We are trying to configure CloudWatch Output Plugin. We are able to add  
"access\_key\_id" =\> ""  
"secret\_access\_key" =\> ""  
"region" =\> ""  
in logstash configuration file.

Could you please guide me how I can give CloudWatch log group and log stream details in logstash configuration file.

I have tried the following,  
"log\_group\_name" =\> "testloggroup"  
"log\_stream\_name" =\> "testlogstream"

but I am getting the error,  
07:59:37.057 [LogStash::Runner] ERROR logstash.outputs.cloudwatch - Unknown setting 'log\_group\_name' for cloudwatch  
07:59:37.060 [LogStash::Runner] ERROR logstash.outputs.cloudwatch - Unknown setting 'log\_stream\_name' for cloudwatch
