Support Entity attributes in CloudWatch Logs sink #6860
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
There is no way to attach Entity metadata to PutLogEvents requests in the CloudWatch Logs sink. This is needed for CloudWatch entity-based correlation features.
Describe the solution you'd like
An entity config block with key_attributes and attributes (both free-form Map<String, String>). When configured, the entity is attached to every PutLogEvents
request.
sink:
- cloudwatch_logs:
log_group: /my/service/logs
log_stream: my-stream
entity:
key_attributes:
Type: "RemoteService"
Name: "okta_auth0"
attributes:
AWS.ServiceNameSource: "UserConfiguration"Additional context
Entity rejection by CloudWatch is non-fatal and should be logged as a warning.

@bagmarnikhil ,
Is there a reason you don't use YAML maps for both? I see you use this for
attributes, but it appears that you use a different form forkey_attributes.bagmarnikhil commentedon May 19, 2026
Both key_attributes and attributes are YAML maps
Map<String, String>— they use the same form in the config. The only difference is that key_attributes is required@NotEmptysince CloudWatch needs at least one key attribute for entity identification, while attributes is optional and defaults to an empty map.Happy to clarify further if I'm misunderstanding the question!

@bagmarnikhil , This looks good. I may have misread it.
