### AI overview

This tutorial explains how to route Amazon API Gateway REST API execution logs to CloudWatch Logs, Amazon S3, or Amazon Data Firehose. It contrasts execution logs with access logs and describes their use for diagnosing authorization, validation, integration, mapping, and error-handling behavior.

### Source excerpt

Amazon API Gateway execution logs help you trace request processing step by step through your REST API stages. They capture authorization results, integration latency, mapping template output, and error details that are otherwise invisible at the API surface. When a production request fails in a way the access log cannot explain, the execution log is [...]

### AI overview

A tutorial on monitoring production Amazon DocumentDB clusters with tiered alerts, CloudWatch metrics, Performance Insights, profiler logs, slow-query diagnosis, and garbage-collection health checks.

### Source excerpt

Learn how to build a tiered alerting strategy for Amazon DocumentDB by organizing CloudWatch metrics into Critical, Warning, and Advisory tiers, diagnosing slow queries through three complementary lenses, and monitoring garbage collection health before it becomes a cluster-wide incident.

### AI overview

This article explains how security engineers can detect multi-stage attacks on AWS by correlating signals across services with business context. It presents examples using CloudWatch Logs Insights and discusses expanding the correlations into an automated pipeline.

### Source excerpt

A single alert from one security service tells you something happened. Read that signal alongside activity from other services and your own business context, and you will know whether what happened is part of a multi-stage attack. Consider a short sequence. An identity calls GetCallerIdentity from a source address it hasn't previously used. Within minutes, [...]

### AI overview

AWS Network Firewall now provides rule hit counts for stateful rules, using alert-log data to show how often rules match network traffic. The feature helps teams identify unused rules, support incident response, and demonstrate security-control effectiveness for compliance.

### Source excerpt

As firewall rule sets grow in complexity, security teams face a common challenge: manual log analysis is used to determine which rules are actively matching traffic and which are consuming capacity without being triggered. This lack of visibility creates operational and compliance gaps. Organizations with governance policies that require removal of dormant rules after a [...]
