Step 1: Creating Log Groups and Log Streams

Prerequisites

You have obtained the username and password for logging in to the console.

Creating a Log Group

1. Log in to the LTS console. On the Log Management page, click Create Log Group.

2. In the dialog box displayed, enter a log group name.

   

   

   Collected logs are sent to the log streams of the corresponding log groups. If there are a large number of logs, name log groups and log streams in an easily identifiable way so that you can quickly find the logs you desire.

   A log group name:

   • Can contain only letters, numbers, underscores (_), hyphens (-), and periods (.). The name cannot start with a period or underscore, or end with a period.
   • Can contain 1 to 64 characters.
3. Set Log Retention Duration to 1 to 30 days. If this parameter is not specified, logs are retained for 7 days by default.
4. Enter remarks as required.
5. Click OK.

2. Click Create Log Stream.
