Amazon CloudWatch now offers configuring deletion protection on your CloudWatch log groups, helping customers safeguard their critical logging data from accidental or unintended deletion. This feature provides an additional layer of protection for logs maintaining audit trails, compliance records, and operational logs that must be preserved.
With deletion protection enabled, administrators can prevent unintended deletions of their most important log groups. Once enabled, log groups cannot be deleted until the protection is explicitly turned off, helping safeguard critical operational, security, and compliance data. This protection is particularly valuable for preserving audit logs and production application logs needed for troubleshooting and analysis.
Log group deletion protection is available in all AWS commercial Regions.
You can enable deletion protection during log group creation or on existing log groups using the Amazon CloudWatch console, AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK), and AWS SDKs. For more information, visit the Amazon CloudWatch Logs User Guide..
