The following commands can be used to list the Error messages from cloudwatch logs, produced from DMS (Database Migration service).
First list the log groups
aws logs describe-log-groups
Next list the log streams in your log group
aws logs describe-log-streams --log-group-name <YourLogGroupNameHere>
Next list the error messages. Within the DMS log, the Errors are indicated with a pattern “E:” within the error string, so that is the pattern we search for.
aws logs filter-log-events --log-group-name <YourLogGroupNameHere> --log-stream-names <YourLogStreamNameHere> --filter-pattern "[message = \"*E:*\"]" --query 'events[*].message'
If you are searching in cloudwatch logs produced from other sevices, you should replace E: with the pattern that flags Error messages for that service.
