put-subscription-filter

Description

Creates or updates a subscription filter and associates it with the specified log group. With subscription filters, you can subscribe to a real-time stream of log events ingested through PutLogEvents and have them delivered to a specific destination. When log events are sent to the receiving service, they are Base64 encoded and compressed with the GZIP format.

The following destinations are supported for subscription filters:

  • An Amazon Kinesis data stream belonging to the same account as the subscription filter, for same-account delivery.
  • A logical destination created with PutDestination that belongs to a different account, for cross-account delivery. We currently support Kinesis Data Streams and Firehose as logical destinations.
  • An Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream that belongs to the same account as the subscription filter, for same-account delivery.
  • An Lambda function that belongs to the same account as the subscription filter, for same-account delivery.

Each log group can have up to two subscription filters associated with it. If you are updating an existing filter, you must specify the correct name in filterName .

Using regular expressions to create subscription filters is supported. For these filters, there is a quotas of quota of two regular expression patterns within a single filter pattern. There is also a quota of five regular expression patterns per log group. For more information about using regular expressions in subscription filters, see Filter pattern syntax for metric filters, subscription filters, filter log events, and Live Tail .

To perform a PutSubscriptionFilter operation for any destination except a Lambda function, you must also have the iam:PassRole permission.

Options

--log-group-name (string)

The name of the log group.

--filter-name (string)

A name for the subscription filter. If you are updating an existing filter, you must specify the correct name in filterName . To find the name of the filter currently associated with a log group, use DescribeSubscriptionFilters .

--filter-pattern (string)

A filter pattern for subscribing to a filtered stream of log events.

--destination-arn (string)

The ARN of the destination to deliver matching log events to. Currently, the supported destinations are:

  • An Amazon Kinesis stream belonging to the same account as the subscription filter, for same-account delivery.
  • A logical destination (specified using an ARN) belonging to a different account, for cross-account delivery. If you’re setting up a cross-account subscription, the destination must have an IAM policy associated with it. The IAM policy must allow the sender to send logs to the destination. For more information, see PutDestinationPolicy .
  • A Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream belonging to the same account as the subscription filter, for same-account delivery.
  • A Lambda function belonging to the same account as the subscription filter, for same-account delivery.

--role-arn (string)

The ARN of an IAM role that grants CloudWatch Logs permissions to deliver ingested log events to the destination stream. You don’t need to provide the ARN when you are working with a logical destination for cross-account delivery.

--distribution (string)

The method used to distribute log data to the destination. By default, log data is grouped by log stream, but the grouping can be set to random for a more even distribution. This property is only applicable when the destination is an Amazon Kinesis data stream.

Possible values:

  • Random
  • ByLogStream

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command’s default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json
  • text
  • table
  • yaml
  • yaml-stream

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

  • on
  • off
  • auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-binary-format (string)

The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.

  • base64
  • raw-in-base64-out

--no-cli-pager (boolean)

Disable cli pager for output.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

--no-cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Disable automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

Output

None
