Hello Team,

I'm trying to pull Logs from AWS Cloudwatch. As you know Logstash input-cloudwatch plugin won't support to pull the logs.  
So I need to go with Community Developed Cloudwatch Plugin which pulls the Cloudwatch Logs.

**Is it wise to use Community Developed Plugin in Production Environment?**

Please Suggest

Thanks for your time as always 🙂

@Christian_Dahlqvist please help

That's up to you to judge. Does the plugin appear to be of reasonable quality? If something breaks, will you be able to fix it yourself?
