Grafana dashboard: Cloudwatch Logs
Description: A simple Amazon Cloudwatch logs dashboard. It allow filtering by log groups, and quick searches of any terms to filter the log lines.

### Description
This Dashboard allow you to show Cloudwatch logs without giving access to Explore. This is useful when you want to restrict access to only a couple of logs groups to a bunch of users or teams. The viewer permission is enough, no need for them to be editors.

### Features : 
- Show stats of event lines
- Show number of events
- Filter logs by log group
- Search an word to filter the lines

### How to use
After you import this dashboard, you'll need to change the variable $log_group to suit your needs.
You can either uses a fixed number of groups, or use * to show them all.

Cheers
