Amazon CloudWatch Logs enriches log events with AWS resource tags

Amazon CloudWatch Logs now enriches log events with resource tags, making it easier to filter, search, and analyze logs by the metadata that matters most to your organization, such as team ownership, environment, cost center, or application name, without requiring changes to your logging instrumentation.

With tag enrichment, Amazon CloudWatch Logs adds resource tags directly to your log events at ingestion time. You can immediately use tags in log queries, to scope your analysis without building custom pipelines or manually adding context to your application logs. For example, you can quickly filter all logs from production resources owned by a specific team, or filter by cost center during an incident investigation.

Tag enrichment for logs is available in all commercial AWS Regions except Middle East (UAE), Middle East (Bahrain), and Israel (Tel Aviv). To get started, enable resource tags on telemetry in the Amazon CloudWatch Settings, or through the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), and AWS SDKs to use your existing AWS resource tags to enrich your log events. Tag enrichment is available for no additional cost. Learn more on the Amazon CloudWatch documentation page.
