Access Logs

• Server access logging provides detailed records for the requests that are made to a bucket.

• Server access logs are useful for many applications.

  • For example, access log information can be useful in security and access audits.

  • It can also help you learn about your customer base and understand your S3 bill.

• To enable logging:

  1. Turn on logging on the Amazon S3 bucket that you want to monitor, this is called the source bucket.

  2. Grant the Amazon S3 Log Delivery group write permission on the bucket where you want the access logs saved, this is called the target bucket.
