copilot svc logs has multiple minute delay

[rynonl]

I am wanting to tail my AWS logs in my terminal, so I am using copilot svc logs. The logs eventually come, but at a 3-4+ minute delay. They show up in the AWS UI basically instantaneously.

Is this a known issue, or is there perhaps some configuration somewhere I should be looking at to eliminate this delay using the CLI?

hello @rynonl. It's probably because you have too many log streams (each task create its own and they won't get deleted with a task's stop). You can run svc status to get running tasks and do the log again and filter by specific running task copilot svc logs --tasks xxx.

Alternatively you can use cloudwatch logs insight which i believe would be much nicer to use for some major use cases

Hmm, I'm only showing 1 running task so I think it's probably not that?
