How to enable Cloudwatch Logs for API Gateway using Cloudformation?

Question

Hi I'm trying to enable Cloudwatch logs in API Gateway using Cloudformation. However, I do not find the the documentation to do so. All I can find is Logginglevel in the official documentation which doesn't seem to be the solution.

For context I'm looking to achieve this using Cloudformation but don't know how to. Please help.

Answer 1

These log settings are set using MethodSetting :

• DataTraceEnabled - is for "Log full requests..."
• LoggingLevel is for "Log level"
• MetricsEnabled is for "Enable detailed CloudWatch metrics"
