I'm trying to setup the functionbeat aws example. However, I keep getting "ResourceState: CREATE\_FAILED, ResourceStatusReason: The specified log group does not exist. (Service: AWSLogs; Status Code: 400; Error Code: ResourceNotFoundException; Request ID: \*\*\*\*\*)" . I have set environment variables as the guide instructed and I'm sure the log group does exist and I have admin access on our AWS account.
