In paws.management: 'Amazon Web Services' Management & Governance Services

Returns information about log groups, including data sources that ingest into each log group

Description

Returns information about log groups, including data sources that ingest into each log group. You can return all your log groups or filter the results by prefix. The results are ASCII-sorted by log group name.

See https://www.paws-r-sdk.com/docs/cloudwatchlogs_describe_log_groups/ for full documentation.

Usage

cloudwatchlogs_describe_log_groups(
  accountIdentifiers = NULL,
  logGroupNamePrefix = NULL,
  logGroupNamePattern = NULL,
  nextToken = NULL,
  limit = NULL,
  includeLinkedAccounts = NULL,
  logGroupClass = NULL,
  logGroupIdentifiers = NULL
)

Arguments

accountIdentifiers	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.
logGroupNamePrefix	The prefix to match. logGroupNamePrefix and logGroupNamePattern are mutually exclusive. Only one of these parameters can be passed.
logGroupNamePattern	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 DataLogs, log groups named DataLogs, aws/DataLogs, and GroupDataLogs would match, but datalogs, Data/log/s and Groupdata 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.
nextToken	The token for the next set of items to return. (You received this token from a previous call.)
limit	The maximum number of items returned. If you don't specify a value, the default is up to 50 items.
includeLinkedAccounts	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. The default for this parameter is false.
logGroupClass	Use this parameter to limit the results to only those log groups in the specified log group class. If you omit this parameter, log groups of all classes can be returned. Specifies the log group class for this log group. There are three 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. Use the Delivery log class only for delivering Lambda logs to store in Amazon S3 or Amazon Data Firehose. Log events in log groups in the Delivery class are kept in CloudWatch Logs for only one day. This log class doesn't offer rich CloudWatch Logs capabilities such as CloudWatch Logs Insights queries. For details about the features supported by each class, see Log classes
logGroupIdentifiers	Use this array to filter the list of log groups returned. If you specify this parameter, the only other filter that you can choose to specify is includeLinkedAccounts. If you are using this operation in a monitoring account, you can specify the ARNs of log groups in source accounts and in the monitoring account itself. If you are using this operation in an account that is not a cross-account monitoring account, you can specify only log group names in the same account as the operation.
