Amazon CloudWatch Logs now supports expanded analytics and data protection capabilities for the Infrequent Access (Logs IA) ingestion class, including support for data protection, OpenSearch’s Piped Processing Language (PPL) and OpenSearch SQL. These enhancements make it easier for customers to perform flexible analytics and protect sensitive data while cost-effectively consolidating all your logs natively on AWS, making Logs IA ideal for ad-hoc troubleshooting and forensic analysis on infrequently accessed logs.
Logs IA is a cost-effective ingestion class for consolidating logs that are queried occasionally, such as forensic investigations. Logs IA currently offers log analytics with Logs Insights Query Language, export to S3, and encryption with a lower ingestion price per GB compared to the Standard log class. With today’s launch, customers can now use OpenSearch SQL and OpenSearch PPL queries to perform advanced analytics. In addition, data protection allows customers to automatically detect and mask sensitive information in logs, helping organizations meet security and compliance requirements.
