You can use Amazon CloudWatch Logs to monitor, store, and access your log files from
EC2 instances, CloudTrail, and other sources. You can then retrieve the associated
log data from CloudWatch Logs using the CloudWatch console. Alternatively, you can use
CloudWatch Logs commands in the Amazon Web Services CLI, CloudWatch Logs API, or CloudWatch
Logs SDK.
You can use CloudWatch Logs to:
Monitor logs from EC2 instances in real time: You
can use CloudWatch Logs to monitor applications and systems using log data. For example,
CloudWatch Logs can track the number of errors that occur in your application logs. Then,
it can send you a notification whenever the rate of errors exceeds a threshold that you
specify. CloudWatch Logs uses your log data for monitoring so no code changes are
required. For example, you can monitor application logs for specific literal terms (such
as "NullReferenceException"). You can also count the number of occurrences of a literal
term at a particular position in log data (such as "404" status codes in an Apache access
log). When the term you are searching for is found, CloudWatch Logs reports the data to a
CloudWatch metric that you specify.
Monitor CloudTrail logged events: You can
create alarms in CloudWatch and receive notifications of particular API activity as
captured by CloudTrail. You can use the notification to perform troubleshooting.
Archive log data: You can use CloudWatch Logs to
store your log data in highly durable storage. You can change the log retention setting so
that any log events earlier than this setting are automatically deleted. The CloudWatch
Logs agent helps to quickly send both rotated and non-rotated log data off of a host and
into the log service. You can then access the raw log data when you need it.
