Edit a log transformer - Amazon CloudWatch Logs

Edit a log transformer

Use these steps to edit an existing log transformer.

To edit a log transformer
  1. Open the CloudWatch console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/.

  2. In the navigation pane, choose Logs, Log groups.

  3. Choose the log group that has the transformer that you want to edit.

  4. Choose the Transformations tab. You might have to scroll the tab list to the right to see it.

  5. Choose Manage transformer.

  6. In the Parsers and Processors sections, make your changes.

  7. To add another processor, choose + Add Processor. Then select the processor that you want in the Processor box, and fill in the configuration parameters. For information about the configuration parameters, see the section for that processor in Processors that you can use.

    Remember that processors operate on the log events in the order that you add them to the transformer.

  8. (Optional) At any time, you can test the transformer that you have built so far on a sample log event. To do so, do the following:

    1. In the Transformation Preview section, either choose Load Sample Log to load a sample log event from the log group that this transformer is for, or paste a log event into the text box.

      Choose Test Transformation. The transformed version of the log appears

  9. When you are finished adding processors and satisfied with the tests on sample logs, choose Save.
