A Connector that Is Active and Archives What Logging Forgets
OCI Logging keeps a log for at most six months; a service connector from a log group to Object Storage is the archive, and it can be created INACTIVE, which is how one that was set up has moved nothing since. Created active, reads a whole log group so new logs are included, writes to a bucket, stream, function, topic, metric or Log Analytics, and exports the IAM statement the hub needs.

Documentation
oci-service-connector
A Service Connector that is active, reads something, and writes somewhere
that keeps it. Works with Terraform and OpenTofu (>= 1.6), oci
provider >= 8.0, < 9.0.
A connector can be created inactive. ACTIVE here; INACTIVE needs
accept_inactive.
The connector is how logs outlive 180 days. OCI Logging keeps a log for at most six months. A connector from a log group to an Object Storage bucket is the archive; it is also how logs reach a SIEM (streaming target), a function, a topic, or Monitoring as a metric.
A log source with no log id reads the whole group. Group-level by default, so a log added next month is archived automatically.
The connector must be allowed to write. It runs as the Service
Connector Hub service and needs an IAM policy on the target; without one it
is ACTIVE and every batch fails. policy_required is the statement to add.
Verification
Static validation runs tofu fmt, init, validate, tflint and checkov.
This module has not yet had a live test, so it is published as statically
validated with its live test pending and does not carry the live-tested mark.

Related modules
oci-monitoring-alarms
An email subscription delivers nothing until somebody clicks its confirmation link, and until then every alarm publishes to a subscriber who is not there; repeat_notification_duration is null by default, so an alarm fires once at 3am and is never mentioned again. Creates the topic, subscriptions and alarms together, repeats while firing, and lists the subscriptions still waiting on a click.
oci-logging
Every OCI service log is off until somebody turns it on: a VCN records no flow log, a load balancer no access log, a bucket no read log. Each log here is one service, one resource, one category, created enabled; a log created with is_enabled = false appears in the list and records nothing, and has to be accepted by name. Retention is 30 days by default and the shortest is reported.
oci-health-checks
A monitor can be created disabled and probes nothing; one vantage point reports the site down when that location is; and a monitor is a metric, not an alarm - nothing pages until Monitoring reads it. Enabled monitors over HTTPS from three regions by default, and the MQL query each one needs in an alarm exported for the oci-monitoring-alarms module.
