Amazon CloudWatch pipelines now supports configuration of processors via AI

Amazon CloudWatch pipelines now lets you configure log processors using natural language descriptions powered by generative AI. CloudWatch pipelines is a fully managed service that ingests, transforms, and routes log data to CloudWatch without requiring you to manage infrastructure. Setting up the right combination of processors to parse and enrich logs can be time-consuming, especially when working with complex log formats. With AI-assisted configuration, you can simply describe the processing you need in plain language and have the pipeline configuration generated for you automatically.

When creating a pipeline in the CloudWatch console, toggle the AI-assisted option during the processing step and enter a natural language description of your desired transformations. The system generates the processor configuration along with a sample log event, so you can immediately verify the output before deploying. This reduces setup time and makes it easier to get your pipelines running correctly without needing deep familiarity with individual processor settings.

AI-assisted processor configuration is available at no additional cost in all AWS Regions where CloudWatch pipelines is generally available. Standard CloudWatch Logs ingestion and storage rates still apply.

To get started, open the Amazon CloudWatch console, navigate to pipelines under Ingestion, and follow the pipeline wizard. To learn more, see the CloudWatch pipelines documentation.
