In this post, I make available my notes about Cloud Watch Logs made from Adrian Cantrill’s course AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA-C02). The Q&A session below can be used to validate your knowledge our create Flashcards to study as I do. Since this is a piece of knowledge in construction, there may be mistakes, drop a comment for any suggestions.
CloudWatch Logs is a component that collects and manages logs. It is hosted on AWS Public Zone and can receive events from AWS Services or On-premise infrastructure through the use of CludWatch Agent. You can use it to Store, Monitor, and Access Logging Data that is composed of data + timestamp.
Metric Filter can be used to scan logs and generates Metrics that can notify alarms to trigger actions. Data are injected into CloudWatch Log by Logging Sources formed by applications and services that generate Log Events stored into a Log Stream. You can think of Log Stream as a sequence of Log Event from the same source.
Another important component in this architecture is Log Groups, which groups Log Streams of the same type. Is on Log Group where Metric Filter, Retention, and permissions are defined.
