Hi everyone,
**[Background]:**
I'm a coop student trying to learn all ELK Stack components. I've been struggling with Logstash input plugin recently. I've spent about two days trying to find a way to directly get cloudwatch logs from AWS, but I haven't found anything yet. The only successful way so far has been reading the logs to a file and then reading the file using Logstash, but not directly from AWS.
**[Question]:**
Do you guys know if it is possible to directly import cloudwatch logs from AWS to Logstash input plugin? How about through Filebeat?
I have also read a lot of Elastic documentation, but their information are broad, and doesn't cover my specific question. I appreciate any clarification, Thanks!
