# Viewing text logs in Amazon CloudWatch Logs from Lex V2 Amazon Lex V2 stores text logs for your conversations in Amazon CloudWatch Logs. To view the logs, use the CloudWatch Logs console or API. For more information, see [ Search Log Data Using Filter Patterns](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/logs/SearchDataFilterPattern.html) and [CloudWatch Logs Insights Query Syntax](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/logs/CWL_QuerySyntax.html) in the *Amazon CloudWatch Logs User Guide*. **To view logs using the Amazon Lex V2 console** 1. Open the Amazon Lex V2 console [https://console.aws.amazon.com/lexv2](https://console.aws.amazon.com/lexv2). 1. From the list, choose a bot. 1. From the left menu, choose **Analytics** and then choose **CloudWatch metrics**. 1. View metrics for your bot on the **CloudWatch metrics** page. You can also use the CloudWatch console or API to view your log entries. To find the log entries, navigate to the log group that you configured for the alias. You can find the log stream prefix for your logs in the Amazon Lex V2 console or by using the [DescribeBotAlias](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lexv2/latest/APIReference/API_DescribeBotAlias.html) operation. Log entries for a user utterance are found in multiple log streams. An utterance in the conversation has an entry in one of the log streams with the specified prefix. An entry in the log stream contains the following information: message-version The message schema version. bot Details about the bot that the customer is interacting with. messages The response that the bot sent back to the user. utteranceContext Information about processing this utterance. + `runtimeHints`—runtime context used to transcribe and interpret the user's input. For more information, see [Improving recognition of slot values with runtime hints in the conversation](using-hints.md). + `slotElicitationStyle`—Slot elicitation style used to interpret user input. For more information, see [Capturing slot values with spelling styles during the conversation](spelling-styles.md). sessionState The current state of the conversation between the user and the bot. For more information, see [Understanding Amazon Lex V2 bot conversations](managing-conversations.md). interpretations A list of intents that Amazon Lex V2 determined could satisfy the user's utterance. [Using confidence scores to improve conversation accuracy](confidence-scores.md). interpretationSource Indicates whether a slot is resolved by Amazon Lex V2 or Amazon Bedrock. Values: Lex \$1 Bedrock sessionId The identifier of the user session that is having the conversation. inputTranscript A transcription of the input from the user. + For text input, this is the text that the user typed. For DTMF input, this is the key that the user input. + For speech input, this is the text to which Amazon Lex V2 converts the user utterance in order to invoke an intent or fill a slot. rawInputTranscript The raw transcript of the user input before any text processing is applied. Note: Text processing is only for en-US and en-GB locales. transcriptions A list of potential transcriptions of the user's input. For more information, see [Using voice transcription confidence scores to improve conversations with your Lex V2 bot](using-transcript-confidence-scores.md). rawTranscription Using voice transcription confidence scores. For more information, see [Using voice transcription confidence scores to improve conversations with your Lex V2 bot](using-transcript-confidence-scores.md). missedUtterance Indicates whether Amazon Lex V2 was able to recognize the user's utterance. requestId Amazon Lex V2 generated request ID for the user input. timestamp The timestamp of the user's input. developerOverride Indicates whether the conversation flow was updated using a dialog code hook. For more information on using a dialog code hook, see [Integrating an AWS Lambda function into your Amazon Lex V2 bot](lambda.md). inputMode Indicates the type of input. Can be audio, DTMF, or text. requestAttributes The request attributes used when processing the user's input. audioProperties If audio conversation logs are enabled and the user input was in audio format, includes the total duration of the audio input, the duration of voice and the duration of silence in the audio. It also includes a link to the audio file. bargeIn Indicates whether the user input interrupted the previous bot response. responseReason The reason a response was generated. Can be one of: + `UtteranceResponse` – response to user input + `StartTimeout` – server generated response when the user didn't provide input + `StillWaitingResponse` – server generated response when the user requests the bot wait + `FulfillmentInitiated` – server generated response that fulfillment is about to be initiated + `FulfillmentStartedResponse` – server generated response that fulfillment has begun + `FulfillmentUpdateResponse` – periodic server generated response while fulfillment is in progress + `FulfillmentCompletedResponse` – server generated response when fulfillment is complete. operationName The API used to interact with the bot. Can be one of `PutSession`, `RecognizeText`, `RecognizeUtterance`, or `StartConversation`. ``` { "message-version": "2.0", "bot": { "id": "string", "name": "string", "aliasId": "string", "aliasName": "string", "localeId": "string", "version": "string" }, "messages": [ { "contentType": "PlainText | SSML | CustomPayload | ImageResponseCard", "content": "string", "imageResponseCard": { "title": "string", "subtitle": "string", "imageUrl": "string", "buttonsList": [ { "text": "string", "value": "string" } ] } } ], "utteranceContext": { "activeRuntimeHints": { "slotHints": { "string": { "string": { "runtimeHintValues": [ { "phrase": "string" }, { "phrase": "string" } ] } } } }, "slotElicitationStyle": "string" }, "sessionState": { "dialogAction": { "type": "Close | ConfirmIntent | Delegate | ElicitIntent | ElicitSlot", "slotToElicit": "string" }, "intent": { "name": "string", "slots": { "string": { "value": { "interpretedValue": "string", "originalValue": "string", "resolvedValues": [ "string" ] } }, "string": { "shape": "List", "value": { "originalValue": "string", "interpretedValue": "string", "resolvedValues": [ "string" ] }, "values": [ { "shape": "Scalar", "value": { "originalValue": "string", "interpretedValue": "string", "resolvedValues": [ "string" ] } }, { "shape": "Scalar", "value": { "originalValue": "string", "interpretedValue": "string", "resolvedValues": [ "string" ] } } ] } }, "kendraResponse": { // Only present when intent is KendraSearchIntent.
