This is an asynchronous call. If all the required information is provided, this operation initiates an export task and responds with the ID of the task. After the task has started, you can use DescribeExportTasks to get the status of the export task. Each account can only have one active (RUNNING
or PENDING
) export task at a time. To cancel an export task, use CancelExportTask.
You can export logs from multiple log groups or multiple time ranges to the same S3 bucket. To separate out log data for each export task, you can specify a prefix that will be used as the Amazon S3 key prefix for all exported objects.
