Send data from CloudFront to Axiom

To determine the best method to send data from different AWS services, see Send data from AWS to Axiom.

Prerequisites#

• Create an Axiom account.

• Create a dataset in Axiom where you send your data.

• Create an API token in Axiom with permissions to ingest data to the dataset you have created.

• Create an account on AWS Cloud.

Setup#

1. Select one of the following:
   • If you already have an S3 bucket for your CloudFront data, launch the base stack on AWS.
   • If you don’t have an S3 bucket for your CloudFront data, launch the stack on AWS that creates an S3 bucket for you.
2. Add the name of the Axiom dataset where you want to send data.
3. Enter the Axiom API token you have previously created.

Configuration#

To configure your CloudFront distribution:

1. In AWS, select your origin domain.
2. In Origin access, select Legacy access identities, and then select your origin access identity in the list.
3. In Bucket policy, select Yes, update the bucket policy.
4. In Standard logging, select On. This means that your data is delivered to your S3 bucket.
5. Click Create Distribution, and then click Run your Distribution.
