# SearchIndexer Auditing with CloudWatch Logs
To keep track of our actions around adding and removing vods from search indexer,
we've setup audit logs through CloudWatch Logs. Each Vinyl instance will log
events to a separate log stream, and we will use the awslogs cli tool to search
them.

## Searching Logs With awslogs
This section will take you through installing the awslogs tool and using it to
search through log streams. The awslogs tool lives at
https://github.com/jorgebastida/awslogs

#### Install awslogs
`pip install awslogs --ignore-installed six`

#### Use awslogs to get aggregated logs
`awslogs get vinyl-staging ALL`
