Research direction

Start by reviewing the AWS Lambda Java logging example linked in the issue and the related issue #226 to clarify the desired structured fields and scope. Then inspect the plugin's existing logging entry point; done should mean logs are delivered to CloudWatch in a useful JSON format, with an approach that other language plugins could adopt.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

It would be very nice to have the logs published to CloudWatch in JSON format (for example, such as: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/java-logging.html). Otherwise, it is very hard to sort through them.

This is somewhat related to #226.

If we find a nice way of logging which brings the most (useful) information as possible, other language plugins can adopt it.
