Best Way to View Output of Glue Jobs for PySpark Scripts

Question

So I created a job which calls a Python scripts and does PySpark transformations. However, when I view the Output from AWS Cloudwatch, the output has lots of info that is not important for me. For example:

It there a way to configure Glue job to only output to the logs statements such as from the print() that I set or due to errors or exceptions only?

Answer 1

AWS recently released an update to Glue for V2.0. This version changed how logs are sorted/grouped and now the logs that I only want to see(eg from print()) are now put together in a single place where I can view easily in AWS Cloudwatch.

So the solution is to update your Glue job to use Glue 2.0.
