AWS cli: Document LogGroupDeletionProtection in centralization rule output

Service: cli · 2026-10-20 · Documentation medium

File: cli/latest/reference/observabilityadmin/get-centralization-rule-for-organization.md · Type: logging

Summary

Adds the LogGroupDeletionProtection field to the CentralizationRule response structure, describing that deletion protection persists on log groups even if the setting is removed or the rule deleted, plus CLI version bump.

Security assessment

Documents a protective control over centralized log groups and its persistence semantics, which helps prevent loss of audit data. It is security-relevant guidance, not a fix for a specific vulnerability.

Evidence

+>>>> If you remove this setting from the rule or delete the rule, deletion protection stays enabled on log groups that already have it. To delete one of these log groups, first disable deletion protection on the log group in the destination account.
