If you can access your cluster, you can view service logs via your terminal.
In CloudWatch, each of the service's logs is stored in an individual log stream while a log group is a collection of log streams. OpsCanvas creates 5 log groups for each environment:
application - contains your service's logs
dataplane - Kubernetes component logs e.g. kubelet, kube-proxy, containerd, ...
host - system logs from worker nodes e.g /var/log/messages, syslog
performance - metrics related to resource utilization, like network, mem, cpu ...
cluster - audit logs, what's happening inside the cluster, e.g. failing service health checks would be logged here

Expand the Logs group on the left-hand nav, and select Log Groups:
