Cost for Exporting CloudWatch Logs to Splunk

[09jvilla]

I'm trying to figure out some rough costs for my setup before moving forward. 

I'd like to export logs from CloudWatch into Splunk Cloud, and came across this post:
https://www.splunk.com/en_us/blog/tips-and-tricks/how-to-easily-stream-aws-cloudwatch-logs-to-splunk...

What I wanted to know is that when I'm "streaming" logs to Splunk Cloud from CloudWatch, do I still end up having to pay CloudWatch for the volume of logs ingested? Or is there a way to stream to Splunk Cloud and bypass the need to store/ingest in the CloudWatch backend so that I only have to pay the cost for logs ingested in Splunk Cloud?

Hi
Shortly, you must pay both.
