Merges two adjacent shards that are in the readwrite state. You can specify a shard ID in the request. Then, Log Service locates the adjacent shard and combines the two shards into a single shard.

Usage notes

  • Host consists of a project name and a Log Service endpoint. You must specify a project in Host.
  • Each shard has an MD5 hash range, and each range is a left-closed, right-open interval. The interval is in the [BeginKey,EndKey) format. A shard can be in the readwrite or readonly state. You can split and merge shards. For more information, see Shard.

  • 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.

Debugging

OpenAPI Explorer automatically calculates the signature value. For your convenience, we recommend that you call this operation in OpenAPI Explorer. OpenAPI Explorer dynamically generates the sample code of the operation for different SDKs.

Request headers

The MergeShard operation does not have operation-specific request headers and uses only common request headers. For more information, see Common request parameters.
