AWS – Amazon CloudWatch now supports scheduled queries in Logs Insights

Amazon CloudWatch Logs now supports automatically running Logs Insights queries on a recurring schedule for your log analysis needs. With scheduled queries, you can now automate log analysis tasks and deliver query results to Amazon S3 and Amazon EventBridge.

With today’s launch, you can track trends, monitor key operational metrics, and detect anomalies without needing to manually re-run queries or maintain custom automation. This feature makes it easier to maintain continuous visibility into your applications and infrastructure, streamline operational workflows, and ensure consistent insight generation at scale. For example, you can setup scheduled queries for your weekly audit reporting. The query results can also be stored in Amazon S3 for analysis, or trigger incident response workflows through Amazon EventBridge. The feature supports all CloudWatch Logs Insights query languages and helps teams improve operational efficiency by eliminating manual query executions.

Scheduled queries is available in US East (Ohio), US East (N. Virginia), US West (N. California), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Osaka), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland), Europe (London), Europe (Paris), Europe (Stockholm), and South America (São Paulo).

You can configure a scheduled query using the Amazon CloudWatch console, AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK), and AWS SDKs. For more information, visit the Amazon CloudWatch documentation.
