AWS Aurora

Scanner supports AWS Aurora logs, which is log data related to serverless databases in AWS. In order for Scanner to see them, you can publish these logs to CloudWatch, forward to Kinesis Data Firehose, and then write them into an S3 bucket that Scanner is linked to.

Step 1: Configure Aurora to publish logs to CloudWatch

Follow the AWS documentation to configure your Aurora database to export some or all of its log types to CloudWatch. This will create one or more new CloudWatch log groups. See: Publishing Amazon Aurora MySQL logs to Amazon CloudWatch Logs.

Step 2: Set up CloudWatch to push to Kinesis Data Firehose

You can follow the AWS documentation to configure your new CloudWatch log groups to push their logs to a Kinesis Data Firehose. See: Send CloudWatch Logs to Firehose.

Step 3: Configure the Kinesis Data Firehose to write logs to S3

A Kinesis Data Firehose can push logs to various destinations. We want to push to an S3 bucket that Scanner is linked to. You can follow the AWS documentation to configure the Firehose to write to an S3 bucket. See: Understand data delivery in Amazon Data Firehose.
