@sbcd90 @amsiglan Could you look at this documentation for custom log types? I also have a few questions about the "Search custom log types" API:

  1. For the Search custom log types API, what kind of information goes in the "match_all" object? How are the values formatted: separated by commas? I’ve tried names and ids - neither work.
  2. What are the other request fields that can be used with this call? (In addition to "match_all")
  3. This appears to provide results for all log types, not only custom. Any problems just calling it "Search log types" API? Or are we intending users to only process custom log types with it?

Thank you.

Will create a separate PR to address "Search custom log type API" questions. Pushing this to Documentation team review. (this was tech reviewed via direct communications)

A couple of small questions, otherwise LGTM.

After selecting **Create log type** in the **Log types** page, the **Create log type** page opens and provides the necessary fields to create a new log type:
1. Enter a name for the log type.

The log type name supports characters a-z (lower case), 0--9, hyphens, and underscores.

[Amazon Security Lake](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/security-lake/latest/userguide/what-is-security-lake.html) converts security log and event data to the [Open Cybersecurity Schema Framework](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/security-lake/latest/userguide/open-cybersecurity-schema-framework.html) (OCSF) to normalize combined data and facilitate its management. OpenSearch supports ingestion of log data from Security Lake in the OCSF format, and Security Analytics can automatically map fields from OCSF to ECS (the default field-mapping schema).

The Security Lake log types that can be used as log sources for detector creation include CloudTrail, Route 53, and VPC Flow. Given that Route 53 is a log that captures DNS activity, its log type should be specified as **DNS logs** when [defining a detector](#step-1-define-a-detector). Furthermore, because logs such as CloudTrail can conceivably be captured in both raw format and OCSF, it's good practice to name indexes in a way that keeps these logs separate and easily identifiable. This becomes helpful when specifying an index name in any of the APIs associated with Security Analytics.

Why is DNS lowercased and bolded in this context? Is it supposed to match a UI element?

Yes. But this representation is opposed by the PM. UX and front-end dev will eventually replace these log type names with revised names. For the time being, this is the way the log type is represented in the UI.
