The AWS CloudWatch Log Anomaly Scanner skill uses the CloudWatch Logs Insights API (StartQuery/GetQueryResults) to run analytical queries across multiple log groups simultaneously. It constructs dynamic Insights queries that aggregate error frequencies, parse structured JSON log fields, and compute percentile latency distributions. The skill leverages the CloudWatch Anomaly Detection API to establish baseline patterns for error rates and log volumes, then flags deviations exceeding configurable sigma thresholds. Cross-log-group correlation identifies cascading failures by matching request IDs and trace headers across Lambda, ECS, and API Gateway log groups. The skill integrates with the X-Ray API (GetTraceSummaries) to correlate log anomalies with distributed trace data. Export functionality uses the CreateExportTask API to archive anomalous log windows to S3 for forensic analysis. Alert rules can be generated as CloudWatch Metric Filter definitions with proper namespace and dimension configurations.
