Saw is a fast, multi-purpose command-line tool for AWS CloudWatch Logs written in Go. It lets users list log groups and streams, tail interleaved logs across a group, and fetch historical logs with filtering and colorized JSON output.

Use cases

• tail cloudwatch logs from the terminal
• stream aws log group logs in color
• search cloudwatch logs for errors
• view json cloudwatch logs pretty printed
• fetch cloudwatch logs for a time range
• list aws log groups and streams from cli

When to choose

• you frequently inspect or tail CloudWatch Logs and want a faster, friendlier alternative to the AWS CLI
• you want colorized, expandable JSON output and pattern filtering for logs
• you need a single static binary or Docker image for log viewing across platforms

When to avoid

• your logs live outside AWS CloudWatch
• you need log aggregation, storage, or alerting rather than viewing and tailing
• you require a GUI-based log explorer
