feat: add fuzzy searching for log group names
When you're building Lambda functions with CDK, you can't always guess the log prefix, and even if you can, it's a bit unweildy.
For example, with a CDK stack with logical ID "NodeCountExampleAwsLambdaStack" and a Lambda function called "CountGetFunction", CDK generates a CloudWatch Log Group of:
/aws/lambda/NodeCountExampleAwsLambda-CountGetFunctionD35D8410-
Note how "NodeCountExampleAwsLambdaStack" is truncated to "NodeCountExampleAwsLambda". There are also limits on the function logical ID.
To save me from having to use saw groups | grep CountGet
, then copy / paste the outputted group name so that I can run saw get <groupname>
, I thought it would be helpful to be able to "fuzzy search" the group name.
So in this PR, I've implemented a basic "contains substring" search for the log group that's only triggered when a --fuzzy
flag is set.
You can get the logs directly with:
saw --fuzzy CountGet
Compared to:
saw get /aws/lambda/NodeCountExampleAwsLambda-CountGetFunctionD35D8410....
Obviously, it costs a CloudWatch Log API call or two if you use the fuzzy search flag, but it's not the default behaviour so won't affect anyone that doesn't use it.
very nice -- I will take a look when I get some time to do so, thank you
