Logs Not Reflecting in AWS CloudWatch

Question

Logs were configured to be sent to AWS CloudWatch. However, they are not loading into AWS CloudWatch.

Environment

Logs: AWS CloudWatch

Answer

Make sure that the log group name matches what you have defined in AWS.

Cause

validation error detected: Value 'arn:aws:logs:xxxx:log-group:xxxx:\*' at 'logGroupName' failed to satisfy constraint: Member must satisfy regular expression pattern: \[\\.\\-\_/#A-Za-z0-9\]+

The correct value is as follows (without the asterisk '*'): arn:aws:logs:xxxx:log-group:xxxx.

NOTE: The log group name should follow the ^[.\-_/#A-Za-z0-9]+$ pattern.
