hi there! 1 ) i would like to pull the logs with specific date range or specific log from aws cloudwatch logs. for eg: i have 1-20 days logs. but i want to pull 3-9 days logs via logstash server. is that possible? 2 ) i would like to pull the logs with former count from aws cloudwatch logs. for eg: i have 70,000 log events at aws cloudwatch logs. but i want to pull former 15,000 log events only via logstash server. is that possible? ---
