Log Group retention policy update not working

[transadm312]

when creating Log Group for first time retention updated correctly after somedays I updated log retention policy..but retention didn't update in AWS CloudWatch ..

I suspect it didn't reach below line https://github.com/aws/amazon-cloudwatch-logs-for-fluent-bit/blob/mainline/cloudwatch/cloudwatch.go#L593 and return from https://github.com/aws/amazon-cloudwatch-logs-for-fluent-bit/blob/mainline/cloudwatch/cloudwatch.go#L589

because "Log group already exists" is not printing in log

Thanks for your reporting. I think it should still work if you enable the auto_create_group, have you tried it?

yes It is enabled for us. We are also facing the same. The put retention policy is not working when the log group already exist.
