Logging AWS WAF web ACL traffic - AWS WAF, AWS Firewall Manager, and AWS Shield
Advanced
AWSDocumentationAWS WAFDeveloper Guide
LOGGING AWS WAF WEB ACL TRAFFIC
PDFRSS
This section explains logging and other data collection options that you can use
with AWS WAF.
You can enable logging to get detailed information about traffic that is
analyzed by your web ACL. Logged information includes the time that AWS WAF
received a web request from your AWS resource, detailed information about the
request, and details about the rules that the request matched. You can send web
ACL logs to an Amazon CloudWatch Logs log group, an Amazon Simple Storage
Service (Amazon S3) bucket, or an Amazon Data Firehose delivery stream.
OTHER DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS OPTIONS
In addition to logging, you can enable the following options for data collection
and analysis:
* Amazon Security Lake – You can configure Security Lake to collect web ACL
data. Security Lake collects log and event data from various sources for
normalization, analysis, and management. For information about this option,
see What is Amazon Security Lake? and Collecting data from AWS services in
the Amazon Security Lake user guide.
AWS WAF doesn't charge you for using this option. For pricing information,
see Security Lake Pricing and How Security Lake pricing is determined in the
Amazon Security Lake user guide.
* Request sampling – You can configure your web ACL to sample the web requests
that it evaluates, to get an idea of the type of traffic that your
application is receiving. For information about this option, see Viewing a
sample of web requests.
NOTE
Web ACL logging configuration only affects the AWS WAF logs. In particular, the
redacted fields configuration for logging has no impact on request sampling or
Security Lake data collection. Security Lake data collection is configured
entirely through the Security Lake service. The only way to exclude fields from
sampled requests is by disabling sampling for the web ACL.
