The Centralized Logging solution enables organizations to collect, analyse, and display CloudWatch Logs in a single dashboard.
AWS services generate log data, such as audit logs for access, configuration changes, and billing events.
In addition to AWS log data; web servers, applications, and operating systems all generate log files in various formats.
The Centralized Logging solution contains the following components: log ingestion, log indexing, and visualization.
Log ingestion: CloudWatch Logs destinations deploy in the primary account and are created with the required permissions in each of the selected Regions.
Log indexing: A centralized Kinesis Data Streams and Kinesis Data Firehose are provisioned to index log events on the centralized Elasticsearch Service (ES) domain.
Visualization: ES and Kibana provide data visualization and exploration support.
