**To create a logger definition**

The following ``create-logger-definition`` example creates a logger definition that contains an initial logger definition version. The initial version defines three logging configurations: 1) system component logs on the file system of the core device, 2) user-defined Lambda function logs on the file system of the core device, and 3) user-defined Lambda function logs in Amazon CloudWatch Logs. Note: For CloudWatch Logs integration, your group role must grant appropriate permissions. ::

    aws greengrass create-logger-definition \
        --name "LoggingConfigs" \
        --initial-version "{\"Loggers\":[{\"Id\":\"1\",\"Component\":\"GreengrassSystem\",\"Level\":\"ERROR\",\"Space\":10240,\"Type\":\"FileSystem\"},{\"Id\":\"2\",\"Component\":\"Lambda\",\"Level\":\"INFO\",\"Space\":10240,\"Type\":\"FileSystem\"},{\"Id\":\"3\",\"Component\":\"Lambda\",\"Level\":\"INFO\",\"Type\":\"AWSCloudWatch\"}]}"

Output::
