CloudWatch Logs is a powerful AWS service for collecting, monitoring, and analyzing log data in real-time. In a streaming ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) workflow, it acts as both a data source and a monitoring tool, enabling seamless integration of log data into pipelines. By leveraging CloudWatch Logs, organizations can gain actionable insights and maintain continuous data flow to support real-time analytics and system optimization.

• Log Data Ingestion: Stream application, system, and infrastructure logs directly into ETL pipelines for real-time processing.

• Error Detection: Identify and extract error logs dynamically to trigger alerts or apply corrective transformations.
• Data Parsing and Transformation: Use log patterns to filter, parse, and enrich data before loading it into analytics or storage systems.
• Real-Time Monitoring: Analyze logs in real-time to track system performance, application health, or unusual activity.
