AWS CloudTrail log collection via SNS trigger

Warning

The legacy Coralogix-CloudTrail-via-SNS SAR app is deprecated. For new deployments, use the unified Coralogix AWS Shipper, which supports CloudTrail-via-SNS using the IntegrationType and SNSTopicArn parameters. The parameter set differs from the legacy app described below; see the coralogix-aws-shipper repository for the current reference. These instructions will be migrated in a follow-up.

Coralogix provides a predefined Lambda function to easily forward your CloudTrail logs through SNS to the Coralogix platform. For easy setup, use our app in the AWS serverless application repository.

Prerequisites

  • Active CloudTrail account

  • Ready-made SNS topic with permissions SNS:Publish to the bucket

  • Ready-made CloudTrail S3 bucket with configured event notifications to the above SNS topic

  • AWS permissions to create Lambdas and IAM roles
