Posted on: Dec 12, 2024

AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio Code now includes Amazon CloudWatch Logs Live Tail, an interactive log streaming and analytics capability which provides real-time visibility into your logs, making it easier to develop and troubleshoot your serverless applications.

The Toolkit for VS Code is an open-source extension for the Visual Studio Code (VS Code) editor. This extension makes it easier for developers to develop, debug locally, and deploy serverless applications that use AWS. This new integration brings the power of Live Tail directly into the VS Code Command Palette. CloudWatch log events can now be streamed in the VS Code Editor as they are ingested in real-time. You can search, filter, and highlight log events of interest, to aid and accelerate troubleshooting, investigations, and root cause analysis.

Amazon CloudWatch Logs Live Tail for AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio Code is available in all AWS Commercial regions.
