There's more on GitHub. Find the complete example and learn how to set up and run in the Amazon Code Examples Repository.

using System; using System.Threading.Tasks; using Amazon.CloudWatchLogs; using Amazon.CloudWatchLogs.Model; /// <summary> /// Shows how to create an Amazon CloudWatch Logs log group. /// </summary> public class CreateLogGroup { public static async Task Main() { // This client object will be associated with the same AWS Region // as the default user on this system. If you need to use a // different AWS Region, pass it as a parameter to the client // constructor. var client = new AmazonCloudWatchLogsClient(); string logGroupName = "cloudwatchlogs-example-loggroup"; var request = new CreateLogGroupRequest { LogGroupName = logGroupName, }; var response = await client.CreateLogGroupAsync(request); if (response.HttpStatusCode == System.Net.HttpStatusCode.OK) { Console.WriteLine($"Successfully create log group with ID: {logGroupName}."); } else { Console.WriteLine("Could not create log group."); } } }
