Background

CloudWatch introduced a new feature called Explored Related which is a UI component that helps user navigate between their telemetry(metrics,logs) and AWS resources. This is done by including a new field in PutLogEvents API which is called Entity. More documentation about this new field can be found here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatchLogs/latest/APIReference/API_Entity.html

Problem

CloudWatch output plugin is what sends user logs to the backend. It needs to populate the entity field in the PutLogEvents field. As part of this effort, we need to add additional logics in CloudWatch plugin to attach appropriate entity data then make the correct PutLogEvents call.
