# AWS Logs

## Overview

Panther supports log ingestion from the following Amazon Web Services (AWS) services:

[alb](https://docs.panther.com/data-onboarding/supported-logs/aws/alb "mention")

[rds](https://docs.panther.com/data-onboarding/supported-logs/aws/rds "mention")

[bedrock-model-invocation](https://docs.panther.com/data-onboarding/supported-logs/aws/bedrock-model-invocation "mention")

[cloudtrail](https://docs.panther.com/data-onboarding/supported-logs/aws/cloudtrail "mention")

[cloudwatch](https://docs.panther.com/data-onboarding/supported-logs/aws/cloudwatch "mention")

[config](https://docs.panther.com/data-onboarding/supported-logs/aws/config "mention")

[eks](https://docs.panther.com/data-onboarding/supported-logs/aws/eks "mention")

[guardduty](https://docs.panther.com/data-onboarding/supported-logs/aws/guardduty "mention")

[nlb](https://docs.panther.com/data-onboarding/supported-logs/aws/nlb "mention")

[security-hub](https://docs.panther.com/data-onboarding/supported-logs/aws/security-hub "mention")

[security-lake](https://docs.panther.com/data-onboarding/supported-logs/aws/security-lake "mention")

[s3](https://docs.panther.com/data-onboarding/supported-logs/aws/s3 "mention")

[transit-gateway](https://docs.panther.com/data-onboarding/supported-logs/aws/transit-gateway "mention")

[vpc](https://docs.panther.com/data-onboarding/supported-logs/aws/vpc "mention")

[waf](https://docs.panther.com/data-onboarding/supported-logs/aws/waf "mention")

Beyond these natively supported AWS log sources, Panther also supports log ingestion from any other services via our AWS data transports: [s3](https://docs.panther.com/data-onboarding/data-transports/aws/s3 "mention"), [sqs](https://docs.panther.com/data-onboarding/data-transports/aws/sqs "mention"), and [cloudwatch](https://docs.panther.com/data-onboarding/data-transports/aws/cloudwatch "mention").

In addition to log monitoring, we recommend using Panther's [Cloud Security Scanning](#cloud-security-scanning-for-aws-resources) to detect misconfigurations in your AWS environment.

## Panther-built detections

See Panther's prewritten AWS rules in [the panther-analysis Github repository](https://github.com/panther-labs/panther-analysis/tree/master/rules).

## Querying logs in Data Explorer

See example SQL queries, for use in Panther's [Data Explorer](https://docs.panther.com/search/data-explorer), on the following pages:

* [CloudTrail logs queries](https://docs.panther.com/search/data-explorer/example-queries/cloudtrail-logs-queries)
* [GuardDuty logs queries](https://docs.panther.com/search/data-explorer/example-queries/guardduty-logs-queries)
* [S3 Access logs queries](https://docs.panther.com/search/data-explorer/example-queries/s3-access-logs-queries)
* [VPC Flow logs queries](https://docs.panther.com/search/data-explorer/example-queries/vpc-flow-logs-queries)

## Cloud Security Scanning for AWS resources

Beyond monitoring your AWS logs, we recommend onboarding your AWS environment as a Cloud Account for [Cloud Security Scanning](https://docs.panther.com/cloud-scanning). Cloud Security Scanning checks your cloud resources against [policies](https://docs.panther.com/detections/policies) you've defined to identify and alert you to vulnerabilities in your AWS environment. Panther also comes with several [built-in policies](https://docs.panther.com/data-onboarding/supported-logs/broken-reference) based on common cloud infrastructure misconfigurations.

To learn more about how to set up Cloud Security Scanning for AWS, see [Onboarding the Cloud Account in Panther](https://docs.panther.com/cloud-scanning#onboarding-the-cloud-account-in-panther).
