Allows you to configure a period of retention for which a log group should retain log events.

Syntax


                    put-retention-policy

--log-group-name <value>

--retention-in-days <value>

[--cli-input-json <value>]

[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Syntax Description

--log-group-name (string)

The name of the log group.

--retention-in-days (integer)

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, 1827, and 3653.

--cli-input-json (string)

The 'PutDestination' command supports the ability to accept all of the parameter input from a file using --cli-input-json and performs a service operation on it. The JSON string provided follows the format specified in generate-cli-skeleton.If you provide any input values in the CLI, these values override the JSON values.

Note : You cannot pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string, as it will be taken literally.

generate-cli-skeleton (string)

This parameter either accepts:

input: The generated template includes all input parameters in JSON format and is used as the input argument for the parameter --cli-input-json.
output: The generated template validates all the input parameter and generates the output for the command in JSON format.

Instance:

Objective: To create a retention period of 3 days for a log group called "company-logs".


aws logs put-retention-policy --log-group-name company-logs --retention-in-days 3
