You'll go broke doing that, as those API calls are not free. Best to configure cloudwatch to dump into some sane place (S3, SigNoz, whatever) so you only pay the api call once and not every time for interactive viewing

I went spelunking around in the codebase trying to get the actual answer to your question and it seems it's like many things: theoretically yes with enough energy expended but by default it seems to be ssh-ing into the target hosts and running a pseudo agent over its own protocol back through ssh. So, "no"

Seconded - it sounds like compatibility isn't there yet with AWS, but it would be great if there was a way to use nerdlog with other OSS dashboard tools like Signoz or Coroot like you mentioned. Still a really interesting graylog altnerative.
