Displaying Amazon CloudWatch Logs information using AWS Chatbot

CloudWatch alarm notifications show buttons in chat client notifications to view logs related to the alarm. These notifications use the CloudWatch Log Insights feature. There may be service charges for using this feature to query and show logs.

You can view CloudWatch logs, including error logs, that are associated with the CloudWatch alarm by choosing Show logs at the bottom of the alarm notification. AWS Chatbot displays the first 30 log entries from the start of the alarm evaluation period. AWS Chatbot uses CloudWatch Log Insights to query for logs. The query results contain a link to the CloudWatch Log Insights console, where a user can dive deeper into logs details.

Choose Show error logs to filter search results to log entries containing Error, Exception, or Fail terms.

The log shows a command that a user can copy, paste, and edit to re-run the query for viewing logs.
