Customers use Amazon CloudWatch Logs subscriptions to deliver log events using Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose to Amazon S3 and Splunk for troubleshooting and monitoring use cases. CloudWatch Logs are delivered as gzip-compressed objects and with the support of decompression for Cloudwatch Logs in Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose, customers can now automatically deliver decompressed logs.
