how to log inside of response template?

Question

I have a pipeline response template and inside the "After Mapping" section I want to output to cloud watch a parameters value so I can debug what is going on with the resolver. I am basically looking for a vtl version of console.log()

Answer

I found a sloppy way of doing it via  
  
$util.validate(false, $record.entity )

This will generate an error in graphql, but it can show what the value was of a variable.

Answer

You can also just stash the value and it will show up in the logs, depending on your settings.

```
$util.qr($ctx.stash.put("debugthis", $record.entity))
```

Also note that your log level in AppSync must be set to ALL if you want to see this output.
