Here is how you can do for your use case:

1. Have connectivity between cloudwatch and Athena first. Use cloudwatch connector for Athena, here is the [Amazon Athena CloudWatch connector documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/athena/latest/ug/connectors-cloudwatch.html), [How to deploy source connector](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/athena/latest/ug/connect-to-a-data-source-lambda.html).

2. Once cloudwatch-Athena connectivity would be established, create the data set in quicksight using Amazon Athena. [Creating a dataset using Amazon Athena data](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/quicksight/latest/user/create-a-data-set-athena.html)

Other route:

Cloudwatch logs -> S3 -> Athena -> Quicksight. (Cloudwatch logs to s3 can be done manually/CLI or Kinesis Firehose)

Hope you find this useful.
