Epsagon automatically correlates traces to logs in the following programming languages and logging frameworks:

  • Java: SLF4J framework
  • Node.js: Bunyan
  • Python: logging module

Using a different programming language or logging framework? Let us know by hitting the button at the bottom right-hand corner.

Troubleshooting#

I can't see task logs / No logs found for this task in CloudWatch#

In the ECS screen, Epsagon pulls logs from tasks that are configured to ship logs into CloudWatch Logs (logDriver: awslogs). In case that button is disabled, it means that your logs are not configured with this driver.

To learn more about configuring awslogs as your log driver, please read more the following tutorial.
