Step-by-step explanation:

Amazon CloudWatch Logs Insights is a fully managed AWS service that makes it easy to analyze, explore, and visualize your log data. The pricing for CloudWatch Logs Insights is based on the amount of data scanned by your queries, not how much log data is ingested or stored.
