Simple Log Service provides a large number of API operations. You can call the API operations by using Alibaba Cloud SDKs in OpenAPI Explorer. Simple Log Service has developed Simple Log Service SDKs and Simple Log Service command-line interface (CLI) to meet the requirements on the lightweight log collection from embedded or smart devices.
API integration
Simple Log Service provides API operations to manage resources, such as projects, Logstores, and machine groups. You can call the API operations by using Simple Log Service SDKs in your business system or encapsulating your API requests based on your business requirements. For more information about how to call Alibaba Cloud API operations, see Use OpenAPI.
API versions
API version | Description |
Recommend. For more information, see API overview. |
Endpoints
To minimize latency, we recommend that you select an endpoint based on the region where your Simple Log Service project resides.
For example, the Simple Log Service endpoint for the China (Zhangjiakou) region is cn-zhangjiakou.log.aliyuncs.com. For more information, see Endpoints.
User identities
User identity | Supported |
Yes | |
Yes | |
Yes |
We recommend that you use a Resource Access Management (RAM) user or a RAM role to call API operations. Before you use a RAM user or a RAM role to call API operations, you must grant the required permissions to the RAM user or the RAM role.
Calling methods
Calling method | Supported | Description |
Alibaba Cloud SDKs (recommended) | Yes | For more information, see Alibaba Cloud SDKs. |
No | You cannot use Alibaba Cloud CLI to call the API operations of Simple Log Service. Simple Log Service has developed Simple Log Service CLI. For more information, see Overview of Simple Log Service CLI. | |
Custom encapsulation | Yes | You can encapsulate API requests based on your business requirements. For more information, see Custom encapsulation. |
Usage notes
If an error is returned after you call an API operation, you must check whether the values of the request parameters are valid based on the returned error code. For more information, see Error codes.
You can also visit OpenAPI Errors Troubleshooting to perform self-service diagnostics based on the returned request ID or SDK error information.
Orchestration tool integration
Simple Log Service allows you to call API operations by using common orchestration tools.
Orchestration tool | Supported | Description |
Yes | For more information about supported resource types, see SLS. | |
Yes |
Integration of Simple Log Service SDKs and Simple Log Service CLI
In addition to the resource management capability provided by Alibaba Cloud SDKs, Simple Log Service SDKs are available in multiple programming languages. Simple Log Service also provides a powerful command line tool to help you collect, query, and analyze logs.
For more information about Simple Log Service SDKs, see Overview of Simple Log Service SDKs.
For more information about Simple Log Service CLI, see Overview of Simple Log Service CLI.
Visualization integration
Simple Log Service allows you to call API operations in a visualized manner. For example, you can call API operations on web pages or by using DataV. For more information, see Visualization development.
