AWS Config

Connecting AWS Configuration logs to your Panther Console

Overview

Panther supports ingesting Amazon Web Services (AWS) Config configuration snapshot logs via AWS S3.

How to onboard AWS Config logs to Panther

After AWS Config is configured to generate configuration snapshot logs via the AWS CLI, they will be sent to an S3 bucket.

To then pull these logs into Panther, you will need to set up an S3 bucket in the Panther Console.

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

2. Click Create New.

3. Search for “AWS Config,” then click its tile.

   • On the next screen, the Transport Mechanism dropdown in the upper right corner will be populated with the AWS S3 Bucket option.

4. Click Start Setup.

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

Supported AWS Config logs

AWS.Config

Record and evaluate snapshots of your AWS resources' configurations. For more information, see AWS's documentation on how Config works.

The event time (p_event_time) is the time the snapshot was created.
