Amazon CloudWatch Logs Insights supports querying by log group tags

Amazon CloudWatch Logs Insights query language now supports querying log groups using tags, making it easier to analyze logs without listing the log groups explicitly. In addition to querying logs by log group names, data sources, and facets, customers can now query using log group tags.

Tags are key-value pairs that customers can assign to log groups to categorize them — for example, Environment: Production, Application: PaymentService, or Owner: TeamName. With this launch, customers can run a query across all log groups that share common tags. As log group tags are added or removed, queries automatically reflect the matching log groups, reducing operational overhead as environments grow.

Querying by log group tags is available today in all commercial AWS Regions. To learn more, see the Amazon CloudWatch Logs documentation.
