best apprach to monitor and loging the cloudfront on cloudwatch

Question

Hi All,

I am very new to AWS DevOps.  I am trying to find the best approach to logging and monitoring the CloudFront activity on Cloudwatch.  I have tried the below

1. enabled the Cloudfront logs to s3, then analyze the data with Athena
2. enable real-time logging to Cloudwatch from the CloudFront console.

but I am stuck 
- in  1st I am not aware of how to enable visual monitoring of this 
- in the 2nd approach. that data is logged but does not provide sufficient data.

please help

Hi,

there are 2 main ways:
* for access logs in realtime (seconds), you should setup an integration with Cloudfront ->Amazon Kinesis Data Streams -> Amazon Kinesis Firehose, which then can be moved to S3, OpenSearch, etc.
* for access logs needed in minutes, you could just send logs directly to S3.

Hope it helps ;)
