View connection logs

You can view your Client VPN connection logs using the CloudWatch Logs console.

**To view your connection logs using the console**

1. Open the CloudWatch console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/).

1. In the navigation pane, choose **Log groups**, and select the log group that contains your connection logs. 

1. Select the log stream for your Client VPN endpoint.
**Note**  
The **Timestamp** column displays the time that the connection log was published to CloudWatch Logs, not the time of the connection.
