Amazon CloudWatch introduces Log Analytics for unified log analysis

Amazon CloudWatch now offers Log Analytics, a unified console experience that brings together CloudWatch Logs Insights for querying and analyzing log data, Live Tail for real-time log streaming, and Contributor Insights for identifying top contributors - all in one place. With this launch, customers can execute multiple queries in different tabs and use all existing Logs Insights features such as patterns, saved queries with parameters, facets for interactive log exploration, natural language query generation, and visualizations. Live Tail and Contributor Insights are also accessible from within Log Analytics, which is the default experience. Customers who opt out will see Logs Insights, Live Tail, and Contributor Insights alongside Log Analytics. Log Analytics is available in all commercial AWS Regions. Log Analytics uses the same pricing as its underlying capabilities - Logs Insights queries, Live Tail, and Contributor Insights. For pricing details, see [CloudWatch pricing](https://aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/pricing/). To get started, select Log Analytics in the CloudWatch console.
