AWS AmazonCloudWatch documentation change

File: AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/slack-auditlog-pipeline-setup.md

Summary

Renamed source type to 'slack_auditlogs', replaced 'backfill' and 'acknowledgments' parameters with 'range' parameter, and updated descriptions.

Security assessment

Removal of 'acknowledgments' parameter could impact data reliability but lacks evidence of addressing a specific security vulnerability. Changes appear to be API standardization without security context.

-Defines how far back to backfill audit logs on first run (or after state reset). Uses ISO 8601 duration format (for example, `P7D` for the last 7 days, `PT12H` for 12 hours). Must be a positive duration or null; null disables backfill entirely. Slack's Audit Logs API retains at most 90 days of history. Default: `P90D`.
+The time range for log collection. Uses ISO 8601 duration format (for example, `P7D` for the last 7 days, `PT21H` for 21 hours). Default is 0 hours, and the maximum is 90 days.
