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

Creates an account-level data protection policy, subscription filter policy, field index policy, transformer policy, or metric extraction policy that applies to all log groups, a subset of log groups, or a data source name and type combination in the account

Description

Creates an account-level data protection policy, subscription filter policy, field index policy, transformer policy, or metric extraction policy that applies to all log groups, a subset of log groups, or a data source name and type combination in the account. Account-level policies are Region-specific: a policy applies only to log groups in the Region where you create it. To apply a policy across multiple Regions, create the policy separately in each Region.

Usage

cloudwatchlogs_put_account_policy(
  policyName,
  policyDocument,
  policyType,
  scope = NULL,
  selectionCriteria = NULL
)

Arguments

policyName	[required] A name for the policy. This must be unique within the account and cannot start with ⁠aws/⁠.
policyDocument	[required] 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 put_destination, 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. Transformer policy A transformer policy must include one JSON block with the array of processors and their configurations. For more information about available processors, see Processors that you can use. Field index policy A field index filter policy can include the following attribute in a JSON block: Fields The array of field indexes to create. FieldsV2 The object of field indexes to create along with it's type. It must contain at least one field index. The following is an example of an index policy document that creates indexes with different types. ⁠"policyDocument": "{ \"Fields\": [ \"TransactionId\" ], \"FieldsV2\": {\"RequestId\": {\"type\": \"FIELD_INDEX\"}, \"APIName\": {\"type\": \"FACET\"}, \"StatusCode\": {\"type\": \"FACET\"}}}"⁠ You can use FieldsV2 to specify the type for each field. Supported types are FIELD_INDEX and FACET. Field names within Fields and FieldsV2 must be mutually exclusive.
policyType	[required] The type of policy that you're creating or updating.
scope	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	Use this parameter to apply the new policy to a subset of log groups in the account or a data source name and type combination. Specifying selectionCriteria is valid only when you specify SUBSCRIPTION_FILTER_POLICY, FIELD_INDEX_POLICY or TRANSFORMER_POLICYfor policyType. If policyType is SUBSCRIPTION_FILTER_POLICY, the only supported selectionCriteria filter is ⁠LogGroupName NOT IN []⁠ If policyType is TRANSFORMER_POLICY, the only supported selectionCriteria filter is LogGroupNamePrefix If policyType is FIELD_INDEX_POLICY, the supported selectionCriteria filters are: LogGroupNamePrefix DataSourceName AND DataSourceType When you specify selectionCriteria for a field index policy you can use either LogGroupNamePrefix by itself or DataSourceName and DataSourceType together. The selectionCriteria string can be up to 25KB in length. The length is determined by using its UTF-8 bytes. Using the selectionCriteria parameter with SUBSCRIPTION_FILTER_POLICY is useful to help prevent infinite loops. For more information, see Log recursion prevention.
