# Osquery

Scanner supports Osquery logs, which contain information about events related to the operating system and hardware of the servers or laptops where Osquery is running. In order for Scanner to see them, you can configure Osquery to forward to logs to an AWS Kinesis Data Firehose, and then write them into an S3 bucket that Scanner is linked to.

## Step 1: Publish to S3

You can follow the Osquery documentation to configure your logger to push log events to a Kinesis Data Firehose in your AWS account. See: [Logging osquery to AWS](https://osquery.readthedocs.io/en/stable/deployment/logging/).

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](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/firehose/latest/dev/basic-deliver.html).

## Step 2: Ingest via Scanner Collect

Follow the instructions [here](https://docs.scanner.dev/scanner/using-scanner-complete-feature-reference/data-ingestion/sources/custom-logs-aws-s3) to ingest logs from S3 via Scanner Collect
