CloudWatch Logs Support

Describe the resource.

Use Case

I am gathering information about the current account workload and need to know how many log groups and streams are set up. Thank you!

Additional context

The following should be implemented to retrieve information about the log groups and logs in the account:

• AWS::Logs::LogGroup #1306
• AWS::Logs::LogStream #1307

@deep-spaced - Do you think that we should support fetching individual cloudwatch log streams or just the groups? Interested in understanding your use case to see if you think it is a justified (potential) performance hit

[deep-spaced]

@bbernays My use case is to figure out all the different pieces of the workload in the account which includes logs. My initial thought was to include streams but the first time I pulled logs AND streams from my test account, I pulled 80k streams. This is just too much noise since I don't care about the individual days, just that there is cloud logging occurring.

In other words, knowing that there are 8 log groups is more important that knowing there are 80 log streams (one stream for each of the 10 prior days using daily log rotation).

Thank you!

[bbernays]

Completely agree. Especially for users that use Lambda, where each ephemeral container creates its own log stream. So I will close the issue for adding cloudwatch streams

@bbernays saw your PR in #1321, should I close my PR #1317?

[bbernays]

if you want to incorporate the gen.hcl file that enables automating the generation of the resource via this I am more than happy to close my branch!

That's pretty cool, @bbernays! Updated with gen.hcl.
