# SNS Source

## Overview

The steps below enable you to onboard an SNS source into Panther. You will be able to configure your SNS topics to send data to an [SQS queue](https://docs.panther.com/data-onboarding/data-transports/aws/sqs) managed by Panther.

If you are a [Cloud Connected](https://docs.panther.com/system-configuration/panther-deployment-types/cloud-connected) customer, create any log source infrastructure in a separate AWS account from the one your Panther deployment resides in.

## How to set up an SNS log source in Panther

### Step 1: Set up your SQS source

Follow the Panther documentation on [setting up an SQS source](https://docs.panther.com/data-onboarding/data-transports/aws/sqs) in Panther, making sure to add the ARN of your SNS topic to the list of `Allowed Source ARNs`.

2. Go to SNS Service.
3. Select your SNS topic.
4. Click on **Create Subscription.**
5. Fill in the Details section.
   * Make sure to select **Enable Raw Delivery**.
   * For the ARN in Endpoint, use this format: `arn:aws:sqs:<region>:<account id>:<queue name>`.
