Use AWS SDK for logging

For advanced use cases where Amplify does not provide the functionality, you can retrieve the escape hatch to access the underlying Amazon CloudWatch client.

The escape hatch provides access to the underlying CloudWatchLogsClient instance. Then retrieve the escape hatch with this code:

Gradle Imports

1implementation "aws.sdk.kotlin:cloudwatchlogs:KOTLIN_SDK_VERSION"
1AWSCloudWatchLoggingPlugin plugin = (AWSCloudWatchLoggingPlugin)Amplify.Logging.getPlugin("awsCloudWatchLoggingPlugin");
2CloudWatchLogsClient client = plugin.getEscapeHatch();
1val plugin = Amplify.Logging.getPlugin("awsCloudWatchLoggingPlugin") as AWSCloudWatchLoggingPlugin
2val client = plugin.escapeHatch
1AWSCloudWatchLoggingPlugin plugin = (AWSCloudWatchLoggingPlugin)Amplify.Logging.getPlugin("awsCloudWatchLoggingPlugin");
2CloudWatchLogsClient client = plugin.getEscapeHatch();
