Microsoft Sentinel has recently made its AWS S3 data connector generally available (GA), offering users the capability to ingest logs from various AWS services such as CloudTrail, CloudWatch, VPCFlow Logs, and CloudWatch into Microsoft Sentinel using an S3 bucket and AWS's simple message queuing service.

AWS CloudWatch is a powerful monitoring and observability service offered by Amazon Web Services (AWS) that plays a crucial role in managing the health, performance, and security of AWS resources and applications. Ingesting AWS CloudWatch logs to Microsoft Sentinel is crucial for enhancing the security posture of an organization's cloud infrastructure.
In this blog post, we'll explore the advantages offered by an AWS Lambda function designed to enhance the ingestion of AWS CloudWatch logs into Microsoft Sentinel.
To streamline this process, we are offering an AWS Lambda function capable of accessing all AWS accounts to reformat CloudWatch events and seamlessly export them to an AWS S3 bucket, ready to be ingested by Sentinel's AWS S3 Data connector.
Key benefits:
By implementing the AWS Lambda function for exporting AWS CloudWatch logs enable users to seamlessly align their log management strategy with Microsoft Sentinel. Leveraging Microsoft Sentinel's robust support for Multi Cloud providers, along with a versatile and well-structured log export solution, empowers organizations to maintain a competitive edge in the rapidly evolving landscape of cloud computing.
