Amazon CloudWatch announces lookup processor for log enrichment
News
Amazon CloudWatch now supports a lookup processor for enriching log events with additional context by matching fields against lookup tables within CloudWatch Pipelines.
- Upload CSV files containing reference data and match incoming log fields against this data
- Automatically tag logs with enriched metadata, such as mapping IP addresses to application teams
- Match log event fields against lookup table fields and add specified fields from matching rows
- Enable data enrichment scenarios like mapping user IDs to details or error codes to descriptions
- Enrich logs at ingestion time so queries, dashboards, and alarms immediately benefit from context
- Available in all AWS commercial regions supporting CloudWatch Pipelines
- Configure via AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, or AWS SDKs
The lookup processor eliminates the need for custom enrichment logic outside CloudWatch by providing native log enrichment capabilities.
