Configure Logging for AWS IoT Wireless
Before you can monitor and log AWS IoT Wireless activity, first enable logging for AWS IoT Wireless resources by using either the CLI or API.
When starting to monitor AWS IoT Wireless resources, you can use the default
configuration. To do this, you can skip this topic and proceed to Monitor AWS IoT Wireless using CloudWatch Logs to monitor your logs.
After reviewing the initial logs, you can change the default log level to
ERROR, which is less verbose. You can then set a more verbose,
resource-specific log level on resources that might need more attention. Log levels can
be changed whenever you want.
AWS IoT Wireless resources and log levels
Before you configure logging, use the following table to learn about the different log levels and the resources that you can configure logging for. The table shows parameters that you see in the CloudWatch logs when you monitor the resources. How you configure the logging for your resources will determine the logs you see in the console.
For information about what a sample CloudWatch logs looks like and how you can use these parameters to log useful information about the AWS IoT Wireless resources, see View CloudWatch AWS IoT Wireless log entries.
