Description

It is/was not clear from the documentation that WAF require the CloudWatch log group to start with aws-waf-logs-!

The documentation DO say:

  name = "aws-waf-logs-some-uniq-suffix"

But it was not clear that it HAVE to start with that prefix. A small note about this would be appreciated.

A comment above that line would suffice. Something like:

resource "aws_cloudwatch_log_group" "example" {
  # NOTE: Must start with `aws-waf-logs-`!
  name = "aws-waf-logs-some-uniq-suffix"
}
