Hello there

How do i make sure that logstash received data from aws cloudwatch logs?

this is my input config:

> input {  
> cloudwatch\_logs {   
> log\_group =\> ["LOGGRP001"]   
> access\_key\_id =\> "ABCDDEEDDDD"  
> secret\_access\_key =\> "lesGTGsaf124124pqwrhwfsadfj2REWF"  
> region =\> "ap-southeast-1"   
> start\_position=\> end   
> }  
> }

How can i verify that cloudwatch\_logs is sending all the logs from the mounted folder to logstash? Is there any logs? Because some logs not found in kibana.
