Query Application Load Balancer logs
An Application Load Balancer is a load balancing option for Elastic Load Balancing that enables traffic distribution in a microservices deployment using containers. Querying Application Load Balancer logs allows you to see the source of traffic, latency, and bytes transferred to and from Elastic Load Balancing instances and backend applications. For more information, see Access logs for your Application Load Balancer and Connection logs for your Application Load Balancer in the User Guide for Application Load Balancers.
