How to get logs of codepipeline using aws cli?

Question

So when I trigger a codepipeline using the below command:

aws codepipeline start-pipeline-execution --name MyFirstPipeline

I only get an asynchronous response

{
    "pipelineExecutionId": "c53dbd42-This-Is-An-Example"
}

Now how do I stream the logs of build and deploy stages?

P.S I can see the logs in cloud watch but how can I get that logs using AWS cli?

Screens

Which logs? Do you have any example/screenshot? – Empoison

I mean codedeploy and codebuild logs via AWS cli – Screens

They will be in cloudwatch. – Empoison

yeah but I am triggering using CLI. How Can I see that logs in terminal using AWS CLI? – Screens

You can't. You have to query CloudWatch independently. – Empoison

You can access codebuild and codedeploy logs from CLI using aws logs command. An example to get codebuild logs is to first get the log group aws logs describe-log-groups --query 'logGroups[?contains(logGroupName, codebuild)]', then get the log-streams using aws logs describe-log-streams --log-group-name --log-stream-name and finally you call aws logs get-log-events with the log-group-name and log-stream-name that you got from previous 2 commands – Genipap

AFAIK we can integrate codepipeline to store logs in cloudwatch. You can use aws cli to get logs from cloudwatch using below approaches

• aws logs get-log-events --log-group-name <LOG_GROUP_NAME> --log-stream-name <LOG_STREAM_NAME>

If you want fancy stuff you can also look into https://github.com/jorgebastida/awslogs to get logs

But the question was how to make the link from CodePipeline ... could you elaborate? – Sst
