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
