Why not cloudwatch?

I'm using cloudwatch for different system/app metric alarms now. Didn't know it can also be used for centralised logging. Any useful link/writeup you like to share?

I would go with the official documentation
docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWat...

You basically watch file and send them into streams

As good as it is for central logging, I still find the UI and search functionalities really poor compared to the other solutions you mentioned
