awscloudwatch: profile: 'default' region: us-east-1 logs: poll_interval: 5m groups: named: cw-loggroup-1:

@Prashant Shahi he mentioned that he is able to describe log group and log streams from the instace where it is running the collector, do you think any other access might be required ? Also @Anil do you notice something in the otel collector logs about the cloudwatch receiver ?

I don’t see any logs related to cloud watch receiver

did you add the receiver in the logs pipelines of your config ?

Yes I did

When I was testing, this is the IAM that I used

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Sid": "VisualEditor0",
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "logs:DescribeLogGroups",
        "logs:FilterLogEvents"
      ],
      "Resource": "arn:aws:logs:*:090340947446:log-group:*"
    }
  ]
}

receiver :-

awscloudwatch:
    region: us-east-1
    logs:
      poll_interval: 1m
      groups:
        autodiscover:
          limit: 100
          prefix: application

In my case I have log:* for all log groups

Before that can you restart the collector and check the logs, it should say something about starting the cloudwatch receiver

I have restarted multiple times but no clue on cloud watch receiver

ok can do a short huddle

Great

ok
