Customize the streamed log events

Abstract

Select and customize the log events of interest to receive logs in your AWS S3 bucket.

Log streaming provides an option to funnel only log events of interest to your AWS S3 bucket. For log events generated from Access Visibility, Cyber Shield, and DNS Log, you can configure filters to only stream log events of interest. This filtering at source allows you to reduce the noise and focus on log events that deserve your attention instead of overloading your downstream tools with log events and then filtering them out at your SIEM or other log collection and presentation tools.
