AWS ALB

Connecting AWS ALB logs to your Panther Console

Overview

Panther supports ingesting Amazon Web Services (AWS) Application Load Balancer (ALB) logs via AWS S3.

How to onboard AWS ALB logs to Panther

To pull ALB logs into Panther, set up an S3 bucket in the Panther Console to stream data from your AWS account.

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

2. Click Create New.

3. Search for "AWS Application Load Balancer," then click its tile.

4. In the slide-out panel, click Start Setup.

5. Follow Panther’s documentation for configuring S3 for data transport.

  - name: elb
    description: The resource ID of the load balancer. If you are parsing access log entries, note that resources IDs can contain forward slashes (/).

  - name: requestProcessingTime
    description: The total time elapsed (in seconds, with millisecond precision) from the time the load balancer received the request until the time it sent it to a target. This value is set to -1 if the load balancer can't dispatch the request to a target. This can happen if the target closes the connection before the idle timeout or if the client sends a malformed request. This value can also be set to -1 if the registered target does not respond before the idle timeout.
    type: float
  - name: targetProcessingTime
    description: The total time elapsed (in seconds, with millisecond precision) from the time the load balancer sent the request to a target until the target started to send the response headers. This value is set to -1 if the load balancer can't dispatch the request to a target. This can happen if the target closes the connection before the idle timeout or if the client sends a malformed request. This value can also be set to -1 if the registered target does not respond before the idle timeout.
    type: float
  - name: responseProcessingTime
    description: The total time elapsed (in seconds, with millisecond precision) from the time the load balancer received the response header from the target until it started to send the response to the client. This includes both the queuing time at the load balancer and the connection acquisition time from the load balancer to the client. This value is set to -1 if the load balancer can't send the request to a target. This can happen if the target closes the connection before the idle timeout or if the client sends a malformed request.
