AWS HealthOmics streams workflow logs to CloudWatch in real time
AWS HealthOmics now streams workflow engine logs to Amazon CloudWatch in real time, allowing for immediate monitoring of workflow execution. This feature accelerates development and debugging for researchers and bioinformaticians by providing instant access to execution details. The streamed logs include orchestration events, task scheduling, import/export activity, and error stack traces, which can be used for alarms, dashboards, and integration with existing observability tools. This capability is now available for Nextflow, WDL, and CWL workflows in all HealthOmics regions.
