Log Groups

A log group is a group of log streams. Up to 100 log groups can be created for a single account.

Prerequisites

You have obtained an account and its password for logging in to the console.

Creating a Log Group

Log in to the LTS console. On the Log Management page, click Create Log Group.
In the dialog box displayed, enter a log group name.
- Collected logs are sent to the log group. If there are too many logs to collect, separate logs into different log groups based on log types, and name log groups in an easily identifiable way.
- The log name can contain 1 to 64 characters, including only letters, digits, hyphens (-), underscores (_), and periods (.). It cannot start with a period or underscore or end with a period.
Set Log Retention Duration. You can set it to 1 to 30 days.
Enter remarks. The value contains 0 to 1024 characters.
Click OK.
- In the log group list, you can view information such as the log group name, tags, and log streams.
- Click the log group name, the details page of one of its log streams is displayed.
- When multiple log groups are created concurrently, there may be a limit exceeding error.

Deleting a Log Group

You can delete a log group that is no longer needed. Deleting a log group will also delete the log streams and log data in the log group. Deleted log groups cannot be recovered. Exercise caution when performing the deletion.

If you want to delete a log group that is associated with a log transfer task, delete the task first.

In the log group list on the Log Management page, locate the target log group and click Delete in the Operation column.
Enter DELETE and click OK.
