use kirubha7\CloudwatchLogsLaravel\Cloudwatchlogs;
use Aws\CloudWatchLogs\CloudWatchLogsClient;

$client = [
    'region' => 'AWS_REGION',
    'version' => '2014-03-28',
    'credentials' => [
        'key' => 'AWS_KEY',
        'secret' => 'AWS_SECRET',
    ]
];
$client  = new CloudWatchLogsClient($client);//Intialize AWS Clinet
$logs = new Cloudwatchlogs($client);
try{

	//YOUR CONTEXT 
    $datas = [
        'test' => 'package',
        'version' => 1,
    ];
    $retentionDays = 30;//By Default retention days upto 14 days

    /**
      Generally putLog function returns associate array
      If Logs sends successfully => ['status' => true,'message' => 'Log sended successfully']
      If Logs failed to sends => ['status' => false,'error' => 'EXCEPTION_MESSAGE']
    */
    $res = $logs->putLog('YOUR_LOGGROUP_NAME','YOUR_LOGSTREAM_NAME',$retentionDays,$datas);

    if($res['status']){//If log sends successfully
        echo $res['message'];
    }else{//If log fails to sends
        echo $res['error'];
    }
    
}catch(\Exception $e){

      If Logs group exists => ['status' => true,'message' => 'Log Group Exists']
      If Logs group not exists => ['status' => false,'error' => 'EXCEPTION_MESSAGE']
    */

    $res = $logs->checkLogGroupExists('YOUR_LOG_GROUP_NAME');

    if($res['status']){//If log group is exists
        echo $res['message'];
    }else{//If log group not exists
        echo $res['error'];

      If Logs stream not exists => ['status' => false,'error' => 'EXCEPTION_MESSAGE']
    */
    
    $res = $logs->checkLogStreamExists('YOUR_LOG_STREAM_NAME');

    if($res['status']){//If log stream is exists
        echo $res['message'];
    }else{//If log stream not exists
        echo $res['error'];

<?php
    /**
      Generally createLogGroup function returns associate array
      If Logs group created successfully => ['status' => true,'message' => 'Log Group Created Successfully']
      If Logs group fails to create  => ['status' => false,'error' => 'EXCEPTION_MESSAGE']
    */

    $res = $logs->createLogGroup('YOUR_LOG_GROUP_NAME');

    if($res['status']){//If log group created successfully

AWS IAM needed permissions

if you prefer to use a separate programmatic IAM user (recommended) or want to define a policy, make sure following permissions are included:

1. CreateLogGroup aws docs
2. CreateLogStream aws docs
3. PutLogEvents aws docs
4. PutRetentionPolicy aws docs
5. DescribeLogStreams aws docs
6. DescribeLogGroups aws docs

When setting the $createGroup argument to false, permissions DescribeLogGroups and CreateLogGroup can be omitted

AWS IAM Policy full json example

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "logs:CreateLogGroup",
                "logs:DescribeLogGroups"
            ],
            "Resource": "*"
        },
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "logs:CreateLogStream",
                "logs:DescribeLogStreams",
                "logs:PutRetentionPolicy"
            ],
