# IVS Chat Logging Configuration

IVS Chat Logging Configuration in AWS defines how chat messages from Amazon IVS Chat are logged and stored. It allows you to configure destinations such as Amazon CloudWatch Logs, Amazon S3, or Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose for capturing chat activity. This helps with monitoring, auditing, and analyzing chat interactions in real time or for later review.

| arn                       | core | string     | Logging-configuration ARN, from the request (if identifier was an ARN).                                                                                                                                |
| create_time               | core | timestamp  | Time when the logging configuration was created. This is an ISO 8601 timestamp; note that this is returned as a string.                                                                                |
