Grafana was not really built to view logs from the get go.

They however introduced this feature in v6.0 via the Explore tab

This can be leveraged in 2 ways.

Via Elasticsearch data source (in v6.3+)

Check the Elasticsearch docs for more.

If you want, you can still integrate this with Cloudwatch. Check out the log subscirber-consumer solution & this

Via Loki & AWS Lambda

If you want to stick to Cloudwatch as your primary source of logs, you can create a Lambda function that ships them to Loki which in tern can be used in Grafana as a data source. See 1, 2 & 3
