Is there a way, from within an AWS Lambda function, to get the log stream name?

Question

Is there a way to get the name of a Lambda’s log stream, as displayed in the “monitor” tab of the Lambda console, from within the function itself? I have millions of AWS Lambda functions running with Python, and I'd like to output each log stream’s name to our result file in order to find the logs more easily.

The log stream name looks like this:

YYYY/MM/DD/[$latest]45ea5df5ec5a4f15e1f5af8a5f12e8

The log stream name looks like this:

YYYY/MM/DD/[$latest]45ea5df5ec5a4f15e1f5af8a5f12e8

you can get the name of the logstream and the name of the loggroup from the context object: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/python-context.html
