Toggling the CloudWatch Service

Enabling the AWS Cloudwatch Integration also enables this service with which you can start or stop the logs from being sent to the AWS CloudWatch Console. The following sections describe how to toggle the CloudWatch service for pausing or continuing log transmission. The toggling can be performed in either the CLI Manager or the Web UI.

Before you begin

Ensure that the valid AWS credentials are configured before toggling the CloudWatch service.
