In this blog, we will configure a CloudWatch Log Group to receive chat history from Quick Chat Agents based on Quick User or Agent ID.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.10+
  • AWS CLI
  • Quick Account/User
  • Ensure your IAM user/role has the permission:
    • quicksight:AllowVendedLogDeliveryForResource on resource:
    • arn:aws:quicksight:us-east-1:account_id:account/account_id

Example

My Quick resource ARN:

arn:aws:quicksight:us-east-1:123412341234:account/123412341234

  1. Create Delivery Source

Go to Cloud Watch service and click on Log Management on 'Logs" section and create a log group name "nghi-danh-test-quick-history-chat"

Cloud Watch Dashboard
