2025/05/20 - CloudWatch Observability Access Manager - 3 updated api methods
Changes Add IncludeTags field to GetLink, GetSink and UpdateLink API
{'IncludeTags': 'boolean'}
Returns complete information about one link.
To use this operation, provide the link ARN. To retrieve a list of link ARNs, use ListLinks.
See also: AWS API Documentation
Request Syntax
client.get_link( Identifier='string', IncludeTags=True|False )
string
[REQUIRED]
The ARN of the link to retrieve information for.
boolean
Specifies whether to include the tags associated with the link in the response. When IncludeTags is set to true and the caller has the required permission, oam:ListTagsForResource, the API will return the tags for the specified resource. If the caller doesn't have the required permission, oam:ListTagsForResource, the API will raise an exception.
The default value is false.

This structure includes filters that specify which metric namespaces and which log groups are shared from the source account to the monitoring account.
LogGroupConfiguration (dict) --
Use this structure to filter which log groups are to send log events from the source account to the monitoring account.
Filter (string) --
Use this field to specify which log groups are to share their log events with the monitoring account. Use the term LogGroupName and one or more of the following operands. Use single quotation marks (') around log group names. The matching of log group names is case sensitive. Each filter has a limit of five conditional operands. Conditional operands are AND and OR.
= and !=
AND
OR
LIKE and NOT LIKE. These can be used only as prefix searches. Include a % at the end of the string that you want to search for and include.
IN and NOT IN, using parentheses ( )
Examples:
LogGroupName IN ('This-Log-Group', 'Other-Log-Group') includes only the log groups with names This-Log-Group and Other-Log-Group.
LogGroupName NOT IN ('Private-Log-Group', 'Private-Log-Group-2') includes all log groups except the log groups with names Private-Log-Group and Private-Log-Group-2.

Use this field to specify which metrics are to be shared with the monitoring account. Use the term Namespace and one or more of the following operands.

{'IncludeTags': 'boolean'}
Returns complete information about one monitoring account sink.
To use this operation, provide the sink ARN. To retrieve a list of sink ARNs, use ListSinks.

Specifies whether to include the tags associated with the sink in the response. When IncludeTags is set to true and the caller has the required permission, oam:ListTagsForResource, the API will return the tags for the specified resource. If the caller doesn't have the required permission, oam:ListTagsForResource, the API will raise an exception.

{'IncludeTags': 'boolean'}
Use this operation to change what types of data are shared from a source account to its linked monitoring account sink. You can't change the sink or change the monitoring account with this operation.
When you update a link, you can optionally specify filters that specify which metric namespaces and which log groups are shared from the source account to the monitoring account.
To update the list of tags associated with the sink, use TagResource.

Request Syntax
client.update_link( Identifier='string', IncludeTags=True|False, LinkConfiguration={ 'LogGroupConfiguration': { 'Filter': 'string' }, 'MetricConfiguration': { 'Filter': 'string' } }, ResourceTypes=[ 'AWS::CloudWatch::Metric'|'AWS::Logs::LogGroup'|'AWS::XRay::Trace'|'AWS::ApplicationInsights::Application'|'AWS::InternetMonitor::Monitor'|'AWS::ApplicationSignals::Service'|'AWS::ApplicationSignals::ServiceLevelObjective', ] )
string
[REQUIRED]
The ARN of the link that you want to update.
boolean
Specifies whether to include the tags associated with the link in the response after the update operation. When IncludeTags is set to true and the caller has the required permission, oam:ListTagsForResource, the API will return the tags for the specified resource. If the caller doesn't have the required permission, oam:ListTagsForResource, the API will raise an exception.
