What happened?

Hi,

It seems AWS CloudWatch input documentation misses mention that only "Standard" log class is supported.
Some time ago AWS announced support for"Infrequent Access" logs class, but it's pretty limited.

According to current documentation it's possible to figure it out that it won't work:

filterLogEvents AWS API is used to list log events from the specified log group.

AWS docs mention that GetLogEvents and FilterLogEvents API operations supported by "Standard" log class only, but I think it could be better to state clearly that "Infrequent Access/INFREQUENT_ACCESS" logs group won't work.
