Managing Log Groups

Prerequisites

Creating a Log Group

1. Log in to the management console and choose Management & Deployment > Log Tank Service. The Log Management page is displayed by default.
2. On the Log Management page, click Create Log Group.
3. On the displayed page, set log group parameters by referring to Table 1.

   Table 1 Log group parameters

   Parameter	Description
   Log Group Name	Enter 1 to 64 characters, including only letters, digits, hyphens (-), underscores (_), and periods (.). Do not start with a period or underscore or end with a period. Collected logs are sent to log streams of the corresponding log groups. 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.
   Enterprise Project Name	Select an enterprise project. You can click View Enterprise Projects to view all enterprise projects. Enterprise projects allow you to manage cloud resources and users by project.
   Log Retention (Days)	Specify the log retention period for the log group, that is, how many days the logs will be stored in LTS after being reported to LTS. By default, logs are retained for 30 days. You can set the retention period to one to 30 days.
   Tag	Tag the log group as required. Click Add Tags, enter a tag key and value, and enable Apply to Log Stream. To add more tags, repeat this step. A maximum of 20 tags can be added. To delete a tag, click Delete in the Operation column of the tag. A tag key can contain up to 128 characters, and a tag value can contain up to 255 characters. A tag key must be unique. If a tag is used by a transfer task, you need to modify the task configuration after deleting the tag.
   Remark	Enter remarks. The value contains up to 1,024 characters.

4. Click OK. The created log group will be displayed in the log group list.
