Onboard CloudWatch Logs Insights for AWS Cloud WAN

Before viewing events on the Events dashboard, you must complete a one-time setup that registers your events with CloudWatch Logs Insights. Until you register your events, you'll be unable to view any of your events on the dashboard.

To onboard CloudWatch Logs Insights

Before you begin, verify that an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) principal (user) in your account has the appropriate permissions to onboard to CloudWatch Logs Insights. Ensure that the IAM policy contains the following permissions.

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "events:PutTargets",
                "events:DescribeRule",
                "logs:PutResourcePolicy",
                "logs:DescribeLogGroups",
                "logs:DescribeResourcePolicies",
                "events:PutRule",
                "logs:CreateLogGroup"
            ],
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
