# Creating a rule with a Yandex Cloud Logging target

{% list tabs group=instructions %}

- Management console {#console}

  1. In the [management console](https://console.yandex.cloud), select the folder where you want to create a [rule](../../../concepts/eventrouter/rule.md).
  1. Navigate to **Serverless Integrations**.
  1. In the left-hand panel, click ![image](../../../../_assets/console-icons/object-align-center-vertical.svg) **EventRouter**.
  1. Select the [bus](../../../concepts/eventrouter/bus.md) you need.
  1. Navigate to the ![image](../../../../_assets/console-icons/target-dart.svg) **Rules** tab.
  1. In the top-right corner, click **Create rule**.

  1. Optionally, expand the **Filter** section and enter a [jq template](https://jqlang.github.io/jq/manual/) to [filter](../../../concepts/eventrouter/rule.md#filter) events.
  1. Under **Targets**, click **Add** and configure the target:

      1. Specify `Yandex Cloud Logging` as the target type.
      1. Select the [log group](../../../../logging/concepts/log-group.md) or [folder](../../../../resource-manager/concepts/resources-hierarchy.md#folder) to receive the messages matching the rule. If you selected a folder, the messages will be sent to the default log group for this folder.
      1. Select the [service account](../../../../iam/concepts/users/service-accounts.md) which has the `logging.writer` [role](../../../../logging/security/index.md#logging-writer) or higher for the selected log group or [create](../../../../iam/operations/sa/create.md) a new account.
      1. Optionally, click ![plus](../../../../_assets/console-icons/plus.svg) **Repeat send settings** and specify:
         
         * **Number of attempts**: Number of message retries before EventRouter moves the messages to the dead-letter queue (DLQ). Valid values range from 0 to 1,000. The default value is 3.
         * **Interval, h**: Time, in hours, before a retry attempt to send the messages if the current attempt fails. Valid values range from 0 to 60 hours. The default value is 10.
      1. (Optional) Open the **Transformer** field and enter a [jq template](https://jqlang.github.io/jq/manual/) to transform events. If no template is specified, the event will not be transformed.
      1. (Optional) Expand the **Dead Letter settings** section:
         
         1. Specify the `Yandex Message Queue` listener type.
         1. Specify a folder or DLQ to which messages the target failed to process will be redirected.
         1. Select the service account to which the `ymq.writer` [role](../../../../message-queue/security/index.md#ymq-writer) or higher is assigned for the selected DLQ or [create](../../../../iam/operations/sa/create.md) a new account.

  1. Expand **Additional parameters**:
     
     
     1. Specify the rule name and description. Follow these naming requirements:
     
         * The name must be from 3 to 63 characters long.
         * It may contain uppercase and lowercase Latin and Cyrillic letters, numbers, hyphens, underscores, and spaces.
         * The first character must be a letter. The last character cannot be a hyphen, underscore, or space.
     
     1. Optionally, add labels:
     
         * Click **Add label**.
         * Enter a label in `key: value` format.
         * Press **Enter**.
     
     1. Optionally, enable deletion protection. You cannot delete a rule with this option enabled.
  1. Click **Create**.

- CLI {#cli}

  If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, [install and initialize it](../../../../cli/quickstart.md#install).

  The folder used by default is the one specified when [creating](../../../../cli/operations/profile/profile-create.md) the CLI profile. To change the default folder, use the `yc config set folder-id <folder_ID>` command. You can also specify a different folder for any command using `--folder-name` or `--folder-id`. If you access a resource by its name, the search will be limited to the default folder. If you access a resource by its ID, the search will be global, i.e., through all folders based on access permissions.

  1. See the description of the CLI command for creating a [rule](../../../concepts/eventrouter/rule.md):

      ```bash
      yc serverless eventrouter rule create --help
      ```

  1. Create a rule with a Yandex Cloud Logging target:

      ```bash
      yc serverless eventrouter rule create \
        --bus-id <bus_ID> \
        --filter '<jq_template>' \
        --logging-target \
      log-group-id=<log_group_ID>,\
      service-account-id=<queue_service_account>,\
      retry-attempts=<number_of_attempts>,\
      maximum-age=<interval>,\
      transformer=<jq_template>,\
      dlq-arn=<DLQ>,\
      dlq-service-account-id=<DLQ_service_account_ID> \
        --name <rule_name> \
        --description "<rule_description>" \
        --deletion-protection \
        --labels <label_list>
      ```

      Where:

      * `--bus-id`: EventRouter [bus](../../../concepts/eventrouter/bus.md) ID.
      * `--filter`: [jq template](https://jqlang.github.io/jq/manual/) for event [filtering](../../../concepts/eventrouter/rule.md#filter).

      * `--logging-target`: Parameter used to configure the `Yandex Cloud Logging` target and its properties:

          * `log-group-id`: ID of the [log group](../../../../logging/concepts/log-group.md) to receive the messages matching the rule.

              You can specify the `folder-id` parameter with network IDs instead of `log-group-id`. In this case, the messages will be sent to the default log group for the folder whose `folder-id` you specified.

          * `service-account-id`: ID of the [service account](../../../../iam/concepts/users/service-accounts.md) which has the `logging.writer` [role](../../../../logging/security/index.md#logging-writer) or higher for the selected log group.


          * `retry-attempts`: Number of message retries before EventRouter moves the messages to the dead-letter queue (DLQ). Valid values range from 0 to 1,000. This is an optional parameter.
          * `maximum-age`: Time interval before a retry attempt to send the messages if the current attempt fails. Valid values range from 0 to 60 hours. This is an optional parameter.

          * `transformer`: [jq template](https://jqlang.github.io/jq/manual/) to transform events. If no template is specified, the event will not be transformed. This is an optional parameter.


          * `dlq-arn`: ARN of the DLQ to which messages that the target could not process will be redirected. This is an optional parameter.
          * `dlq-service-account-id`: ID of the service account to which the `ymq.writer` [role](../../../../message-queue/security/index.md#ymq-writer) or higher is assigned for the selected DLQ. This is an optional parameter.

      * `--name`: Rule name. Follow these naming requirements:
      
          * The name must be from 3 to 63 characters long.
          * It may contain uppercase and lowercase Latin and Cyrillic letters, numbers, hyphens, underscores, and spaces.
          * The first character must be a letter. The last character cannot be a hyphen, underscore, or space.
      
      * `--description`: Rule description. This is an optional parameter.
      * `--deletion-protection`: Rule deletion protection. By default, protection is disabled. You cannot delete a rule with this option enabled. To disable deletion protection, specify `--no-deletion-protection`. This is an optional parameter.
      * `--labels`: List of labels. This is an optional parameter.
      
          You can specify one or more labels separated by commas in `<key1>=<value1>,<key2>=<value2>` format.

- Terraform {#tf}

  With [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/), you can quickly create a cloud infrastructure in Yandex Cloud and manage it using configuration files. These files store the infrastructure description written in HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL). If you change the configuration files, Terraform automatically detects which part of your configuration is already deployed, and what should be added or removed.
  
  Terraform is distributed under the [Business Source License](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/blob/main/LICENSE). The [Yandex Cloud provider for Terraform](https://github.com/yandex-cloud/terraform-provider-yandex) is distributed under the [MPL-2.0](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/2.0/) license.
  
  For more information about the provider resources, see the guides on the [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/yandex/index.html) website or [its mirror](../../../../terraform/index.md).

  If you do not have Terraform yet, [install it and configure the Yandex Cloud provider](../../../../tutorials/infrastructure-management/terraform-quickstart.md#install-terraform).
  
  
  To manage infrastructure using Terraform under a service account or user accounts (a Yandex account, a federated account, or a local user), [authenticate](../../../../terraform/authentication.md) using the appropriate method.

  To create a [rule](../../../concepts/eventrouter/rule.md) with a Yandex Cloud Logging target:

  1. In the configuration file, describe the resources you want to create:

      ```hcl
      resource "yandex_serverless_eventrouter_rule" "example_rule" {
        bus_id    = "<bus_ID>"
        jq_filter = "<jq_template>"

        logging {
          log_group_id       = "<log_group_ID>"
          service_account_id = "<service_account_ID>"
        }
      
        name        = "<rule_name>"
        description = "<rule_description>"

        labels = {
          <key_1> = "<value_1>"
          <key_2> = "<value_2>"
          ...
          <key_n> = "<value_n>"
        }
      }
      ```

      Where:

      * `bus_id`: EventRouter [bus](../../../concepts/eventrouter/bus.md) ID.
      * `jq_filter`: [jq template](https://jqlang.github.io/jq/manual/) for event [filtering](../../../concepts/eventrouter/rule.md#filter).
      * `logging`: Section to configure the `Yandex Cloud Logging` target and its parameters:

          * `log_group_id`: ID of the [log group](../../../../logging/concepts/log-group.md) to receive the messages matching the rule.

              You can specify the `folder_id` parameter instead of `log_group_id`. In this case, the messages will be sent to the default log group for the folder whose `folder-id` you specified.

          * `service_account_id`: ID of the [service account](../../../../iam/concepts/users/service-accounts.md) which has the `logging.writer` [role](../../../../logging/security/index.md#logging-writer) or higher for the selected log group.

      * `name`: Rule name. The naming requirements are as follows:
      
          * The name must be from 3 to 63 characters long.
          * It may contain uppercase and lowercase Latin and Cyrillic letters, numbers, hyphens, underscores, and spaces.
          * The first character must be a letter. The last character cannot be a hyphen, underscore, or space.
      
      * `description`: Rule description. This is an optional parameter.
      * `labels`: List of labels. Provide labels in `<key> = "<value>"` format. This is an optional parameter.

      For more on the properties of the `yandex_serverless_eventrouter_rule` resource, see [this provider guide](../../../../terraform/resources/serverless_eventrouter_rule.md).

  1. Create the resources:

      1. In the terminal, navigate to the configuration file directory.
      1. Make sure the configuration is correct using this command:
      
         ```bash
         terraform validate
         ```
      
         If the configuration is valid, you will get this message:
      
         ```bash
         Success! The configuration is valid.
         ```
      
      1. Run this command:
      
         ```bash
         terraform plan
         ```
      
         You will see a list of resources and their properties. No changes will be made at this step. Terraform will show any errors in the configuration.
      1. Apply the configuration changes:
      
         ```bash
         terraform apply
         ```
      
      1. Type `yes` and press **Enter** to confirm the changes.

      Terraform will create all the required resources. You can check the new resources in the [management console](https://console.yandex.cloud) or using this [CLI](../../../../cli/index.md) command:

      ```bash
      yc serverless eventrouter rule list
      ```

- API {#api}

  To create a [rule](../../../concepts/eventrouter/rule.md) with a Yandex Cloud Logging target, use the [Create](../../../eventrouter/api-ref/Rule/create.md) REST API method for the [rule](../../../eventrouter/api-ref/Rule/index.md) resource or the [rule/Create](../../../eventrouter/api-ref/grpc/Rule/create.md) gRPC API call.

{% endlist %}

All newly created rules are enabled by default. To stop events matching the rule from being routed to the target, [disable](disable.md) the rule.
