AI-ASSISTED REPORTING · RETROSPECTIVE ARCHIVE

Retrospective edition: 2026-04-13. Source published: 2026-04-13. Added to this archive: 2026-11-03. This briefing was prepared later from the linked announcement; it was not published on this website on the historical edition date.

This feature allows the definition of up to 20 parameters per query, reducing duplication by enabling single templates to adapt dynamically to different values like log level, service name, or time range. Users execute parameterized queries by invoking the query name with specific argument values, improving query maintainability and efficiency.

Multiple parameterized saved queries can be combined for complex log analysis workflows without managing extensive query variations manually. The capability is globally available and supported across AWS CLI, SDKs, console, and Cloud Development Kit tools.
