# AWS GuardDuty

Scanner supports AWS GuardDuty log events, which describe security findings generated by AWS. In order for Scanner to see these logs, you can configure GuardDuty to publish findings to an S3 bucket that Scanner is linked to.

## Collect logs in S3

{% step %}

### Configure GuardDuty to export to S3

Follow the AWS documentation to configure GuardDuty to export findings to S3.

See: [Exporting findings](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/guardduty/latest/ug/guardduty_exportfindings.html).
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Create an Index Rule

Once GuardDuty logs are landing in your S3 bucket, [Create an Index Rule](/scanner/using-scanner-complete-feature-reference/data-ingestion/create-an-index-rule.md) to ingest the logs via Scanner Collect for fast search and detections.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.scanner.dev/scanner/using-scanner-complete-feature-reference/data-ingestion/sources/aws-guardduty.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
