awslogs: List existing streams for the specified group.
$ awslogs streams ${-var-log-syslog}
try on your machine

This command is using the awslogs tool to view the log streams for a specific log group. Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • awslogs: It is a command-line tool provided by AWS to help manage and view log data in CloudWatch Logs.
  • streams: It is a sub-command of awslogs. This specific sub-command is used to view the log streams within a log group.
  • ${-var-log-syslog}: This portion of the command is referring to a variable named -var-log-syslog. The ${} syntax is often used in shell scripting to reference variables. In this case, it seems like the variable is being used to specify the log group name or some other parameter required by the awslogs tool.

However, it is important to note that the specific meaning and usage of this command may depend on the specific context or script it is being used in.
