CloudWatch pipelines, which ingest and transform telemetry data, gained an Amazon RDS log parser to structure Aurora audit and error logs, an XML parser to translate embedded XML into JSON, and a GeoIP enrichment processor that assigns geographic metadata to IP addresses. These enhancements facilitate downstream analysis and visualization by converting raw logs into actionable formats.
The processors can be used independently or combined, addressing common challenges such as compliance reporting for RDS, security insights from Windows Event Logs, and geolocation for IP-related events. Available at no additional cost in all regions where CloudWatch pipelines operate, they can be configured via AWS Console, CLI, or SDK.
