# SetBucketLoggingStatus (SOAP API)
<a name="SOAPSetBucketLoggingStatus"></a>

**Note**  
 SOAP APIs for Amazon S3 are not available for new customers, and are approaching End of Life (EOL) on October 31, 2025. We recommend that you use either the REST API or the AWS SDKs. 

 The `SetBucketLoggingStatus` operation updates the logging status for an existing bucket. 

 For a general introduction to this feature, see [Server Logs](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/ServerLogs.html). 

**Example**  
This sample request enables server access logging for the 'mybucket' bucket, and configures the logs to be delivered to 'mylogs' under prefix 'access\$1log-'
