Simple Log Service:Manage projects

Console

1. Log on to the Simple Log Service console, navigate to the Projects section, and click Create Project.

2. Configure the project.

   1. Region: Select an Alibaba Cloud region based on the location of your log sources and other factors. After a project is created, its region cannot be changed. SLS does not support cross-region project migration. If you want to collect logs from ECS instances, select the same region as the ECS instances. This lets you collect logs over the Alibaba Cloud internal network and accelerates log collection.

   2. Project Name: The name of the project. The name must be globally unique within Alibaba Cloud. After a project is created, its name cannot be changed.

   3. Leave the other parameters at their default values.

API

CreateProject.

Console

Enable the recycle bin feature

1. Log on to the Simple Log Service console. In the Projects section, click the name of the target project.

2. In the Basic Information section of the Project Overview page, enable Recycle Bin.

API

Modify the recycleBinEnabled parameter in the UpdateProject operation.

Console

1. Clear resources before deletion

   • No service linkages:

     • When you enable the log analysis feature for Alibaba Cloud services such as elastic computing, storage, security, and databases, a corresponding project and logstore are automatically created in the SLS console. If you no longer need the logs from an Alibaba Cloud service, you must disable the log analysis feature for that service in the console of that service. Ensure that the project is not associated with other Alibaba Cloud services.

   • No billing dependencies: Ensure any associated paid resources, such as storage plans or provisioned capacity, are released or unsubscribed from.

2. Steps to delete a project

   1. Back up important data (Optional)

      • Back up logstore data: If the project contains log data that you need to retain, you must first export the data using the Download logs feature.

      • Back up configuration information: Record key configurations, such as the project name, storage capacity, and access control settings, to prevent information loss after deletion.

   • Delete the project

     • In the project list, find the project you want to delete and click Delete in the Actions column.

     • In the Delete Project dialog box, enter the project name, select a reason for deletion, and click OK.

       Warning

       After a project is deleted, all log data and configuration information in the project are deleted and cannot be restored. Proceed with caution to prevent data loss.

3. If the recycle bin feature is enabled for a project, find the deleted project on the Recycle Bin Projects tab in the project list. By default, a project is retained in the recycle bin for 7 days, during which you can restore or permanently delete it.

API

DeleteProject.

Console

1. Log on to the Simple Log Service console. In the Projects section, click the name of the target project.

2. In the Basic Information section of the Project Overview page, find Resource Quotas and click Manage. In the Resource Quotas panel, adjust the quota for the desired resource and click Save to submit the application. The modification will take effect in about one hour.

Console

Enable transfer acceleration

1. Log on to the Simple Log Service console. In the Projects section, click the name of the target project.

2. In the Endpoint section of the Project Overview page, find Acceleration Endpoint and click Enable. Read the message in the dialog box and click Modify.

3. After you enable transfer acceleration, the transmission speed is improved when you use Logtail to collect logs or execute data transformation jobs.

API

1. First, call the PutProjectTransferAcceleration operation.

2. To use this feature, you must set the endpoint parameter to an acceleration endpoint. Acceleration endpoints support API access only over HTTP and HTTPS. They do not support other protocols, such as Kafka or gRPC. In scenarios where transfer acceleration is not required, we recommend that you use service endpoints to reduce transmission costs.

       /**
            * This example obtains the AccessKey ID and AccessKey secret from environment variables.
            */String accessId = System.getenv("ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID");
           String accessKey = System.getenv("ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET");
           /**
            * The service endpoint of SLS. Use an acceleration endpoint.
            */String endpoint = "log-global.aliyuncs.com";
           /**
            * Create an SLS client.
            */static Client client = new Client(host, accessId, accessKey);

Console

1. Log on to the Simple Log Service console. In the Projects section, click the name of the target project.

Console

1. Log on to the Simple Log Service console. In the Projects section, click the name of the target project.

2. In the Endpoint section of the Project Overview page, view the domain information for the current project.

3. In the Basic Information section of the Project Overview page, hover over Custom Domain and click Modify. In the Specify Custom Endpoint panel, enter the domain name and click Bind. For more information, see Register a domain name.

4. In the Alibaba Cloud DNS console, create a CNAME record to point your custom domain to the public endpoint. Set Record Value to the Public Endpoint recorded in the SLS Project Overview page. For more information, see CNAME record.
