Creates a consumer group for a specified Logstore.
Usage notes
- Host consists of a project name and a Log Service endpoint. You must specify a project in Host.
- You can create up to 30 consumer groups for a Logstore. The name of a consumer group must be unique in a project.
An AccessKey pair is created and obtained. For more information, see AccessKey pair.
The AccessKey pair of an Alibaba Cloud account has permissions on all API operations. Using these credentials to perform operations in Log Service is a high-risk operation. We recommend that you use a RAM user to call API operations or perform routine O&M. To create a RAM user, log on to the RAM console. Make sure that the RAM user has the management permissions on Log Service resources. For more information, see Create a RAM user and authorize the RAM user to access Log Service.
- The information that is required to query logs is obtained. The information includes the name of the project to which the logs belong, the region of the project, and the name of the Logstore to which the logs belong. For more information, see Manage a project and Manage a Logstore.
- Log Service provides examples of both regular log consumption and consumer group-based log consumption by using Log Service SDK for Java. For more information, see Consume log data and Use consumer groups to consume log data.
