Lambda@Edge not logging on cloudfront request
When you deploy Lambda@Edge function, It is deployed to all edge cache regions across the world with their version Replica of the Lambda Edge function. Regional edge caches are a subset of the main AWS regions and edge locations.
When a user requests to the nearest pop/edge, the lambda associated with the edge cache region will get called. All logs of Lambda associated with those regions will in their edge cache region CloudWatch logs.
For example:
If a user is hitting us-east-1
region then its associated logs will be in us-east-1
.
To know exactly where (on which region) your function is logging, you can run this AWS CLI script:
FUNCTION_NAME=function_name_without_qualifiers
for region in $(aws --output text ec2 describe-regions | cut -f 3)
do
for loggroup in $(aws --output text logs describe-log-groups --log-group-name "/aws/lambda/us-east-1.$FUNCTION_NAME" --region $region --query 'logGroups[].logGroupName')
do
echo $region $loggroup
done
done
on which you have to replace "function_name_without_qualifiers" with the name of your lambda@edge. Link
Hope it helps.
For those who have also searched for logs and couldn't find them with the script provided by @Kannaiyan.
TL;DR
Use this IAM Role for your Lambda function
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": "logs:CreateLogGroup",
"Resource": "arn:aws:logs:*:*:*"
},
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"logs:CreateLogStream",
"logs:PutLogEvents"
],
"Resource": [
"arn:aws:logs:*:*:log-group:*:*"
]
}
]
}
====
Make sure you have correct IAM role. If you created a Lambda first and then deployed it to Lambda@Edge, automatically generated IAM Role will only have permissions enough to log data in a single region into the log group named after the Lambda function, whilst using Lambda@Edge means it'll try to log data in different regions into the "/aws/lambda/." log group. Therefore it is necessary to change the IAM Role to allow creation of log group and write access there in different regions. In the TL;DR section, I provided the sample IAM Role, but make sure to narrow down the access to the specific list of log groups in production
According to AWS Documentation for Lambda@Edge Functions:
When you check for the log files, be aware that log files are stored in the Region closest to the location where the function is executed. So if you visit a website from, for example, London, you must change the Region to view the CloudWatch Logs for the London Region.
