CloudWatch Observability Access Manager

2022/11/28 - CloudWatch Observability Access Manager - 15 new api methods

Changes  Amazon CloudWatch Observability Access Manager is a new service that allows configuration of the CloudWatch cross-account observability feature.

DeleteSink (new) Link ¶

Deletes a sink. You must delete all links to a sink before you can delete that sink.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

client.delete_sink(
    Identifier='string'
)
type Identifier:

string

param Identifier:

[REQUIRED]

The ARN of the sink to delete.

rtype:

dict

returns:

Response Syntax

{}

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

TagResource (new) Link ¶

Assigns one or more tags (key-value pairs) to the specified resource. Both sinks and links can be tagged.

Tags can help you organize and categorize your resources. You can also use them to scope user permissions by granting a user permission to access or change only resources with certain tag values.

Tags don't have any semantic meaning to Amazon Web Services and are interpreted strictly as strings of characters.

You can use the TagResource action with a resource that already has tags. If you specify a new tag key for the alarm, this tag is appended to the list of tags associated with the alarm. If you specify a tag key that is already associated with the alarm, the new tag value that you specify replaces the previous value for that tag.

You can associate as many as 50 tags with a resource.

CreateSink (new) Link ¶

Use this to create a sink in the current account, so that it can be used as a monitoring account in CloudWatch cross-account observability. A sink is a resource that represents an attachment point in a monitoring account. Source accounts can link to the sink to send observability data.

After you create a sink, you must create a sink policy that allows source accounts to attach to it. For more information, see PutSinkPolicy.

Each account can contain one sink. If you delete a sink, you can then create a new one in that account.
