Creating a Log Group

• Console
• CLI
• API

• 1. Open the navigation menu  and select Observability & Management. Under Logging, select Log Groups.
  2. Under List scope, select a compartment you have permission to work in.
  3. Click Create Log Group.
  4. In the Create Log Group panel, enter the following values:
     • Compartment: The compartment in which you want to create the log group. This field is already filled in based on your compartment choice in step 2.

     • Name: A name for this log group. The first character of a log group name must be a letter. For more information, see Log and Log Group Names. Avoid entering confidential information.

     • Description: A friendly description.
     • Optionally, enter tagging information.

  5. Click Create.

     The log group is created and the details page for it opens. On this page, you can perform the following actions:

     • Edit the group
     • Move the group to a different compartment
     • Add tags
     • Delete the log group
     • View log group information and tags
     • View log group resources (explore the log group, view the logs included in the log group, create custom or service logs, and view metrics)

       The Metrics resource in a log group detail page functions the same as in a log detail page. See Getting a Log's Details for more information.
