Say you have a lambda. And it’s triggered by a Cloudwatch log event. Great, Serverless can do that: [Serverless Framework - AWS Lambda Events - CloudWatch Log](https://www.serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/aws/events/cloudwatch-log/)

```
functions:
  myCloudWatchLog:
handler: myCloudWatchLog.handler
events:
  - cloudwatchLog: '/aws/lambda/hello'

```

We can also set filters. Cool. But what about a **filter name?**

This is a value one can set in the AWS UI:

I assume this is the `LogGroupName` value specified in the Cloudformation API?

> There can as many as two subscription filters associated with a log group.

It appears Serverless does not support this value. Is that correct? Can someone confirm or deny?
