#### [ AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) ]

**To enable the As Run log**

Run the [configure-logs-for-channel](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/mediatailor/configure-logs-for-channel.html) command and specify the appropriate values for the required parameters.

This example is formatted for Linux, macOS, or Unix, and it uses the backslash (\$1) line-continuation character to improve readability.

```
$ aws mediatailor configure-logs-for-channel \
--channel-name MyChannel \
--log-types AS_RUN
```

This example is formatted for Microsoft Windows, and it uses the caret (^) line-continuation character to improve readability.

```
C:\> aws mediatailor configure-logs-for-channel ^
--channel-name MyChannel ^
--log-types AS_RUN
```

Where:
+ `MyChannel` is the name of the channel that you own and want to enable the As Run log for.

If the command runs successfully, you receive output similar to the following.

```
{
    "ChannelName": "MyChannel",
    "LogTypes": [
       "AS_RUN"
    ]
}
```
