 CloudWatchLogsLogGroup
 ```
 
+## Properties
 
 
+- `CreatedTime`: The creation time of the log group in unix timestamp format
+- `CreationTime`: The creation time of the log group in RFC3339 format
+- `LastEvent`: The last event time of the log group in RFC3339 format
+- `Name`: The name of the log group
+- `RetentionInDays`: The number of days to retain log events in the log group
+- `tag:<key>:`: This resource has tags with property `Tags`. These are key/value pairs that are
+	added as their own property with the prefix of `tag:` (e.g. [tag:example: "value"]) 
+
 !!! note - Using Properties
     Properties are what [Filters](../config-filtering.md) are written against in your configuration. You use the property
     names to write filters for what you want to **keep** and omit from the nuke process.
