Apache Logs

Connecting Apache logs to your Panther Console

Overview

Panther supports ingesting Apache logs via common Data Transport options: Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3 and SQS.

How to onboard Apache logs to Panther

To connect these logs into Panther:

1. In the left-hand navigation bar of your Panther Console, click Log Sources.

2. Click Create New.

3. Search for "Apache," then click its tile.

4. In the Transport Mechanism drop-down, select the data transport method you wish to use for this integration, then follow Panther's instructions for configuring the method:

   • AWS S3 bucket

   • AWS SQS

5. Click Start Setup.

6. Configure Apache to push logs to the Data Transport source.

   • See Apache's documentation for instructions on pushing logs to your selected Data Transport source.
