams for a log group named "my-log-group":

  aws logs describe-log-streams --log-group-name my-log-group

• Get log events from a log stream named "my-log-stream" in the log group "my-log-group":

  aws logs get-log-events --log-group-name my-log-group --log-stream-name my-log-stream

Notes

• Ensure your AWS CLI is configured with the correct region and credentials.
• You may need additional permissions to view certain log groups and streams.
