Hello,  
My use case is to import Cloudwatch logs from AWS on to Elasticsearch Cluster. I do not have AWS provided Elasticsearch as Service.  
The following only seem to work for cloudwatch metrics.

> **[logstash-plugins/logstash-input-cloudwatch](https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-input-cloudwatch)**
>
> logstash-input-cloudwatch - A Logstash input to pull events from the Amazon Web Services CloudWatch API

Do we have any other plugins that are readily available ?  
Thanks

I have researched. But I do not think there is any plugin available. Should I explore cloudwatch logs -\> lambda -\> logstash -\> elasticsearch ?
