Amazon CloudWatch Logs Insights launches Query Results Summarization and OpenSearch PPL enhancements

Amazon CloudWatch Logs Insights launches Query Results Summarization and OpenSearch PPL enhancements to help accelerate your logs analysis.

The new logs summarizer generates a natural language summary of the query results, providing users with clear, actionable insights. Interpreting log entries can be time-consuming and this natural language summarization capability transforms complex query results into clear, concise summaries that help you quickly identify issues and gain actionable insights from your log data.

With CloudWatch Logs Insights, you can interactively search and analyze your logs with Logs Insights query language, OpenSearch Service Piped Processing Language (PPL), and OpenSearch Service Structured Query Language (SQL). Customers using OpenSearch PPL can now analyze their logs more efficiently with new PPL commands and functions such as JOIN, SubQuery, Fillnull, Expand, Flatten, Cidrmatch and JSON functions. These new capabilities help accelerate your troubleshooting. For example, you can use subqueries to find those services which have more than 20 errors in the last day using an inner query, and then use the results of the inner query to get the average response times of those services from a different log group.

The logs summarizer is available in the US East (N. Virginia) region. OpenSearch PPL query enhancements are available in regions where OpenSearch Service direct query is available.
