AWS CloudWatch Logs Calculator

AWS CloudWatch Logs Calculator MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Deterministic tool for estimating AWS CloudWatch Logs ingestion, storage, and service limits.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides precise calculations for AWS CloudWatch Logs planning. Use calculate_ingestion_and_storage to determine throughput and storage footprint, calculate_service_limits to check filter and indexing capacities, calculate_event_and_batch_specs for log entry constraints, and calculate_query_capacity to estimate query availability.

4 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

calculate_event_and_batch_specs

Determines the constraints on individual log entries and how they are grouped for transport

calculate_ingestion_and_storage

Determines the primary data throughput and total storage footprint

calculate_query_capacity

Estimates the availability of query resources for monitoring and analysis

calculate_service_limits

Evaluates the capacity for filters and indexing based on the log group count

Calculate the storage and ingestion rate for 500 GB of logs per day with 30 days of retention.

The daily ingestion rate is 5,787,084,480 bytes per second, and the total storage required for 30 days is 15,000 GB.

What are the service limits if I have 5 log groups?

With 5 log groups, you have a total limit of 100 metric filters for the account, 10 metric filters per log group, and 1 subscription filter per log group.

Check the batching constraints for a 1 MB log event.

For a 1 MB event, the max encoded size is 1,280 KB, and the batch will be triggered by reaching 1 MB or 10,000 events.

You can use the `calculate_ingestion_and_storage` tool by providing your daily log volume in GB and the number of days you plan to retain them.
