Live Tailing for CloudWatch Logs #83200

Open lorrrrrrrenzo opened 9 months ago

lorrrrrrrenzo commented 9 months ago

Why is this needed: To improve the user experience of those using Grafana to consume CloudWatch Logs data, using existing features of both CloudWatch Logs and Grafana.

What would you like to be added: Enable live tailing for CloudWatch Logs. This feature is natively supported by the AWS API as of June 2023, and is already supported by the Go AWS SDK .

Who is this feature for? All users of the CloudWatch datasource in Grafana.

Hi @lorrrrrrrenzo thanks for submitting this! We currently don't have a timeline on this, but I'm adding it to our backlog

Thanks for the feedback @idastambuk! If I were to take on the work for this, would you prefer that I target Grafana version 10 or 11? If that is immaterial, that would be good to know as well.

Thanks!

@lorrrrrrrenzo thanks for your interest, but since this is a bigger issue that may involve design changes we'd rather handle it ourselves to avoid the possibility of a contributor doing a lot of work that doesn't get used. We have it in our backlog but no ETA as of yet.
