 ** Filter **   <a name="OAM-Type-LogGroupConfiguration-Filter"></a>
Use this field to specify which log groups are to share their log events with the monitoring account. Use the term `LogGroupName` and one or more of the following operands. Use single quotation marks (') around log group names. The matching of log group names is case sensitive. Each filter has a limit of five conditional operands. Conditional operands are `AND` and `OR`.  
+  `=` and `!=` 
+  `AND` 
+  `OR` 
+  `LIKE` and `NOT LIKE`. These can be used only as prefix searches. Include a `%` at the end of the string that you want to search for and include.
+  `IN` and `NOT IN`, using parentheses `( )` 
Examples:  
+  `LogGroupName IN ('This-Log-Group', 'Other-Log-Group')` includes only the log groups with names `This-Log-Group` and `Other-Log-Group`.
+  `LogGroupName NOT IN ('Private-Log-Group', 'Private-Log-Group-2')` includes all log groups except the log groups with names `Private-Log-Group` and `Private-Log-Group-2`.
+  `LogGroupName LIKE 'aws/lambda/%' OR LogGroupName LIKE 'AWSLogs%'` includes all log groups that have names that start with `aws/lambda/` or `AWSLogs`.
If you are updating a link that uses filters, you can specify `*` as the only value for the `filter` parameter to delete the filter and share all log groups with the monitoring account.
