CloudWatch LogStream CreationTime should be long instead of floating point #1434
Description
The CreationTime of a CloudWatch LogStream should be a long but it is currently a floating point.
To see the issue execute these AWS CLI commands:-
aws --endpoint-url http://localhost:4586 logs create-log-group --log-group-name test1
aws --endpoint-url http://localhost:4586 logs create-log-stream --log-group-name test1 --log-stream-name 20190722
aws --endpoint-url http://localhost:4586 logs describe-log-streams --log-group-name test1
The result is:-
{
"logStreams": [
{
"logStreamName": "20190722",
"creationTime": 1563778930313.721,
"arn": "arn:aws:logs:eu-west-1:0:log-group:test1:log-stream:20190722",
"storedBytes": 0
}
]
}
Note that the LocalStack creationTime is a float. The value returned by AWS is a long. See the examples in https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatchLogs/latest/APIReference/API_DescribeLogGroups.html that show that the creationTime is a long.
The consequence is that libraries (e.g. Amazon's AWS SDK for .NET https://aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-net/) that use the AWS API fail because they cannot convert the creationTime to a date.
