Creates or updates a logical delivery destination¶

Description¶

Creates or updates a logical delivery destination. A delivery destination is an Amazon Web Services resource that represents an Amazon Web Services service that logs can be sent to. CloudWatch Logs, Amazon S3, and Firehose are supported as logs delivery destinations and X-Ray as the trace delivery destination.

To configure logs delivery between a supported Amazon Web Services service and a destination, you must do the following:

• Create a delivery source, which is a logical object that represents the resource that is actually sending the logs. For more information, see put_delivery_source.
• Use put_delivery_destination to create a delivery destination in the same account of the actual delivery destination. The delivery destination that you create is a logical object that represents the actual delivery destination.
• If you are delivering logs cross-account, you must use put_delivery_destination_policy in the destination account to assign an IAM policy to the destination. This policy allows delivery to that destination.
• Use create_delivery to create a delivery by pairing exactly one delivery source and one delivery destination. For more information, see create_delivery.

You can configure a single delivery source to send logs to multiple destinations by creating multiple deliveries. You can also create multiple deliveries to configure multiple delivery sources to send logs to the same delivery destination.

Only some Amazon Web Services services support being configured as a delivery source. These services are listed as Supported [V2 Permissions] in the table at Enabling logging from Amazon Web Services services.

If you use this operation to update an existing delivery destination, all the current delivery destination parameters are overwritten with the new parameter values that you specify.

Usage¶

cloudwatchlogs_put_delivery_destination(name, outputFormat,
  deliveryDestinationConfiguration, deliveryDestinationType, roleArn,
  tags)

Arguments¶

• name

  [required] A name for this delivery destination. This name must be unique for all delivery destinations in your account.

• outputFormat

  The format for the logs that this delivery destination will receive.

• deliveryDestinationConfiguration

  A structure that contains the ARN of the Amazon Web Services resource that will receive the logs.

  deliveryDestinationConfiguration is required for CloudWatch Logs, Amazon S3, Firehose log delivery destinations and not required for X-Ray trace delivery destinations. deliveryDestinationType is needed for X-Ray trace delivery destinations but not required for other logs delivery destinations.

• deliveryDestinationType

  The type of delivery destination. This parameter specifies the target service where log data will be delivered. Valid values include:

  • S3 - Amazon S3 for long-term storage and analytics
  • CWL - CloudWatch Logs for centralized log management
  • FH - Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose for real-time data streaming
  • XRAY - Amazon Web Services X-Ray for distributed tracing and application monitoring

  The delivery destination type determines the format and configuration options available for log delivery.

• roleArn

  The ARN of an IAM role in your account that CloudWatch Logs assumes to deliver to this delivery destination. The trust policy of the role must allow CloudWatch Logs to assume it. This parameter is supported only for X-Ray trace delivery destinations.

• tags

  An optional list of key-value pairs to associate with the resource.

  For more information about tagging, see Tagging Amazon Web Services resources

    )
  )
)
