CloudWatch Logs
CloudWatch Logs stores log events in log groups and log streams so applications and services can be inspected over time.
Why it matters
Logs provide detailed evidence that a single metric cannot provide.
How it works
Application/service writes logs → log group/stream → search/filter → correlate with metrics.
Core Concept
Log groups organize log streams and retention settings.
Avoid writing passwords, tokens or other sensitive information into logs.
