Amazon CloudWatch launches natural language query generation for OpenSearch PPL and SQL

Amazon CloudWatch launches natural language query generation powered by generative AI for OpenSearch PPL and SQL query languages in CloudWatch Logs Insights, accelerating logs analysis.

CloudWatch Logs Insights enables you to interactively search and analyze your logs with Logs Insights query language, OpenSearch Service Piped Processing Language (PPL), and OpenSearch Service Structured Query Language (SQL).

Customers using OpenSearch PPL and OpenSearch SQL can now use plain English to quickly generate queries in the context of their logs without needing extensive knowledge of the query language, reducing time to gather insights. For example, you can ask in plain English “Give me the number of errors and exceptions per hour” or “What are the top 100 source IP addresses by bytes transferred” and the queries will be automatically generated in OpenSearch PPL or SQL, depending on the language selected.

The query generator is available in US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Hong Kong), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland), and Europe (Stockholm). To learn more, view documentation.
