The AWS CloudWatch service should only be a small part of the cloud bill. For the log collection, AWS announced a new log class (Infrequent Access) that is cheaper by 50% than the current log class (standard).
There are two log collection types, and we need to identify them to calculate the costs and savings:

1. Standard log: All log types. Fixed costs.
2. Vended log: Specific AWS service logs natively published by AWS services on behalf of the customer and available at volume discount pricing. Costs based on usage.

1. Identify all the log groups where the log class is ‘standard’.

• Service = AmazonCloudWatch.
• Operation = PutLogEvents.
• Item Description LIKE ‘Standard log class.

2. Categorize log group collection into two groups based on their pricing.
3. Changing the log class requiers deletion and recreation.

1. Days To Check, default 30 days.
2. Min Potential Saving %, default 5%.
3. Min Potential Saving Cost, default $50.
