Collecting AWS cloudwatch logs

[jaslkaur29]

I am trying to use the awscloudwatch receiver and print them to console for now, this is the config that I am using. I am running it a Kubernetes pod. I am able to see that OTEL is connected to the log group but unable to print logs from all the streams. How should I proceed further?

receivers:
awscloudwatch:
logs:
groups:
autodiscover:
limit: 10
prefix: /aws/events/networkmanagerloggroup
poll_interval: 10s
region: us-west-2
pipelines:
logs:
receivers:
- awscloudwatch
exporters:
- debug

This is the log that I am receiving from my pod

hi @jaslkaur29! I'd recommend asking in the collector contrib repo: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/blob/main/receiver/awscloudwatchreceiver/README.md
