AWS HealthOmics now streams workflow engine logs to Amazon CloudWatch in real time
AWS HealthOmics now streams workflow engine logs to Amazon CloudWatch in real time, enabling customers to monitor workflow execution progress as it happens. AWS HealthOmics is a HIPAA-eligible service that helps healthcare and life sciences customers accelerate scientific breakthroughs at scale with fully managed bioinformatics workflows.
Real-time engine log streaming accelerates iterative workflow development and debugging by giving researchers, bioinformaticians, and workflow developers immediate access to execution details during a run. The streamed engine logs provide visibility into workflow orchestration events, task scheduling details, import/export activity, and full stack traces on errors — all routed into the engine log stream in real time. Customers can set up CloudWatch alarms on log patterns to detect anomalies early, build dashboards for ongoing monitoring, and integrate with existing observability tooling.
Real-time engine log streaming is now available for Nextflow, WDL, and CWL workflow runs in all AWS HealthOmics regions: US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland, London), Israel (Tel Aviv), and Asia Pacific (Singapore, Seoul).
