Turning off logging for a trail
When you create a trail, logging is turned on automatically. You can turn off logging for a trail from the trail's details page.
Note
When you turn off logging, existing logs are still stored in the trail's Amazon S3 bucket and continue to incur S3 charges.
For information on S3 pricing, see Amazon S3 pricing
