AWS SDK for PHP 3.x

Client: Aws\CloudWatchLogs\CloudWatchLogsClient

Service ID: logs

Version: 2014-03-28

This page describes the parameters and results for the operations of the Amazon CloudWatch Logs (2014-03-28), and shows how to use the Aws\CloudWatchLogs\CloudWatchLogsClient object to call the described operations. This documentation is specific to the 2014-03-28 API version of the service.

Operation Summary

Each of the following operations can be created from a client using $client->getCommand('CommandName'), where "CommandName" is the name of one of the following operations. Note: a command is a value that encapsulates an operation and the parameters used to create an HTTP request.

You can also create and send a command immediately using the magic methods available on a client object: $client->commandName(/* parameters */). You can send the command asynchronously (returning a promise) by appending the word "Async" to the operation name: $client->commandNameAsync(/* parameters */).

Operations

AssociateKmsKey

$result = $client->associateKmsKey([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->associateKmsKeyAsync([/* ... */]);

Associates the specified AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) customer master key (CMK) with the specified log group.

Associating an AWS KMS CMK with a log group overrides any existing associations between the log group and a CMK. After a CMK is associated with a log group, all newly ingested data for the log group is encrypted using the CMK. This association is stored as long as the data encrypted with the CMK is still within Amazon CloudWatch Logs. This enables Amazon CloudWatch Logs to decrypt this data whenever it is requested.

CloudWatch Logs supports only symmetric CMKs. Do not use an associate an asymmetric CMK with your log group. For more information, see Using Symmetric and Asymmetric Keys.

It can take up to 5 minutes for this operation to take effect.

If you attempt to associate a CMK with a log group but the CMK does not exist or the CMK is disabled, you receive an InvalidParameterException error.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->associateKmsKey([
    'kmsKeyId' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
    'logGroupName' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
]);

Parameter Details

Members

kmsKeyId

Required: Yes
Type: string

CreateExportTask

$result = $client->createExportTask([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->createExportTaskAsync([/* ... */]);

Creates an export task, which allows you to efficiently export data from a log group to an Amazon S3 bucket. When you perform a CreateExportTask operation, you must use credentials that have permission to write to the S3 bucket that you specify as the destination.

This is an asynchronous call. If all the required information is provided, this operation initiates an export task and responds with the ID of the task. After the task has started, you can use DescribeExportTasks to get the status of the export task. Each account can only have one active (RUNNING or PENDING) export task at a time. To cancel an export task, use CancelExportTask.

You can export logs from multiple log groups or multiple time ranges to the same S3 bucket. To separate out log data for each export task, you can specify a prefix to be used as the Amazon S3 key prefix for all exported objects.

Exporting to S3 buckets that are encrypted with AES-256 is supported. Exporting to S3 buckets encrypted with SSE-KMS is not supported.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->createExportTask([
    'destination' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
    'destinationPrefix' => '<string>',
    'from' => <integer>, // REQUIRED
    'logGroupName' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
    'logStreamNamePrefix' => '<string>',
    'taskName' => '<string>',
    'to' => <integer>, // REQUIRED
]);

Parameter Details

Members

destination

Required: Yes
Type: string

The name of S3 bucket for the exported log data. The bucket must be in the same AWS region.

destinationPrefix

Type: string

logStreamNamePrefix

Type: string

Export only log streams that match the provided prefix. If you don't specify a value, no prefix filter is applied.

taskName

Type: string

The name of the export task.

to

Required: Yes
Type: long (int|float)

CreateLogGroup

$result = $client->createLogGroup([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->createLogGroupAsync([/* ... */]);

Creates a log group with the specified name. You can create up to 20,000 log groups per account.

You must use the following guidelines when naming a log group:

Log group names must be unique within a region for an AWS account.
Log group names can be between 1 and 512 characters long.
Log group names consist of the following characters: a-z, A-Z, 0-9, '_' (underscore), '-' (hyphen), '/' (forward slash), '.' (period), and '#' (number sign)

When you create a log group, by default the log events in the log group never expire. To set a retention policy so that events expire and are deleted after a specified time, use PutRetentionPolicy.

If you associate a AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) customer master key (CMK) with the log group, ingested data is encrypted using the CMK. This association is stored as long as the data encrypted with the CMK is still within Amazon CloudWatch Logs. This enables Amazon CloudWatch Logs to decrypt this data whenever it is requested.

If you attempt to associate a CMK with the log group but the CMK does not exist or the CMK is disabled, you receive an InvalidParameterException error.

CloudWatch Logs supports only symmetric CMKs. Do not associate an asymmetric CMK with your log group. For more information, see Using Symmetric and Asymmetric Keys.

Parameter Syntax

This number is expressed as the number of milliseconds after Jan 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC. lastEventTimestamp updates on an eventual consistency basis. It typically updates in less than an hour from ingestion, but in rare situations might take longer.

FilterLogEvents

$result = $client->filterLogEvents([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->filterLogEventsAsync([/* ... */]);

Lists log events from the specified log group. You can list all the log events or filter the results using a filter pattern, a time range, and the name of the log stream.

By default, this operation returns as many log events as can fit in 1 MB (up to 10,000 log events) or all the events found within the time range that you specify. If the results include a token, then there are more log events available, and you can get additional results by specifying the token in a subsequent call. This operation can return empty results while there are more log events available through the token.

The returned log events are sorted by event timestamp, the timestamp when the event was ingested by CloudWatch Logs, and the ID of the PutLogEvents request.

statistics

Type: QueryStatistics structure

Includes the number of log events scanned by the query, the number of log events that matched the query criteria, and the total number of bytes in the log events that were scanned. These values reflect the full raw results of the query.

status

Type: string

The status of the most recent running of the query. Possible values are Cancelled, Complete, Failed, Running, Scheduled, Timeout, and Unknown.

Queries time out after 15 minutes of execution. To avoid having your queries time out, reduce the time range being searched or partition your query into a number of queries.

PutDestination

$result = $client->putDestination([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->putDestinationAsync([/* ... */]);

Creates or updates a destination. This operation is used only to create destinations for cross-account subscriptions.

A destination encapsulates a physical resource (such as an Amazon Kinesis stream) and enables you to subscribe to a real-time stream of log events for a different account, ingested using PutLogEvents.

Through an access policy, a destination controls what is written to it. By default, PutDestination does not set any access policy with the destination, which means a cross-account user cannot call PutSubscriptionFilter against this destination. To enable this, the destination owner must call PutDestinationPolicy after PutDestination.

To perform a PutDestination operation, you must also have the iam:PassRole permission.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->putDestination([
    'destinationName' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
    'roleArn' => '<string>', // REQUIRED

PutDestinationPolicy

$result = $client->putDestinationPolicy([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->putDestinationPolicyAsync([/* ... */]);

Creates or updates an access policy associated with an existing destination. An access policy is an IAM policy document that is used to authorize claims to register a subscription filter against a given destination.

If multiple AWS accounts are sending logs to this destination, each sender account must be listed separately in the policy. The policy does not support specifying * as the Principal or the use of the aws:PrincipalOrgId global key.

Parameter Syntax

PutLogEvents

$result = $client->putLogEvents([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->putLogEventsAsync([/* ... */]);

Uploads a batch of log events to the specified log stream.

You must include the sequence token obtained from the response of the previous call. An upload in a newly created log stream does not require a sequence token. You can also get the sequence token in the expectedSequenceToken field from InvalidSequenceTokenException. If you call PutLogEvents twice within a narrow time period using the same value for sequenceToken, both calls might be successful or one might be rejected.

The batch of events must satisfy the following constraints:

The maximum batch size is 1,048,576 bytes. This size is calculated as the sum of all event messages in UTF-8, plus 26 bytes for each log event.
None of the log events in the batch can be more than 2 hours in the future.
None of the log events in the batch can be older than 14 days or older than the retention period of the log group.
The log events in the batch must be in chronological order by their timestamp. The timestamp is the time the event occurred, expressed as the number of milliseconds after Jan 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC. (In AWS Tools for PowerShell and the AWS SDK for .NET, the timestamp is specified in .NET format: yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss. For example, 2017-09-15T13:45:30.)
A batch of log events in a single request cannot span more than 24 hours. Otherwise, the operation fails.
The maximum number of log events in a batch is 10,000.
There is a quota of 5 requests per second per log stream. Additional requests are throttled. This quota can't be changed.

If a call to PutLogEvents returns "UnrecognizedClientException" the most likely cause is an invalid AWS access key ID or secret key.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->putLogEvents([
    'logEvents' => [ // REQUIRED
        [
            'message' => '<string>', // REQUIRED

PutMetricFilter

$result = $client->putMetricFilter([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->putMetricFilterAsync([/* ... */]);

Creates or updates a metric filter and associates it with the specified log group. Metric filters allow you to configure rules to extract metric data from log events ingested through PutLogEvents.

The maximum number of metric filters that can be associated with a log group is 100.

When you create a metric filter, you can also optionally assign a unit and dimensions to the metric that is created.

Metrics extracted from log events are charged as custom metrics. To prevent unexpected high charges, do not specify high-cardinality fields such as IPAddress or requestID as dimensions. Each different value found for a dimension is treated as a separate metric and accrues charges as a separate custom metric.

To help prevent accidental high charges, Amazon disables a metric filter if it generates 1000 different name/value pairs for the dimensions that you have specified within a certain amount of time.

You can also set up a billing alarm to alert you if your charges are higher than expected. For more information, see Creating a Billing Alarm to Monitor Your Estimated AWS Charges.
