Connecting alteryx to aws cloud watch logs

[AbdulBalogun]

Is there a way to somehow connect Alteryx to aws and access watch log data? I'm trying to build a flow that leverages AWS watch logs but not sure how that would work or if that's even possible.

How do you authenticate to AWS? ie - are you already authenticated to your AWS via cli? If so you can run startquery and getquery.

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/logs/start-query.html

if not - it's probably easiest to back these up to an s3 and then query via athena.

to be clear - this involves a solid amount of AWS and Alteryx know how. You can't just drop a connect in-db, run a query and be done.
