HAQM CloudWatch Logs is enhancing security and visibility by adding support for AWS CloudTrail. You can now use AWS CloudTrail to track changes to your CloudWatch Logs resources such as your Log Groups, Log Streams, Metrics Filters, Subscription Filters, and Log Export Tasks. 

Additionally, all users of HAQM CloudWatch Logs will now receive HAQM CloudWatch Metrics that track the number and volume of log events per Log Group and per HAQM CloudWatch Logs Subscription. You can use these metrics to monitor the usage and health of your Log Groups and Log Subscriptions by inclusion on an HAQM CloudWatch Dashboard or by creating new CloudWatch Alarms on the metrics. 

To get started with AWS CloudTrail logging, please visit the AWS CloudTrail Console. For information about new HAQM CloudWatch Logs Metrics, see the HAQM CloudWatch Developer Guide. To use your new CloudWatch Logs metrics, please visit the HAQM CloudWatch Console and create a CloudWatch Dashboard or Alarm.
