CloudWatch Logs Storage
Every CloudWatch Log Group with volume, retention, last event and monthly storage cost.
Live preview — demo data
What this pane shows
All CloudWatch Log Groups in the account with their stored bytes, retention setting (or "Never expire" if unset), monthly storage cost at $0.03/GB, and the timestamp of the most recent event. A horizontal bar chart shows the top consumers by volume; log groups with no retention policy (a cost leak) are surfaced.
Key use cases
- Find log groups quietly costing thousands per month on "Never expire".
- Identify the noisiest log producers before adding a log filter or sampling.
- Audit retention compliance across production log groups.
- Plan a lifecycle policy roll-out with concrete dollar savings per change.
How to embed
lp.js is the single-entry loader: it injects the shared LightPane runtime
(and sd-embed.css) once per page. Add this pane's own stylesheet and script;
the pane mounts itself wherever the matching <div> is in the DOM.
<!-- In <head> — this pane's stylesheet -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://lightpane.io/_pane-tests/aws/cw-logs/cw-logs.css">
<!-- Your access key (inline, or set window.lpEmbed.accessKey from your own JS) -->
<script>window.lpEmbed = { accessKey: "<your-access-key>" };</script>
<!-- Where the pane should appear -->
<div class="lp-cw-logs-panel" data-lp-account="<your-account-alias>"></div>
<!-- Before </body> — shared loader + this pane's script -->
<script src="https://lightpane.io/embed/lp.js"></script>
<script src="https://lightpane.io/_pane-tests/aws/cw-logs/cw-logs.js" defer></script>
