How to properly set up Kinesis Data

Question

I’m working on setting up a website with Amazon Cloud Front..  I noticed that they have a area that allows you to set up Real Time Logs… Upon going in to set up wanted I wanted I noticed it wouldn’t save because it was asking me for Amazon Kinesis Data stream. I was wondering if there was a charge to use the Amazon Kinesis Data stream sense I’m trying to use the Amazon Cloud Front for free sense I don’t believe I will go over the GB. Can some please let me how to create this correctly when I went to Kinesis data stream its giving me this error message at time: Error loading data streams
This operation cannot be completed at this time due to a network failure. For more information and in order to mitigate the issue

Also Not sure if there was a charge to set this up or is this free. Any information would be much useful

Answer

There is an option to stream real-time CloudFront logs to a Kinesis data stream. From there you would be having a consumer application/service that is reading from the Kinesis data stream and analyzing the logs. The details can be found in this [document](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/real-time-logs.html).

In order to do so, you have to create a Kinesis data stream first. Upon which you can use in the CloudFront log streaming configuration.

Kinesis data streams currently can be having one of two capacity modes: Ondemand, or Provisioned. Kinesis data stream pricing depends on whether the stream is On-demand, or a provisioned stream. The details of the pricing for both modes can be found in this [page](https://aws.amazon.com/kinesis/data-streams/pricing/).

For details about AWS Free Tier services, you may check this [page](https://aws.amazon.com/free/?all-free-tier.sort-by=item.additionalFields.SortRank&all-free-tier.sort-order=asc&awsf.Free%20Tier%20Types=*all&awsf.Free%20Tier%20Categories=*all). I have searched for Kinesis there and it returned no result. Which indicates that Kinesis is not one of the services included in the Free tier products.
