CLI Reference

Dev Mode

Dev(elopment) Mode is an optimized development focused suite of Observability tools for building and troubleshooting Serverless architectures. To get started you need enable dev mode on your functions.

Once you have your function(s) enabled for Dev Mode you will see an aggregate stream of logs, invocation events, and spans for your function. You may need to filter for a namespace or environment to better troubleshoot your application.

Real Time Logging

Using log statements is one of the more intuitive approach troubleshooting and Serverless Console offers you a best in class experience to using logs across your Lambda Function.

Once you have enabled Dev Mode you will start seeing logs forwarded directly from your Lambda function. Historical logs for your function are also collected using CloudWatch Log Subscriptions.

Real Time Invocation Events

In addition to Logs, when you enable Tracing in your functions, you will receive real time event details for your function.

These will appear in the log stream as.

Invocation Started: your-lambda-function 

Event Payload

With Tracing enabled you also receive additional details about the invocation of your function. This allows you to better recreate and troubleshoot behavior.

This data is only forwarded to Dev Mode and is not stored in Serverless Console.

It will include helpful information about your event. Below is an example of an API Gateway request.

Invocation Logs Panel

All logs for an invocation are grouped into a Trace (even when Tracing is not enabled on a function). You can interact with any event or log by clicking on it to view all other logs, namespace and environment details along with function name and AWS Account details.

Child Span Events

With Tracing enabled you will also be able to see the sequence of all child spans of a Trace by clicking on a log or event. This will show detailed information about the interactions of your Lambda function along with more detailed specifics about those interactions.

In Dev Mode this includes specific of the request and response of particular interactions that can be helpful for troubleshooting. For example below is a sample Dynamo DB request.

TAGs sample needed for this

Filtering

The default view for dev mode is across all your logs and invocations, so you will likely need to apply filters to meaningfully utilize Dev Mode. We recommend filtering by Namespace or [Environment] but you can also utilize this to do keyword searches such as a user-id, or tag.

Log Formatting

Where possible we detect and format structured logs such as JSON. We also include encoded information in logs if you enable Tracing on a function but this is hidden in development mode. In some cases we also hide logs that are not relevant for display but encode information about the Trace
