I have this CDK code:
const logGroup = new LogGroup(this, 'MyAppLogGroup', {
logGroupName: 'myapp',
retention: RetentionDays.ONE_DAY
});
When I run cdk deploy, log group is created in CloudWatch, but when I run cdk destroy, it's not deleted. Is there some way to enable this?
See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/latest/docs/@aws-cdk_aws-logs.LogGroup.html#removalpolicy. You need to set the removalPolicy of the LogGroup to DESTROY as the default one is RETAIN
Milan is 100% correct here, I'm just adding some example and more details about how to do it..
import * as cdk from "@aws-cdk/core";
const accessLogGroup = new LogGroup(this, 'MyAppLogGroup', {
logGroupName: 'myapp',
retention: RetentionDays.ONE_DAY,
// This does the work:
removalPolicy: core.RemovalPolicy.DESTROY
});
