* You can use Amazon CloudWatch Logs to monitor, store, and access your log
* files from Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances, Amazon
* CloudTrail, or other sources. You can then retrieve the associated log data
* from CloudWatch Logs using the Amazon CloudWatch console, the CloudWatch Logs
* commands in the AWS CLI, the CloudWatch Logs API, or the CloudWatch Logs SDK.
*
*
* You can use CloudWatch Logs to:
*
*
* -
*
* Monitor Logs from Amazon 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 and send you a notification whenever the rate of errors
* exceeds a threshold 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") or 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 Amazon CloudWatch metric that you specify.
*
*
* -
*
* Monitor Amazon CloudTrail Logged Events: You can create alarms in
* Amazon CloudWatch and receive notifications of particular API activity as
* captured by CloudTrail and 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 older than this setting are automatically deleted. The
* CloudWatch Logs agent makes it easy 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.
