Hi Team,

We have AWS cloud watch which has 3+ years of logs stored in it. I would like to collect the logs from AWS cloud watch and publish it to elastic search only for the last two weeks data since we really dont analyse the historical entries. Could you please let me know how do we really achieve it?

Thanks,  
Rajesh
