Amazon CloudWatch Pipelines Adds GeoIP, RDS, and XML Processors
AWS, Wednesday, August 19th, 2026
CloudWatch pipelines gains three ingest-time processors: an RDS log parser, an XML parser and GeoIP enrichment.
Amazon CloudWatch pipelines added three new processors that parse and enrich log data as it is ingested: an Amazon RDS log parser, an XML parser and a GeoIP enrichment processor.
CloudWatch pipelines is a fully managed service that ingests, transforms and routes telemetry to CloudWatch without customers managing infrastructure.
AWS notes that log sources frequently produce data that is not immediately queryable without reprocessing: RDS Aurora logs arrive in their native engine format, application logs carry embedded XML, and IP addresses lack location context.
Each new processor addresses one of those cases at ingest time. The result is queryable, enriched telemetry without a separate transformation stage.
