Using [Amazon Data Firehose](https://coralogix.com/docs/integrations/aws/amazon-data-firehose/aws-cloudwatch-metric-streams-with-amazon-data-firehose/index.md), you can now send metrics to Coralogix from Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) and view them on your Coralogix dashboard using our [application performance monitoring](https://coralogix.com/blog/application-performance-monitoring-visibility/) features.

## Prerequisites

1. [Sign up](https://signup.coralogix.com/#/) for a Coralogix account. Set up your account on the Coralogix [domain](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/account-management/account-settings/coralogix-domain/index.md) corresponding to the region within which you would like your data stored.
1. Access your Coralogix [Send Your Data - API Key](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/account-management/api-keys/send-your-data-api-key/index.md).
1. Configure a metrics bucket in your Coralogix dashboard by accessing **Data Flow** > **Setup Archive**
1. [Create](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/accounts/latest/reference/manage-acct-creating.html) an active AWS account with relevant permissions

## Installation & configuration

**Configure Amazon Data Firehose to send your telemetry data to Coralogix. We strongly recommend sending Coralogix your logs, metrics, and tracing, so that you can enjoy the highest quality APM.**

**STEP 1:** [Configure](https://coralogix.com/docs/integrations/aws/amazon-data-firehose/aws-cloudwatch-metric-streams-with-amazon-data-firehose/index.md) Amazon Data Firehose to send your **metrics** to Coralogix.

**STEP 2:** Set up OpenTelemetry Collector to correlate your **logs** and **traces**.

Add the resource detection processor.

```yaml
processors:
      resourcedetection/ec2:
        detectors: ["ec2", "env"]
        ec2:
          # A list of regex's to match tag keys to add as resource attributes
          tags:
            - ^ec2.tag.name$
            - ^ec2.tag.subsystem$
            - ^aws.*$
```

**STEP 3:** Add AWS tags to spans.

Add the `resourcedetection/ec2` processor to the list of span processors.

```yaml
traces:
    processors:
      - memory_limiter
      - batch
      - resourcedetection/ec2
```

**STEP 4:** Add AWS tags to logs.

Add the `resourcedetection/ec2` processor to the list of logs processors.

```yaml
logs:
  processors:
    - resourcedetection/ec2
```

- Use `cloud.provider` and `cloud.platform` to validate that the process is running on AWS using the EC2 platform.
- Use `host.id` and `host.name` to correlate the logs with metrics and spans.

## APM on your Coralogix dashboard

**Access our APM features on your Coralogix dashboard**

**STEP 1**: Access **Explore** > **Tracing**. Click on the trace of interest.

**STEP 2**: Click on the `HOST` feature to view the AWS metrics with a `host.id` associated with a specific EC2 instance. View your metrics in either SPANS VIEW or DEPENDENCIES VIEW.
