aws-elixir v0.6.0 AWS.Logs View Source

You can use Amazon CloudWatch Logs to monitor, store, and access your log files from Amazon EC2 instances, AWS CloudTrail, or other sources. You can then retrieve the associated log data from CloudWatch Logs using the CloudWatch console, CloudWatch Logs commands in the AWS CLI, CloudWatch Logs API, or CloudWatch Logs SDK.

You can use CloudWatch Logs to:

  • **Monitor logs from EC2 instances in real-time**: You can use CloudWatch Logs to monitor applications and systems using log data. For example, CloudWatch Logs can track the number of errors that occur in your application logs and send you a notification whenever the rate of errors exceeds a threshold that you specify. CloudWatch Logs uses your log data for monitoring; so, no code changes are required. For example, you can monitor application logs for specific literal terms (such as "NullReferenceException") or count the number of occurrences of a literal term at a particular position in log data (such as "404" status codes in an Apache access log). When the term you are searching for is found, CloudWatch Logs reports the data to a CloudWatch metric that you specify.
  • **Monitor AWS CloudTrail logged events**: You can create alarms in CloudWatch and receive notifications of particular API activity as captured by CloudTrail and use the notification to perform troubleshooting.
  • **Archive log data**: You can use CloudWatch Logs to store your log data in highly durable storage. You can change the log retention setting so that any log events older than this setting are automatically deleted. The CloudWatch Logs agent makes it easy to quickly send both rotated and non-rotated log data off of a host and into the log service. You can then access the raw log data when you need it.

associate_kms_key(client, input, options \\ [])

View Source

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.

**Important:** 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](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kms/latest/developerguide/symmetric-asymmetric.html). Note that 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 will receive an InvalidParameterException error.

cancel_export_task(client, input, options \\ [])

View Source

Cancels the specified export task.

The task must be in the PENDING or RUNNING state.

Link to this function

create_export_task(client, input, options \\ [])

View Source

Creates an export task, which allows you to efficiently export data from a log group to an Amazon S3 bucket.

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.

Link to this function

create_log_group(client, input, options \\ [])

View Source

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)
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 will receive an `InvalidParameterException` error. **Important:** 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](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kms/latest/developerguide/symmetric-asymmetric.html).
Link to this function

create_log_stream(client, input, options \\ [])

View Source

Creates a log stream for the specified log group.

There is no limit on the number of log streams that you can create for a log group. There is a limit of 50 TPS on CreateLogStream operations, after which transactions are throttled.

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

  • Log stream names must be unique within the log group.
  • Log stream names can be between 1 and 512 characters long.
  • The ':' (colon) and '*' (asterisk) characters are not allowed.

Additionally, the entire unparsed log event is returned within @message.

Link to this function

get_query_results(client, input, options \\ [])

View Source

Returns the results from the specified query.

Only the fields requested in the query are returned, along with a @ptr field which is the identifier for the log record. You can use the value of @ptr in a GetLogRecord operation to get the full log record.

GetQueryResults does not start a query execution. To run a query, use StartQuery.

If the value of the Status field in the output is Running, this operation returns only partial results. If you see a value of Scheduled or Running for the status, you can retry the operation later to see the final results.

list_tags_log_group(client, input, options \\ [])

View Source

Lists the tags for the specified log group.

Link to this function

put_destination(client, input, options \\ [])

View Source

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.

Link to this function

put_destination_policy(client, input, options \\ [])

View Source

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.

Link to this function

put_log_events(client, input, options \\ [])

View Source

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 may be successful, or one may be rejected.

The batch of events must satisfy the following constraints:

  • The maximum batch size is 1,048,576 bytes, and 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 ordered 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.

Link to this function

put_retention_policy(client, input, options \\ [])

View Source

Sets the retention of the specified log group. A retention policy allows you to configure the number of days for which to retain log events in the specified log group.

Link to this function

put_subscription_filter(client, input, options \\ [])

View Source

Creates or updates a subscription filter and associates it with the specified log group. Subscription filters allow you to subscribe to a real-time stream of log events ingested through PutLogEvents and have them delivered to a specific destination. 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 that belongs to a different account, for cross-account delivery.
  • An Amazon Kinesis Firehose delivery stream that belongs to the same account as the subscription filter, for same-account delivery.
  • An AWS Lambda function that belongs to the same account as the subscription filter, for same-account delivery.
There can only be one subscription filter associated with a log group. If you are updating an existing filter, you must specify the correct name in `filterName`. Otherwise, the call fails because you cannot associate a second filter with a log group.
Link to this function

start_query(client, input, options \\ [])

View Source

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.
