Options

--layer-id (string)

The layer ID.

--name (string)

The layer name, which is used by the console. Layer names can be a maximum of 32 characters.

--shortname (string)

For custom layers only, use this parameter to specify the layer's short name, which is used internally by OpsWorks Stacks and by Chef. The short name is also used as the name for the directory where your app files are installed. It can have a maximum of 32 characters and must be in the following format: /A[a-z0-9-_.]+Z/.

Built-in layer short names are defined by OpsWorks Stacks. For more information, see the Layer reference in the OpsWorks User Guide.

--attributes (map)

One or more user-defined key/value pairs to be added to the stack attributes.

--cloud-watch-logs-configuration (structure)

Specifies CloudWatch Logs configuration options for the layer. For more information, see CloudWatchLogsLogStream .

Enabled -> (boolean)

Whether CloudWatch Logs is enabled for a layer.

LogStreams -> (list)

A list of configuration options for CloudWatch Logs.

(structure)

Describes the CloudWatch Logs configuration for a layer. For detailed information about members of this data type, see the CloudWatch Logs Agent Reference .

LogGroupName -> (string)

Specifies the destination log group. A log group is created automatically if it doesn't already exist. Log group names can be between 1 and 512 characters long. Allowed characters include a-z, A-Z, 0-9, '_' (underscore), '-' (hyphen), '/' (forward slash), and '.' (period).

DatetimeFormat -> (string)

Specifies how the time stamp is extracted from logs. For more information, see the CloudWatch Logs Agent Reference .

TimeZone -> (string)

Specifies the time zone of log event time stamps.

File -> (string)

Specifies log files that you want to push to CloudWatch Logs.

File can point to a specific file or multiple files (by using wild card characters such as /var/log/system.log* ). Only the latest file is pushed to CloudWatch Logs, based on file modification time. We recommend that you use wild card characters to specify a series of files of the same type, such as access_log.2014-06-01-01 , access_log.2014-06-01-02 , and so on by using a pattern like access_log.* . Don't use a wildcard to match multiple file types, such as access_log_80 and access_log_443 . To specify multiple, different file types, add another log stream entry to the configuration file, so that each log file type is stored in a different log group.

Zipped files are not supported.

FileFingerprintLines -> (string)

Specifies the range of lines for identifying a file. The valid values are one number, or two dash-delimited numbers, such as '1', '2-5'. The default value is '1', meaning the first line is used to calculate the fingerprint. Fingerprint lines are not sent to CloudWatch Logs unless all specified lines are available.

MultiLineStartPattern -> (string)

Specifies the pattern for identifying the start of a log message.

InitialPosition -> (string)

Specifies where to start to read data (start_of_file or end_of_file). The default is start_of_file. This setting is only used if there is no state persisted for that log stream.

Encoding -> (string)

Specifies the encoding of the log file so that the file can be read correctly. The default is utf_8 . Encodings supported by Python codecs.decode() can be used here.

BufferDuration -> (integer)

Specifies the time duration for the batching of log events. The minimum value is 5000ms and default value is 5000ms.

BatchCount -> (integer)

Specifies the max number of log events in a batch, up to 10000. The default value is 1000.

BatchSize -> (integer)

Specifies the maximum size of log events in a batch, in bytes, up to 1048576 bytes. The default value is 32768 bytes. This size is calculated as the sum of all event messages in UTF-8, plus 26 bytes for each log event.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal's quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

To update a layer

The following example updates a specified layer to use Amazon EBS-optimized instances.
