Do you use the web console or the CLI. Ideally is there a desktop native app that can use my locally stored keys to read Cloudwatch logs and can give decent search and filtering features for each logstream? Does anyone know about any such tools?
I think most people just use the AWS Console. By the way, compared to regular CloudWatch, CloudWatch Insights has faster searches and a SQL-like query language, so it's better to use that if you can.
