I tend to agree with those saying D. Rationale: The engineer gets "error loading Log Streams" message, which is when there is NO stream to load in the first place. Hence D is the answer. Had it been that the stream is available and the engineer could not retrieve the logs, then option C (adding GetLogEvents) could help.

To enable Lambda functions to properly log to Cloud-Watch, their execution role needs the permissions to create log groups, Create log streams, (Missing) and put log events, which are typically granted by attaching the AWSLambdaBasicExecutionRole managed policy.

For Lambda functions to properly log to CloudWatch, they need three key permissions: logs:CreateLogGroup (already present) logs:CreateLogStream (missing) logs:PutLogEvents (already present)

Not C: It is about the function role policy, not the engineer role policy

While logs:CreateLogStream might be needed by the Lambda function itself to write logs initially, the prompt emphasizes viewing logs, which requires logs:GetLogEvents.

D. View Lambda logs on Lambda console, not same mean with: Lambda need to fetch logs from CW. That's only a AWS UI feature, a CW log frame in Lambda UI.

Action "logs:GetLogEvents" gets log events from log stream (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatchLogs/latest/APIReference/API_GetLogEvents.html), but there no log stream on first place! Correct answer is allowing the function to create log stream (through logs:CreateLogStream). D.

Seems poorly written to me.. The engineer is trying to view the logs. So they'll need "logs:GetLogEvents " permission. However the policy is also missing "logs:CreateLogStream" so they will also need that in order for the Lambda to "create a new log stream". Doubt something this bad will be on the exam
