# View, edit, or delete vended logs dashboards


## View vended logs dashboards in CloudWatch Logs or OpenSearch Service


To be able to view dashboards, you must be signed in to an IAM principal that has the **CloudWatchOpenSearchDashboardAccess** IAM policy.

**To view vended log dashboards**

1. Open the CloudWatch console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/).

1. In the left navigation pane, choose **Logs Insights** and then choose the **Analyze with OpenSearch** tab.

1. Choose the dashboard in the **OpenSearch dashboards** box.

1. (Optional) In the upper right, choose **View in OpenSearch**.

   The OpenSearch Service console opens and you see the same dashboard there. In the OpenSearch Service console, you can make changes to the dashboard and its widgets, and these changes will also be visible when you view the dashboard in CloudWatch Logs.

## Grant dashboard viewing access to additional IAM roles or IAM users


To grant access to additional IAM principals after you've created the integration, take the following steps.

## Delete all vended log dashboard integration with OpenSearch Service


You can delete your entire OpenSearch integration. If you do, all vended logs dashboards and the data that was displayed in them is deleted. 

**Important**  
To avoid ongoing costs, we strongly recommend that you manually delete the following resources before you delete the integration. Deleting the integration doesn't automatically delete these resources, and after you delete the integration you won't be able to access these resources to delete them. To find the names of the resources to delete, see the following procedure.
