AWS Lambda allows you to run code without the burden of provisioning or managing servers. The AWS Lambda ULM App is a unified logs and metrics (ULM) app for monitoring operation and performance trends in the Lambda functions in your account.

The AWS Observability Lambda utilizes Lambda Logs and Metrics from CloudWatch, as well as CloudTrail Lambda Data Events. Preconfigured dashboards provide insights into executions, such as memory and duration usage by function versions or aliases, as well as performance metrics such as errors, throttles, invocations, and concurrent executions.

Log and metric types

The AWS Lambda ULM app uses the following logs and metrics:
