AWS VPC Flow Logs

Forward your VPC flow Logs straight to Coralogix using our automatic configuration. To make the log collection a breeze, use our app in the AWS Serverless Application Repository.

Requirements

  • Ready-made S3 bucket that is clear of any Lambda triggers

  • AWS permissions to create Lambdas and IAM roles

Automatic Configuration

STEP 1. Setup delivery of your VPC Flow Logs to S3 bucket.

STEP 2. Navigate to the application page and fill in the required parameters.

STEP 3. Check the checkbox: I acknowledge that this app creates custom IAM roles and resource policies.

STEP 4. Click Deploy.
