Logs and Metrics

Service Logs

Beaker Studio captures logs for all types of services and stores them indefinitely by default. You can view the logs for a service by navigating to [service] > More > Logs. Logs for one-off tasks are linked from the deployment.

Service log streams for Beaker Studio may be found in the AWS console by going to CloudWatch > Logs > Log groups > beaker-studio. The retention period may be modified from there as well.

Build logs may be viewed by navigating to the corresponding deployment and following the CodeBuild logs link. If you are building services on multiple CPU architectures, then you will see separate build logs for each.

Performance Metrics

Beaker Studio records performance metrics (e.g., CPU and memory usage) for servers and databases by default. You can view the performance metrics for a service by navigating to [service] > More > Metrics.

Audit Logs

Audit logging is oftentimes required for compliance reasons, because it allows you to see what activity is taking place in your AWS account. We highly recommend enabling it regardless of whether it is necessary. This may be done in the AWS console by going to CloudTrail and following the instructions.
