Three syntax formats of the Simple Log Service CLI-Simple Log Service(SLS)-阿里云帮助中心

The Simple Log Service command-line interface (CLI) provides three syntax formats that you can use to run subcommands, configure the CLI, and obtain help. This topic describes these syntax formats.

CLI subcommands

You can use Simple Log Service CLI subcommands for basic operations, such as creating projects and Logstores.

Syntax
```
aliyunlog log <subcommand> [parameters | global options]
```
- subcommand: A supported subcommand. For more information, see Subcommand list.
- parameters: The supported parameters. For a list of parameters for each subcommand, see the documentation for that subcommand.
- global parameters: The supported global parameters. For more information, see Global parameters.

Example

The following example shows how to create a project:

aliyunlog log create_project --project_name="project-a" --project_des="project created from cli"

The configure command

You can use this command to configure basic information, such as AccessKey pairs, endpoints, and accounts.

Syntax
```
aliyunlog configure <access_id> <access-key> <endpoint> [<client-name>]
```
Replace <access_id>, <access-key>, and <endpoint> with the AccessKey ID, AccessKey secret, and endpoint that have permissions to manage Simple Log Service. <client-name> is the name of the account that runs the command. For more information, see AccessKey pair and Endpoints.

Example
