awslogs:tldr:c268f

The command you provided is using the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) to retrieve log entries from AWS CloudWatch Logs based on certain criteria. Here's a breakdown of the command:

1. awslogs: This is the AWS CLI command to interact with CloudWatch Logs.

2. get: This is the specific action within the awslogs command to retrieve log entries.

3. ${-var-log-syslog}: This is a placeholder for the log group name or log stream name. The actual value is not provided in the command you shared. You would need to replace ${-var-log-syslog} with the desired log group or log stream name.

4. --start='${2h ago}': This parameter specifies the start time for log retrieval. In this case, it is set to two hours ago. It uses the ${2h ago} syntax to indicate a relative time. This means it will retrieve logs starting from two hours ago until the end time specified.

5. --end='${1h ago}': This parameter specifies the end time for log retrieval. In this case, it is set to one hour ago. Similar to the start time, it uses the ${1h ago} syntax to indicate a relative time.

To use this command, you need to replace ${-var-log-syslog} with the desired log group or log stream. For example, if you wanted to retrieve logs from a log group named "my-log-group", the command would be:

awslogs get my-log-group --start='${2h ago}' --end='${1h ago}'

This command would fetch log entries from the "my-log-group" log group within the specified time range.
