Research direction

Locate the Datadog Forwarder CloudFormation class or template and inspect how the CloudWatch log group and existing stack parameters are defined. Verify the AWS LogGroupClass options and determine how the new parameter should control the stack's log group storage class; done means users can select Infrequent Access without changing other log group behavior.

Description

AWS recently announced that Cloudwatch log groups can be set with a new storage class, "infrequent access", which offers a paired down feature set for reduced cost. Adding a parameter to the Datadog Forwarder Cloudformation class to allow users to set a stack's Cloudwatch log group storage class would be appreciated by users looking for cost optimizations.
