// Package cloudwatchlogs provides the API client, operations, and parameter types
// for Amazon CloudWatch Logs.
//
// You can use Amazon CloudWatch Logs to monitor, store, and access your log files
// from EC2 instances, CloudTrail, and other sources. You can then retrieve the
// associated log data from CloudWatch Logs using the CloudWatch console.
// Alternatively, you can use CloudWatch Logs commands in the Amazon Web Services
// CLI, CloudWatch Logs API, or CloudWatch Logs SDK.
//
// You can use CloudWatch Logs to:
//
// - Monitor logs from EC2 instances in real time: You can use CloudWatch Logs
// to monitor applications and systems using log data. For example, CloudWatch Logs
// can track the number of errors that occur in your application logs. Then, it can
// send you a notification whenever the rate of errors exceeds a threshold that you
// specify. CloudWatch Logs uses your log data for monitoring so no code changes
// are required. For example, you can monitor application logs for specific literal
// terms (such as "NullReferenceException"). You can also count the number of
// occurrences of a literal term at a particular position in log data (such as
// "404" status codes in an Apache access log). When the term you are searching for
// is found, CloudWatch Logs reports the data to a CloudWatch metric that you
// specify.
//
// - Monitor CloudTrail logged events: You can create alarms in CloudWatch and
// receive notifications of particular API activity as captured by CloudTrail. You
// can use the notification to perform troubleshooting.
//
// - Archive log data: You can use CloudWatch Logs to store your log data in
// highly durable storage. You can change the log retention setting so that any log
// events earlier than this setting are automatically deleted. The CloudWatch Logs
// agent helps to quickly send both rotated and non-rotated log data off of a host
// and into the log service. You can then access the raw log data when you need it.
