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 KMS key with either one log group in the account, or with all stored CloudWatch Logs query insights results in the account.

When you use AssociateKmsKey, you specify either the logGroupName parameter or the resourceIdentifier parameter. You can't specify both of those parameters in the same operation.

  • Specify the logGroupName parameter to cause all log events stored in the log group to be encrypted with that key. Only the log events ingested after the key is associated are encrypted with that key.

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

    Associating a key with a log group does not cause the results of queries of that log group to be encrypted with that key. To have query results encrypted with a KMS key, you must use an AssociateKmsKey operation with the resourceIdentifier parameter that specifies a query-result resource.

  • Specify the resourceIdentifier parameter with a query-result resource, to use that key to encrypt the stored results of all future StartQuery operations in the account. The response from a GetQueryResults operation will still return the query results in plain text.

    Even if you have not associated a key with your query results, the query results are encrypted when stored, using the default CloudWatch Logs method.

    If you run a query from a monitoring account that queries logs in a source account, the query results key from the monitoring account, if any, is used.

If you delete the key that is used to encrypt log events or log group query results, then all the associated stored log events or query results that were encrypted with that key will be unencryptable and unusable.

CloudWatch Logs supports only symmetric KMS keys. Do not use an associate an asymmetric KMS key with your log group or query results. 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 KMS key with a log group but the KMS key does not exist or the KMS key is disabled, you receive an InvalidParameterException error.

CreateDelivery

$result = $client->createDelivery([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->createDeliveryAsync([/* ... */]);

Creates a delivery. A delivery is a connection between a logical delivery source and a logical delivery destination that you have already created.

Only some Amazon Web Services services support being configured as a delivery source using this operation. These services are listed as Supported [V2 Permissions] in the table at Enabling logging from Amazon Web Services services.

A delivery destination can represent a log group in CloudWatch Logs, an Amazon S3 bucket, or a delivery stream in Firehose.

To configure logs delivery between a supported Amazon Web Services service and a destination, you must do the following:

  • Create a delivery source, which is a logical object that represents the resource that is actually sending the logs. For more information, see PutDeliverySource.

  • Create a delivery destination, which is a logical object that represents the actual delivery destination. For more information, see PutDeliveryDestination.

  • If you are delivering logs cross-account, you must use PutDeliveryDestinationPolicy in the destination account to assign an IAM policy to the destination. This policy allows delivery to that destination.

  • Use CreateDelivery to create a delivery by pairing exactly one delivery source and one delivery destination.

You can configure a single delivery source to send logs to multiple destinations by creating multiple deliveries. You can also create multiple deliveries to configure multiple delivery sources to send logs to the same delivery destination.

To update an existing delivery configuration, use UpdateDeliveryConfiguration.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->createDelivery([
    'deliveryDestinationArn' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
    'deliverySourceName' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
    'fieldDelimiter' => '<string>',

CreateExportTask

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

Creates an export task so that you can 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.

Exporting log data to S3 buckets that are encrypted by KMS is supported. Exporting log data to Amazon S3 buckets that have S3 Object Lock enabled with a retention period is also supported.

Exporting to S3 buckets that are encrypted with AES-256 is supported.

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 log data for each export task, specify a prefix to be used as the Amazon S3 key prefix for all exported objects.

Time-based sorting on chunks of log data inside an exported file is not guaranteed. You can sort the exported log field data by using Linux utilities.

CreateLogAnomalyDetector

$result = $client->createLogAnomalyDetector([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->createLogAnomalyDetectorAsync([/* ... */]);

Creates an anomaly detector that regularly scans one or more log groups and look for patterns and anomalies in the logs.

An anomaly detector can help surface issues by automatically discovering anomalies in your log event traffic. An anomaly detector uses machine learning algorithms to scan log events and find patterns. A pattern is a shared text structure that recurs among your log fields. Patterns provide a useful tool for analyzing large sets of logs because a large number of log events can often be compressed into a few patterns.

The anomaly detector uses pattern recognition to find anomalies, which are unusual log events. It uses the evaluationFrequency to compare current log events and patterns with trained baselines.

Fields within a pattern are called tokens. Fields that vary within a pattern, such as a request ID or timestamp, are referred to as dynamic tokens and represented by <*>.

The following is an example of a pattern:

[INFO] Request time: <*> ms

This pattern represents log events like [INFO] Request time: 327 ms and other similar log events that differ only by the number, in this csse 327. When the pattern is displayed, the different numbers are replaced by <*>

Any parts of log events that are masked as sensitive data are not scanned for anomalies. For more information about masking sensitive data, see Help protect sensitive log data with masking.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->createLogAnomalyDetector([
    'anomalyVisibilityTime' => <integer>,
    'detectorName' => '<string>',
    'evaluationFrequency' => 'ONE_MIN|FIVE_MIN|TEN_MIN|FIFTEEN_MIN|THIRTY_MIN|ONE_HOUR',
    'filterPattern' => '<string>',
    'kmsKeyId' => '<string>',
    'logGroupArnList' => ['<string>', ...], // REQUIRED
    'tags' => ['<string>', ...],
]);

Parameter Details

Members
anomalyVisibilityTime
Type: long (int|float)

The number of days to have visibility on an anomaly. After this time period has elapsed for an anomaly, it will be automatically baselined and the anomaly detector will treat new occurrences of a similar anomaly as normal. Therefore, if you do not correct the cause of an anomaly during the time period specified in anomalyVisibilityTime, it will be considered normal going forward and will not be detected as an anomaly.

detectorName
Type: string

A name for this anomaly detector.

evaluationFrequency
Type: string

Specifies how often the anomaly detector is to run and look for anomalies. Set this value according to the frequency that the log group receives new logs. For example, if the log group receives new log events every 10 minutes, then 15 minutes might be a good setting for evaluationFrequency .

filterPattern
Type: string

You can use this parameter to limit the anomaly detection model to examine only log events that match the pattern you specify here. For more information, see Filter and Pattern Syntax.

kmsKeyId
Type: string

Optionally assigns a KMS key to secure this anomaly detector and its findings. If a key is assigned, the anomalies found and the model used by this detector are encrypted at rest with the key. If a key is assigned to an anomaly detector, a user must have permissions for both this key and for the anomaly detector to retrieve information about the anomalies that it finds.

For more information about using a KMS key and to see the required IAM policy, see Use a KMS key with an anomaly detector.

logGroupArnList
Required: Yes
Type: Array of strings

An array containing the ARN of the log group that this anomaly detector will watch. You can specify only one log group ARN.

tags
Type: Associative array of custom strings keys (TagKey) to strings

An optional list of key-value pairs to associate with the resource.

For more information about tagging, see Tagging Amazon Web Services resources

CreateLogGroup

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

Creates a log group with the specified name. You can create up to 1,000,000 log groups per Region per account.

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

  • Log group names must be unique within a Region for an Amazon Web Services 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)

  • Log group names can't start with the string aws/

When you create a log group, by default the log events in the log group do not expire. To set a retention policy so that events expire and are deleted after a specified time, use PutRetentionPolicy.

If you associate an KMS key with the log group, ingested data is encrypted using the KMS key. This association is stored as long as the data encrypted with the KMS key is still within CloudWatch Logs. This enables CloudWatch Logs to decrypt this data whenever it is requested.

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

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

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->createLogGroup([
    'kmsKeyId' => '<string>',
    'logGroupClass' => 'STANDARD|INFREQUENT_ACCESS',
    'logGroupName' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
    'tags' => ['<string>', ...],
]);

Parameter Details

Members
kmsKeyId
Type: string

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the KMS key to use when encrypting log data. For more information, see Amazon Resource Names.

logGroupClass
Type: string

Use this parameter to specify the log group class for this log group. There are two classes:

  • The Standard log class supports all CloudWatch Logs features.

  • The Infrequent Access log class supports a subset of CloudWatch Logs features and incurs lower costs.

If you omit this parameter, the default of STANDARD is used.

The value of logGroupClass can't be changed after a log group is created.

For details about the features supported by each class, see Log classes

logGroupName
Required: Yes
Type: string

A name for the log group.

tags
Type: Associative array of custom strings keys (TagKey) to strings

The key-value pairs to use for the tags.

You can grant users access to certain log groups while preventing them from accessing other log groups. To do so, tag your groups and use IAM policies that refer to those tags. To assign tags when you create a log group, you must have either the logs:TagResource or logs:TagLogGroup permission. For more information about tagging, see Tagging Amazon Web Services resources. For more information about using tags to control access, see Controlling access to Amazon Web Services resources using tags.

DescribeLogGroups

$result = $client->describeLogGroups([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->describeLogGroupsAsync([/* ... */]);

Lists the specified log groups. You can list all your log groups or filter the results by prefix. The results are ASCII-sorted by log group name.

CloudWatch Logs doesn't support IAM policies that control access to the DescribeLogGroups action by using the aws:ResourceTag/key-name condition key. Other CloudWatch Logs actions do support the use of the aws:ResourceTag/key-name condition key to control access. For more information about using tags to control access, see Controlling access to Amazon Web Services resources using tags.

If you are using CloudWatch cross-account observability, you can use this operation in a monitoring account and view data from the linked source accounts. For more information, see CloudWatch cross-account observability.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->describeLogGroups([
    'accountIdentifiers' => ['<string>', ...],
    'includeLinkedAccounts' => true || false,
    'limit' => <integer>,
    'logGroupClass' => 'STANDARD|INFREQUENT_ACCESS',

]);

Parameter Details

Members
accountIdentifiers
Type: Array of strings

When includeLinkedAccounts is set to True, use this parameter to specify the list of accounts to search. You can specify as many as 20 account IDs in the array.

includeLinkedAccounts
Type: boolean

If you are using a monitoring account, set this to True to have the operation return log groups in the accounts listed in accountIdentifiers.

If this parameter is set to true and accountIdentifiers contains a null value, the operation returns all log groups in the monitoring account and all log groups in all source accounts that are linked to the monitoring account.

limit
Type: int

The maximum number of items returned. If you don't specify a value, the default is up to 50 items.

logGroupClass
Type: string

Specifies the log group class for this log group. There are two classes:

  • The Standard log class supports all CloudWatch Logs features.

  • The Infrequent Access log class supports a subset of CloudWatch Logs features and incurs lower costs.

For details about the features supported by each class, see Log classes

logGroupNamePattern
Type: string

If you specify a string for this parameter, the operation returns only log groups that have names that match the string based on a case-sensitive substring search. For example, if you specify Foo, log groups named FooBar, aws/Foo, and GroupFoo would match, but foo, F/o/o and Froo would not match.

If you specify logGroupNamePattern in your request, then only arn, creationTime, and logGroupName are included in the response.

logGroupNamePattern and logGroupNamePrefix are mutually exclusive. Only one of these parameters can be passed.

logGroupNamePrefix
Type: string

The prefix to match.

logGroupNamePrefix and logGroupNamePattern are mutually exclusive. Only one of these parameters can be passed.

DisassociateKmsKey

$result = $client->disassociateKmsKey([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->disassociateKmsKeyAsync([/* ... */]);

Disassociates the specified KMS key from the specified log group or from all CloudWatch Logs Insights query results in the account.

When you use DisassociateKmsKey, you specify either the logGroupName parameter or the resourceIdentifier parameter. You can't specify both of those parameters in the same operation.

  • Specify the logGroupName parameter to stop using the KMS key to encrypt future log events ingested and stored in the log group. Instead, they will be encrypted with the default CloudWatch Logs method. The log events that were ingested while the key was associated with the log group are still encrypted with that key. Therefore, CloudWatch Logs will need permissions for the key whenever that data is accessed.

  • Specify the resourceIdentifier parameter with the query-result resource to stop using the KMS key to encrypt the results of all future StartQuery operations in the account. They will instead be encrypted with the default CloudWatch Logs method. The results from queries that ran while the key was associated with the account are still encrypted with that key. Therefore, CloudWatch Logs will need permissions for the key whenever that data is accessed.

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

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->disassociateKmsKey([
    'logGroupName' => '<string>',
    'resourceIdentifier' => '<string>',
]);

Parameter Details

Members
logGroupName
Type: string

The name of the log group.

In your DisassociateKmsKey operation, you must specify either the resourceIdentifier parameter or the logGroup parameter, but you can't specify both.

resourceIdentifier
Type: string

Specifies the target for this operation. You must specify one of the following:

  • Specify the ARN of a log group to stop having CloudWatch Logs use the KMS key to encrypt log events that are ingested and stored by that log group. After you run this operation, CloudWatch Logs encrypts ingested log events with the default CloudWatch Logs method. The log group ARN must be in the following format. Replace REGION and ACCOUNT_ID with your Region and account ID.

    arn:aws:logs:REGION:ACCOUNT_ID:log-group:LOG_GROUP_NAME

  • Specify the following ARN to stop using this key to encrypt the results of future StartQuery operations in this account. Replace REGION and ACCOUNT_ID with your Region and account ID.

    arn:aws:logs:REGION:ACCOUNT_ID:query-result:*

In your DisssociateKmsKey operation, you must specify either the resourceIdentifier parameter or the logGroup parameter, but you can't specify both.

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.

You must have the logs:FilterLogEvents permission to perform this operation.

You can specify the log group to search by using either logGroupIdentifier or logGroupName. You must include one of these two parameters, but you can't include both.

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 specified time range. If the results include a token, that means there are more log events available. 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.

If you are using CloudWatch cross-account observability, you can use this operation in a monitoring account and view data from the linked source accounts. For more information, see CloudWatch cross-account observability.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->filterLogEvents([
    'endTime' => <integer>,

If not provided, all the events are matched.

interleaved
Type: boolean

If the value is true, the operation attempts to provide responses that contain events from multiple log streams within the log group, interleaved in a single response. If the value is false, all the matched log events in the first log stream are searched first, then those in the next log stream, and so on.

Important As of June 17, 2019, this parameter is ignored and the value is assumed to be true. The response from this operation always interleaves events from multiple log streams within a log group.

limit

Type: string

Filters the results to include only events from log streams that have names starting with this prefix.

If you specify a value for both logStreamNamePrefix and logStreamNames, the action returns an InvalidParameterException error.

logStreamNames
Type: Array of strings

Filters the results to only logs from the log streams in this list.

If you specify a value for both logStreamNames and logStreamNamePrefix, the action returns an InvalidParameterException error.

nextToken

PutAccountPolicy

$result = $client->putAccountPolicy([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->putAccountPolicyAsync([/* ... */]);

Creates an account-level data protection policy or subscription filter policy that applies to all log groups or a subset of log groups in the account.

Data protection policy

A data protection policy can help safeguard sensitive data that's ingested by your log groups by auditing and masking the sensitive log data. Each account can have only one account-level data protection policy.

Sensitive data is detected and masked when it is ingested into a log group. When you set a data protection policy, log events ingested into the log groups before that time are not masked.

If you use PutAccountPolicy to create a data protection policy for your whole account, it applies to both existing log groups and all log groups that are created later in this account. The account-level policy is applied to existing log groups with eventual consistency. It might take up to 5 minutes before sensitive data in existing log groups begins to be masked.

By default, when a user views a log event that includes masked data, the sensitive data is replaced by asterisks. A user who has the logs:Unmask permission can use a GetLogEvents or FilterLogEvents operation with the unmask parameter set to true to view the unmasked log events. Users with the logs:Unmask can also view unmasked data in the CloudWatch Logs console by running a CloudWatch Logs Insights query with the unmask query command.

For more information, including a list of types of data that can be audited and masked, see Protect sensitive log data with masking.

To use the PutAccountPolicy operation for a data protection policy, you must be signed on with the logs:PutDataProtectionPolicy and logs:PutAccountPolicy permissions.

The PutAccountPolicy operation applies to all log groups in the account. You can use PutDataProtectionPolicy to create a data protection policy that applies to just one log group. If a log group has its own data protection policy and the account also has an account-level data protection policy, then the two policies are cumulative. Any sensitive term specified in either policy is masked.

Subscription filter policy

A subscription filter policy sets up a real-time feed of log events from CloudWatch Logs to other Amazon Web Services services. Account-level subscription filter policies apply to both existing log groups and log groups that are created later in this account. Supported destinations are Kinesis Data Streams, Firehose, and Lambda. When log events are sent to the receiving service, they are Base64 encoded and compressed with the GZIP format.

The following destinations are supported for subscription filters:

  • An Kinesis Data Streams data stream in the same account as the subscription policy, for same-account delivery.

  • An Firehose data stream in the same account as the subscription policy, for same-account delivery.

  • A Lambda function in the same account as the subscription policy, for same-account delivery.

  • A logical destination in a different account created with PutDestination, for cross-account delivery. Kinesis Data Streams and Firehose are supported as logical destinations.

Each account can have one account-level subscription filter policy per Region. If you are updating an existing filter, you must specify the correct name in PolicyName. To perform a PutAccountPolicy subscription filter operation for any destination except a Lambda function, you must also have the iam:PassRole permission.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->putAccountPolicy([
    'policyDocument' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
    'policyName' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
    'policyType' => 'DATA_PROTECTION_POLICY|SUBSCRIPTION_FILTER_POLICY', // REQUIRED
    'scope' => 'ALL',
    'selectionCriteria' => '<string>',
]);

Parameter Details

Members
policyDocument
Required: Yes
Type: string

Specify the policy, in JSON.

Data protection policy

A data protection policy must include two JSON blocks:

  • The first block must include both a DataIdentifer array and an Operation property with an Audit action. The DataIdentifer array lists the types of sensitive data that you want to mask. For more information about the available options, see Types of data that you can mask.

    The Operation property with an Audit action is required to find the sensitive data terms. This Audit action must contain a FindingsDestination object. You can optionally use that FindingsDestination object to list one or more destinations to send audit findings to. If you specify destinations such as log groups, Firehose streams, and S3 buckets, they must already exist.

  • The second block must include both a DataIdentifer array and an Operation property with an Deidentify action. The DataIdentifer array must exactly match the DataIdentifer array in the first block of the policy.

    The Operation property with the Deidentify action is what actually masks the data, and it must contain the "MaskConfig": {} object. The "MaskConfig": {} object must be empty.

For an example data protection policy, see the Examples section on this page.

The contents of the two DataIdentifer arrays must match exactly.

In addition to the two JSON blocks, the policyDocument can also include Name, Description, and Version fields. The Name is different than the operation's policyName parameter, and is used as a dimension when CloudWatch Logs reports audit findings metrics to CloudWatch.

The JSON specified in policyDocument can be up to 30,720 characters long.

Subscription filter policy

A subscription filter policy can include the following attributes in a JSON block:

  • DestinationArn The ARN of the destination to deliver log events to. Supported destinations are:

    • An Kinesis Data Streams data stream in the same account as the subscription policy, for same-account delivery.

    • An Firehose data stream in the same account as the subscription policy, for same-account delivery.

    • A Lambda function in the same account as the subscription policy, for same-account delivery.

    • A logical destination in a different account created with PutDestination, for cross-account delivery. Kinesis Data Streams and Firehose are supported as logical destinations.

  • RoleArn The ARN of an IAM role that grants CloudWatch Logs permissions to deliver ingested log events to the destination stream. You don't need to provide the ARN when you are working with a logical destination for cross-account delivery.

  • FilterPattern A filter pattern for subscribing to a filtered stream of log events.

  • Distribution The method used to distribute log data to the destination. By default, log data is grouped by log stream, but the grouping can be set to Random for a more even distribution. This property is only applicable when the destination is an Kinesis Data Streams data stream.

policyName
Required: Yes
Type: string

A name for the policy. This must be unique within the account.

policyType
Required: Yes
Type: string

The type of policy that you're creating or updating.

scope
Type: string

Currently the only valid value for this parameter is ALL, which specifies that the data protection policy applies to all log groups in the account. If you omit this parameter, the default of ALL is used.

selectionCriteria
Type: string

Use this parameter to apply the subscription filter policy to a subset of log groups in the account. Currently, the only supported filter is LogGroupName NOT IN []. The selectionCriteria string can be up to 25KB in length. The length is determined by using its UTF-8 bytes.

Using the selectionCriteria parameter is useful to help prevent infinite loops. For more information, see Log recursion prevention.

Specifing selectionCriteria is valid only when you specify SUBSCRIPTION_FILTER_POLICY for policyType.

PutDataProtectionPolicy

$result = $client->putDataProtectionPolicy([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->putDataProtectionPolicyAsync([/* ... */]);

Creates a data protection policy for the specified log group. A data protection policy can help safeguard sensitive data that's ingested by the log group by auditing and masking the sensitive log data.

Sensitive data is detected and masked when it is ingested into the log group. When you set a data protection policy, log events ingested into the log group before that time are not masked.

By default, when a user views a log event that includes masked data, the sensitive data is replaced by asterisks. A user who has the logs:Unmask permission can use a GetLogEvents or FilterLogEvents operation with the unmask parameter set to true to view the unmasked log events. Users with the logs:Unmask can also view unmasked data in the CloudWatch Logs console by running a CloudWatch Logs Insights query with the unmask query command.

For more information, including a list of types of data that can be audited and masked, see Protect sensitive log data with masking.

The PutDataProtectionPolicy operation applies to only the specified log group. You can also use PutAccountPolicy to create an account-level data protection policy that applies to all log groups in the account, including both existing log groups and log groups that are created level. If a log group has its own data protection policy and the account also has an account-level data protection policy, then the two policies are cumulative. Any sensitive term specified in either policy is masked.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->putDataProtectionPolicy([
    'logGroupIdentifier' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
    'policyDocument' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
]);

Parameter Details

Members
logGroupIdentifier

policyDocument
Required: Yes
Type: string

Specify the data protection policy, in JSON.

This policy must include two JSON blocks:

  • The first block must include both a DataIdentifer array and an Operation property with an Audit action. The DataIdentifer array lists the types of sensitive data that you want to mask. For more information about the available options, see Types of data that you can mask.

    The Operation property with an Audit action is required to find the sensitive data terms. This Audit action must contain a FindingsDestination object. You can optionally use that FindingsDestination object to list one or more destinations to send audit findings to. If you specify destinations such as log groups, Firehose streams, and S3 buckets, they must already exist.

  • The second block must include both a DataIdentifer array and an Operation property with an Deidentify action. The DataIdentifer array must exactly match the DataIdentifer array in the first block of the policy.

    The Operation property with the Deidentify action is what actually masks the data, and it must contain the "MaskConfig": {} object. The "MaskConfig": {} object must be empty.

For an example data protection policy, see the Examples section on this page.

The contents of the two DataIdentifer arrays must match exactly.

In addition to the two JSON blocks, the policyDocument can also include Name, Description, and Version fields. The Name is used as a dimension when CloudWatch Logs reports audit findings metrics to CloudWatch.

PutDeliveryDestination

$result = $client->putDeliveryDestination([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->putDeliveryDestinationAsync([/* ... */]);

Creates or updates a logical delivery destination. A delivery destination is an Amazon Web Services resource that represents an Amazon Web Services service that logs can be sent to. CloudWatch Logs, Amazon S3, and Firehose are supported as logs delivery destinations.

To configure logs delivery between a supported Amazon Web Services service and a destination, you must do the following:

  • Create a delivery source, which is a logical object that represents the resource that is actually sending the logs. For more information, see PutDeliverySource.

  • Use PutDeliveryDestination to create a delivery destination, which is a logical object that represents the actual delivery destination.

  • If you are delivering logs cross-account, you must use PutDeliveryDestinationPolicy in the destination account to assign an IAM policy to the destination. This policy allows delivery to that destination.

  • Use CreateDelivery to create a delivery by pairing exactly one delivery source and one delivery destination. For more information, see CreateDelivery.

You can configure a single delivery source to send logs to multiple destinations by creating multiple deliveries. You can also create multiple deliveries to configure multiple delivery sources to send logs to the same delivery destination.

Only some Amazon Web Services services support being configured as a delivery source. These services are listed as Supported [V2 Permissions] in the table at Enabling logging from Amazon Web Services services.

If you use this operation to update an existing delivery destination, all the current delivery destination parameters are overwritten with the new parameter values that you specify.

Parameter Syntax

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). With a destination, you can 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
    'tags' => ['<string>', ...],
    'targetArn' => '<string>', // REQUIRED

forceUpdate
Type: boolean

Specify true if you are updating an existing destination policy to grant permission to an organization ID instead of granting permission to individual Amazon Web Services accounts. Before you update a destination policy this way, you must first update the subscription filters in the accounts that send logs to this destination. If you do not, the subscription filters might stop working. By specifying true for forceUpdate, you are affirming that you have already updated the subscription filters. For more information, see Updating an existing cross-account subscription

If you omit this parameter, the default of false is used.

PutLogEvents

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

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

The sequence token is now ignored in PutLogEvents actions. PutLogEvents actions are always accepted and never return InvalidSequenceTokenException or DataAlreadyAcceptedException even if the sequence token is not valid. You can use parallel PutLogEvents actions on the same log stream.

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 more than 14 days in the past. Also, none of the log events can be from earlier 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 that the event occurred, expressed as the number of milliseconds after Jan 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC. (In Amazon Web Services Tools for PowerShell and the Amazon Web Services 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.

  • Each log event can be no larger than 256 KB.

  • The maximum number of log events in a batch is 10,000.

  • The quota of five requests per second per log stream has been removed. Instead, PutLogEvents actions are throttled based on a per-second per-account quota. You can request an increase to the per-second throttling quota by using the Service Quotas service.

If a call to PutLogEvents returns "UnrecognizedClientException" the most likely cause is a non-valid Amazon Web Services access key ID or secret key.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->putLogEvents([
    'entity' => [
        'attributes' => ['<string>', ...],

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

Creates or updates a metric filter and associates it with the specified log group. With metric filters, you can 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.

Using regular expressions to create metric filters is supported. For these filters, there is a quotas of quota of two regular expression patterns within a single filter pattern. There is also a quota of five regular expression patterns per log group. For more information about using regular expressions in metric filters, see Filter pattern syntax for metric filters, subscription filters, filter log events, and Live Tail.

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.

CloudWatch Logs might disable a metric filter if it generates 1,000 different name/value pairs for your specified dimensions within one hour.

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 Amazon Web Services Charges.

PutResourcePolicy

$result = $client->putResourcePolicy([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->putResourcePolicyAsync([/* ... */]);

Creates or updates a resource policy allowing other Amazon Web Services services to put log events to this account, such as Amazon Route 53. An account can have up to 10 resource policies per Amazon Web Services Region.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->putResourcePolicy([
    'policyDocument' => '<string>',
    'policyName' => '<string>',
]);

Parameter Details

Members
policyDocument
Type: string

Details of the new policy, including the identity of the principal that is enabled to put logs to this account. This is formatted as a JSON string. This parameter is required.

The following example creates a resource policy enabling the Route 53 service to put DNS query logs in to the specified log group. Replace "logArn" with the ARN of your CloudWatch Logs resource, such as a log group or log stream.

CloudWatch Logs also supports aws:SourceArn and aws:SourceAccount condition context keys.

In the example resource policy, you would replace the value of SourceArn with the resource making the call from Route 53 to CloudWatch Logs. You would also replace the value of SourceAccount with the Amazon Web Services account ID making that call.

{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "Route53LogsToCloudWatchLogs", "Effect": "Allow", "Principal": { "Service": [ "route53.amazonaws.com" ] }, "Action": "logs:PutLogEvents", "Resource": "logArn", "Condition": { "ArnLike": { "aws:SourceArn": "myRoute53ResourceArn" }, "StringEquals": { "aws:SourceAccount": "myAwsAccountId" } } } ] }

PutRetentionPolicy

$result = $client->putRetentionPolicy([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->putRetentionPolicyAsync([/* ... */]);

Sets the retention of the specified log group. With a retention policy, you can configure the number of days for which to retain log events in the specified log group.

CloudWatch Logs doesn't immediately delete log events when they reach their retention setting. It typically takes up to 72 hours after that before log events are deleted, but in rare situations might take longer.

To illustrate, imagine that you change a log group to have a longer retention setting when it contains log events that are past the expiration date, but haven't been deleted. Those log events will take up to 72 hours to be deleted after the new retention date is reached. To make sure that log data is deleted permanently, keep a log group at its lower retention setting until 72 hours after the previous retention period ends. Alternatively, wait to change the retention setting until you confirm that the earlier log events are deleted.

When log events reach their retention setting they are marked for deletion. After they are marked for deletion, they do not add to your archival storage costs anymore, even if they are not actually deleted until later. These log events marked for deletion are also not included when you use an API to retrieve the storedBytes value to see how many bytes a log group is storing.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->putRetentionPolicy([
    'logGroupName' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
    'retentionInDays' => <integer>, // REQUIRED
]);

Parameter Details

Members
logGroupName
Required: Yes
Type: string

The name of the log group.

retentionInDays
Required: Yes
Type: int

The number of days to retain the log events in the specified log group. Possible values are: 1, 3, 5, 7, 14, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 365, 400, 545, 731, 1096, 1827, 2192, 2557, 2922, 3288, and 3653.

To set a log group so that its log events do not expire, use DeleteRetentionPolicy.

PutSubscriptionFilter

$result = $client->putSubscriptionFilter([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->putSubscriptionFilterAsync([/* ... */]);

Creates or updates a subscription filter and associates it with the specified log group. With subscription filters, you can subscribe to a real-time stream of log events ingested through PutLogEvents and have them delivered to a specific destination. When log events are sent to the receiving service, they are Base64 encoded and compressed with the GZIP format.

The following destinations are supported for subscription filters:

  • An Amazon Kinesis data stream belonging to the same account as the subscription filter, for same-account delivery.

  • A logical destination created with PutDestination that belongs to a different account, for cross-account delivery. We currently support Kinesis Data Streams and Firehose as logical destinations.

  • An Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream that belongs to the same account as the subscription filter, for same-account delivery.

  • An Lambda function that belongs to the same account as the subscription filter, for same-account delivery.

Each log group can have up to two subscription filters associated with it. If you are updating an existing filter, you must specify the correct name in filterName.

Using regular expressions to create subscription filters is supported. For these filters, there is a quotas of quota of two regular expression patterns within a single filter pattern. There is also a quota of five regular expression patterns per log group. For more information about using regular expressions in subscription filters, see Filter pattern syntax for metric filters, subscription filters, filter log events, and Live Tail.

To perform a PutSubscriptionFilter operation for any destination except a Lambda function, you must also have the iam:PassRole permission.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->putSubscriptionFilter([
    'destinationArn' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
    'distribution' => 'Random|ByLogStream',
    'filterName' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
    'filterPattern' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
    'logGroupName' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
    'roleArn' => '<string>',
]);

Parameter Details

Members
destinationArn
Required: Yes
Type: string

The ARN of the destination to deliver matching log events to. Currently, the supported destinations are:

  • An Amazon Kinesis stream belonging to the same account as the subscription filter, for same-account delivery.

  • A logical destination (specified using an ARN) belonging to a different account, for cross-account delivery.

    If you're setting up a cross-account subscription, the destination must have an IAM policy associated with it. The IAM policy must allow the sender to send logs to the destination. For more information, see PutDestinationPolicy.

  • A Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream belonging to the same account as the subscription filter, for same-account delivery.

  • A Lambda function belonging to the same account as the subscription filter, for same-account delivery.

distribution
Type: string

The method used to distribute log data to the destination. By default, log data is grouped by log stream, but the grouping can be set to random for a more even distribution. This property is only applicable when the destination is an Amazon Kinesis data stream.

filterName
Required: Yes
Type: string

A name for the subscription filter. If you are updating an existing filter, you must specify the correct name in filterName. To find the name of the filter currently associated with a log group, use DescribeSubscriptionFilters.

filterPattern
Required: Yes
Type: string

A filter pattern for subscribing to a filtered stream of log events.

logGroupName
Required: Yes
Type: string

The name of the log group.

roleArn
Type: string

The ARN of an IAM role that grants CloudWatch Logs permissions to deliver ingested log events to the destination stream. You don't need to provide the ARN when you are working with a logical destination for cross-account delivery.

StartLiveTail

$result = $client->startLiveTail([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->startLiveTailAsync([/* ... */]);

Starts a Live Tail streaming session for one or more log groups. A Live Tail session returns a stream of log events that have been recently ingested in the log groups. For more information, see Use Live Tail to view logs in near real time.

The response to this operation is a response stream, over which the server sends live log events and the client receives them.

The following objects are sent over the stream:

  • A single LiveTailSessionStart object is sent at the start of the session.

  • Every second, a LiveTailSessionUpdate object is sent. Each of these objects contains an array of the actual log events.

    If no new log events were ingested in the past second, the LiveTailSessionUpdate object will contain an empty array.

    The array of log events contained in a LiveTailSessionUpdate can include as many as 500 log events. If the number of log events matching the request exceeds 500 per second, the log events are sampled down to 500 log events to be included in each LiveTailSessionUpdate object.

    If your client consumes the log events slower than the server produces them, CloudWatch Logs buffers up to 10 LiveTailSessionUpdate events or 5000 log events, after which it starts dropping the oldest events.

  • A SessionStreamingException object is returned if an unknown error occurs on the server side.

  • A SessionTimeoutException object is returned when the session times out, after it has been kept open for three hours.

You can end a session before it times out by closing the session stream or by closing the client that is receiving the stream. The session also ends if the established connection between the client and the server breaks.

For examples of using an SDK to start a Live Tail session, see Start a Live Tail session using an Amazon Web Services SDK.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->startLiveTail([
    'logEventFilterPattern' => '<string>',

]);

Parameter Details

Members
logEventFilterPattern
Type: string

An optional pattern to use to filter the results to include only log events that match the pattern. For example, a filter pattern of error 404 causes only log events that include both error and 404 to be included in the Live Tail stream.

Regular expression filter patterns are supported.

For more information about filter pattern syntax, see Filter and Pattern Syntax.

logGroupIdentifiers
Required: Yes
Type: Array of strings

StartQuery

$result = $client->startQuery([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->startQueryAsync([/* ... */]);

Schedules a query of a log group using CloudWatch Logs Insights. You specify the log group and time range to query and the query string to use.

For more information, see CloudWatch Logs Insights Query Syntax.

After you run a query using StartQuery, the query results are stored by CloudWatch Logs. You can use GetQueryResults to retrieve the results of a query, using the queryId that StartQuery returns.

If you have associated a KMS key with the query results in this account, then StartQuery uses that key to encrypt the results when it stores them. If no key is associated with query results, the query results are encrypted with the default CloudWatch Logs encryption method.

Queries time out after 60 minutes of runtime. If your queries are timing out, reduce the time range being searched or partition your query into a number of queries.

If you are using CloudWatch cross-account observability, you can use this operation in a monitoring account to start a query in a linked source account. For more information, see CloudWatch cross-account observability. For a cross-account StartQuery operation, the query definition must be defined in the monitoring account.

You can have up to 30 concurrent CloudWatch Logs insights queries, including queries that have been added to dashboards.

TagResource

$result = $client->tagResource([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->tagResourceAsync([/* ... */]);

Assigns one or more tags (key-value pairs) to the specified CloudWatch Logs resource. Currently, the only CloudWatch Logs resources that can be tagged are log groups and destinations.

Tags can help you organize and categorize your resources. You can also use them to scope user permissions by granting a user permission to access or change only resources with certain tag values.

Tags don't have any semantic meaning to Amazon Web Services and are interpreted strictly as strings of characters.

You can use the TagResource action with a resource that already has tags. If you specify a new tag key for the alarm, this tag is appended to the list of tags associated with the alarm. If you specify a tag key that is already associated with the alarm, the new tag value that you specify replaces the previous value for that tag.

You can associate as many as 50 tags with a CloudWatch Logs resource.

UpdateAnomaly

$result = $client->updateAnomaly([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->updateAnomalyAsync([/* ... */]);

Use this operation to suppress anomaly detection for a specified anomaly or pattern. If you suppress an anomaly, CloudWatch Logs won't report new occurrences of that anomaly and won't update that anomaly with new data. If you suppress a pattern, CloudWatch Logs won't report any anomalies related to that pattern.

You must specify either anomalyId or patternId, but you can't specify both parameters in the same operation.

If you have previously used this operation to suppress detection of a pattern or anomaly, you can use it again to cause CloudWatch Logs to end the suppression. To do this, use this operation and specify the anomaly or pattern to stop suppressing, and omit the suppressionType and suppressionPeriod parameters.

Parameter Syntax

defaultValue
Type: double

(Optional) The value to emit when a filter pattern does not match a log event. This value can be null.

dimensions
Type: Associative array of custom strings keys (DimensionsKey) to strings

The fields to use as dimensions for the metric. One metric filter can include as many as three dimensions.

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.

CloudWatch Logs disables a metric filter if it generates 1000 different name/value pairs for your specified dimensions within a certain amount of time. This helps to prevent accidental high charges.

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 Amazon Web Services Charges.

inferredTokenName
Type: string

A name that CloudWatch Logs assigned to this dynamic token to make the pattern more readable. The string part of the inferredTokenName gives you a clearer idea of the content of this token. The number part of the inferredTokenName shows where in the pattern this token appears, compared to other dynamic tokens. CloudWatch Logs assigns the string part of the name based on analyzing the content of the log events that contain it.

For example, an inferred token name of IPAddress-3 means that the token represents an IP address, and this token is the third dynamic token in the pattern.

isDynamic
