download-db-log-file-portion --starting-token=0 doesn't download whole log file

[stephanlindauer]

when running

  aws rds download-db-log-file-portion \
    --db-instance-identifier pg-db-bla \
    --log-file-name $filename_path \
    --starting-token=0 \
    --output text >> $filename_path

i would expect it to download the whole log file and the docs agree on that assumption:

however the log file downloaded via the CLI (in my case) is 199M and doesn't give me the whole day worth of logs (stops at around 8am), while when i use this button in the web-console

i get the whole file of 724.6MB with all the logs from 0:00 until 24:00.

aws-cli/1.11.129 Python/2.7.12 Linux/4.10.0-28-generic botocore/1.5.92

for logfile in $(aws rds describe-db-log-files --db-instance-identifier rdshost --query DescribeDBLogFiles[0].LogFileName)
do
aws rds download-db-log-file-portion --db-instance-identifier rdshost --log-file-name ${logfile} --starting-token 0 --output text >> ${logfile##*/}.log
done
