AWS HealthOmics now streams workflow engine logs to Amazon CloudWatch in real time

AWS HealthOmics

AWS HealthOmics now streams workflow engine logs to Amazon CloudWatch in real time, enabling customers to monitor workflow execution progress as it happens. This HIPAA-eligible service helps healthcare and life sciences customers accelerate scientific breakthroughs with fully managed bioinformatics workflows.

Real-time engine log streaming accelerates iterative workflow development and debugging by providing immediate access to execution details during a run. The streamed engine logs include visibility into workflow orchestration events, task scheduling details, import/export activity, and full stack traces on errors. Customers can set up CloudWatch alarms on log patterns to detect anomalies early, build dashboards for ongoing monitoring, and integrate with existing observability tooling.

Real-time engine log streaming is available for Nextflow, WDL, and CWL workflow runs in all AWS HealthOmics regions: US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland, London), Israel (Tel Aviv), and Asia Pacific (Singapore, Seoul). To learn more, visit the Monitoring HealthOmics with CloudWatch Logs documentation.
