Send CloudFront logs to Axiom

Amazon CloudFront is a web service that speeds up distribution of your static and dynamic web content, such as .html, .css, .js, and image files, to your users. CloudFront delivers your content through a worldwide network of data centers called edge locations.

We built an easy way for you to send CloudFront logs to Axiom using AWS S3 bucket and Lambda. With this, you can observe your static and dynamic content and run deep queries on your CloudFront distribution logs efficiently and properly.

Prerequisites

Installation

Axiom CloudFront integration is available opensource on GitHub. Select the stack you want to deploy and click launch stack.
