# AWS WAF

Scanner supports AWS WAF logs, which contain data about traffic that is analyzed by your web ACL. In order for Scanner to see these logs, you can configure WAF to publish them to an S3 bucket that Scanner is linked to.

## Collect logs in S3

### WAF to S3

Follow the AWS documentation to configure WAF to write web ACL traffic logs to an S3 bucket that Scanner is linked to.

See: [Sending web ACL traffic logs to an Amazon Simple Storage Service bucket](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/waf/latest/developerguide/logging-s3.html).
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Create an Index Rule

Once WAF 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 by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
