The name of a new or existing CloudWatch Logs log group where Amazon EC2 publishes your flow logs.

This parameter is valid only if the destination type is cloud-watch-logs.

This parameter is required if the destination type is cloud-watch-logs and unsupported otherwise.

The fields to include in the flow log record. List the fields in the order in which they should appear. If you omit this parameter, the flow log is created using the default format. If you specify this parameter, you must include at least one field. For more information about the available fields, see Flow log records in the Amazon VPC User Guide or Transit Gateway Flow Log records in the Amazon Web Services Transit Gateway Guide.

Specify the fields using the ${field-id} format, separated by spaces. For the CLI, surround this parameter value with single quotes on Linux or double quotes on Windows.

The ARN of the IAM role that allows Amazon EC2 to publish flow logs across accounts.

The destination for the flow log data. The meaning of this parameter depends on the destination type.

• If the destination type is cloud-watch-logs, specify the ARN of a CloudWatch Logs log group. For example:

  arn:aws:logs:region:account_id:log-group:my_group

  Alternatively, use the LogGroupName parameter.

• If the destination type is s3, specify the ARN of an S3 bucket. For example:

  arn:aws:s3:::my_bucket/my_subfolder/

  The subfolder is optional. Note that you can't use AWSLogs as a subfolder name.
