Though this got answered already, Just wanted to add my experience which might be useful for others.

Even the permissions are set appropriately so that lambda can log in cloudwatch, sometimes it is taking 3-4 hrs to reflect the log groups.

Also make sure that you are seacrching the logs in the same region where your function is created.
