Happy New Year,

So quick question, currently I'm pushing out AWS Cloudwatch logs to an index in my ES cluster - these logs have index pattern of cwl-\*

I noticed in the new version of Kibana there's a "Logs" section but when I try and setup all the instructions point to Filebeat installations - my applications are serverless.

How do I get cloudwatch logs to appear in Logs/Live log tailing?

Thanks

Marc

You might want to try out [https://www.elastic.co/products/beats/functionbeat](https://www.elastic.co/products/beats/functionbeat) to take your cloudwatch logs.
