Generate a natural language summary from CloudWatch Logs Insights query results

Analyzing log data is crucial for understanding your applications' behavior, but interpreting large volumes of log entries can be time-consuming. CloudWatch Logs Insights now offers a natural language summarization capability that transforms complex query results into clear, concise summaries. This capability helps you quickly identify issues and gain actionable insights from your log data.

How it works

CloudWatch Logs Insights can generate a human-readable summary from your query results using Amazon Bedrock. The feature supports all CloudWatch Logs Insights query languages and provides clear, actionable insights from your log data.

Regional availability and data processing

The natural language summary feature is currently available in US East (N. Virginia).

Regional Processing Information
Supported CloudWatch Logs geography Possible Processing Region
United States (US) US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon)
Important

When you use this feature, your query results might be processed in a different Amazon Web Services Region within the same continent as your origin region. For example, if you run a query in US East (N. Virginia), the summarization might occur in US West (Oregon), but your data remains within North America.

Getting started

To generate a natural language summary

  1. Run your CloudWatch Logs Insights query.

  2. After the query completes, select Summarize results.

Permissions

You must have one of the following:

  • CloudWatchLogsFullAccess permission

  • CloudWatchLogsReadOnlyAccess permission

  • Custom IAM policy including the cloudwatch:GenerateQueryResultsSummary, logs:GetQueryResults, logs:DescribeQueries and logs:FilterLogEvents actions

Data privacy

Your query results are processed securely and aren't used to train or improve CloudWatch Logs Insights or Amazon Bedrock. If you choose to provide feedback on the query results summary using the feedback buttons, your feedback indicates your level of satisfaction with the capability provided in CloudWatch Logs Insights.
