Hi @latapankaj ,
Hmmm, we may not have a step by step guide for cloudwatch but we do have several code samples on how to use it with the c++ SDK, and you can find them here.
So yea, I don't think I can help you build your specific project unless you have more specific questions, but hope these samples help you to at least get started.

I am doing login as a first step . I am using that code to login into account but not getting how to get response back that I login into the account or not ?
`

int main()
{
Aws::SDKOptions options;
Aws::InitAPI(options); options.loggingOptions.logLevel = Aws::Utils::Logging::LogLevel::Info;
Aws::InitAPI(options);
Aws::Client::ClientConfiguration configuration;
configuration.region = Aws::Region::US_EAST_2;
Aws::Auth::AWSCredentials creds(AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY);
Aws::ShutdownAPI(options);
return 0;
}
`

that code will only do the setup, there is no concept of "login" but to establish a connection you need to create a client, and have it make a request, then you can get a success or failure response.

Here, I've written a quick sample code on adding a log event to cloudwatch. Hope it helps.

#include <aws/core/Aws.h>
#include <aws/logs/CloudWatchLogsClient.h>
#include <aws/logs/model/PutLogEventsRequest.h>

using namespace Aws;
using namespace Aws::Http;
using namespace Aws::Client;
using namespace Aws::CloudWatchLogs;
using namespace Aws::CloudWatchLogs::Model;

int main(){
    Aws::SDKOptions options;
    options.loggingOptions.logLevel = Aws::Utils::Logging::LogLevel::Trace;
    Aws::InitAPI(options);
    ClientConfiguration config;
    config.region = Aws::Region::US_EAST_2;
    auto m_client = Aws::MakeUnique<Aws::CloudWatchLogs::CloudWatchLogsClient>("cloudwatch Client", config);
    PutLogEventsRequest putRequest;
    putRequest.WithLogGroupName("someGroupName")
                       .WithLogStreamName("someLogStreamName");
     InputLogEvent e1;
     e1.WithTimestamp(Aws::Utils::DateTime::Now().Millis()).WithMessage("Test Message 1");
     InputLogEvent e2;
     e2.WithTimestamp(Aws::Utils::DateTime::Now().Millis()).WithMessage("Test Message 2");

     putRequest.AddLogEvents(e1).AddLogEvents(e2);
     putRequest.WithSequenceToken("fake");
     auto putOutcome = m_client->PutLogEvents(putRequest);
     if(!putOutcome.IsSuccess()){
         std::cout<< "error on the putOutcome: "<<std::endl;
         std::cout<< putOutcome.GetError().GetMessage()<< std::endl;
    }else{
         std::cout<< "success"<<std::endl;
    }
    Aws::ShutdownAPI(options);

Hi @KaibaLopez
I have tried the code and it is working fine .only the thing i have found that fr a single entry it will take min 15 seconds to log the data into cloud watch .Suggest if can modify this to take minimum time.
Thanks!!
