+## Log Group
+
+AppSync automatically create a log group with the name `/aws/appsync/apis/<graphql_api_id>` upon deployment with
+log data set to never expire.
+
+The `logConfig.retention` property can be used to set a different expiration period.
+
+It is possible to obtain the GraphQL API's log group as a `logs.ILogGroup` by calling the `logGroup` property of the
+`GraphqlApi` construct.
+
 ## Schema
 
 Every GraphQL Api needs a schema to define the Api. CDK offers `appsync.Schema`
