Any AWS Lambda logging tools alternatives?

Lambda default using Cloudwatch for logging, but the date query and display format are hard to use. Any other logging tools suggestion?

Hi, great question!

You can use the built-in AWS tools like CloudWatch or AWS X-Ray, but you will quickly see that it doesn’t give you everything you need to debug real-world issues quickly. I recommend using a third-party product such as Lumigo. Lumigo is Effortless AWS Lambda Monitoring. Here are its main features:

Find & Fix Issues in Seconds with Visual Debugging
Automatic Distributed Tracing
Identify & Remove Performance Bottlenecks
Serverless-Specific Smart Alerts
visualizes your entire serverless stack,
including all your favorite services
And many more!

You can try the free tier plan, and I'm sure you'll fall in love with it. Good luck!

Other 3rd party logging and monitoring tools are Dashbird, IOpipe, Stackery, and Datadog.
IOPipe seems like a viable alternative to CloudWatch, especially if you’re new to AWS Lambda and just want to get started quickly. I can totally see the value of that simplicity.

I just released SenseLogs which is a CloudWatch viewer. Born of frustration with wanting to find app issues and errors easily in CWL.

SenseLogs is an AWS CloudWatch Logs viewer that runs fast, entirely in your browser. There is no server-side services required. SenseLogs transparently downloads log data and stores events in your browser application cache for immediate viewing, smooth scrolling and instant queries. SenseLogs supports infinite scrolling through log data with powerful full text searching.
