MySQL RDS – The specified log group does not exist

If you experience the error: There was an error filtering log events The specified log group does not exist, checking the parameter group may be an option.

Make sure that –

• “Enhanced Monitoring” must be turned ON.
• IAM role (RDS-Monitoring-Role) is selected for monitoring.

And in the Parameter Group –

• activate_all_roles_on_login — Should be changed from 0 to 1
• general_log — Should be changed from 0 to 1
• log_output — Should be changed from TABLE to FILE
• slow_query_log — Should be changed from 0 to 1

Although a reboot is not necessary, give it a shot if the modifications don’t take.

Hope this solves your problem.
