• If the destination type is cloud-watch-logs, specify the ARN of a CloudWatch Logs log group. For example: arn:aws:logs:region:account_id:log-group:my_group Alternatively, use the LogGroupName parameter.
• If the destination type is s3, specify the ARN of an S3 bucket. For example: arn:aws:s3:::my_bucket/my_subfolder/ The subfolder is optional. Note that you can't use AWSLogs as a subfolder name.
