Amazon CloudSearch is a managed service in the AWS Cloud that makes it simple and cost-effective to set up, manage, and scale a search solution.

Enable this integration to see in Datadog all your CloudSearch metrics.

Configure Amazon CloudSearch to send logs either to a S3 bucket or to CloudWatch.
