Supported log types
Logs contain raw data about events that happen throughout a system and in its separate parts. The following table shows the log types that are currently supported by Security Analytics for ingestion, mapping, and monitoring.
| Log type | Description |
|---|---|
| Network events | A log that records events that happen in a system’s network, such as login attempts and application events. |
| DNS logs | A log that stores Domain Name System (DNS) activity. Security Analytics supports Open Cybersecurity Schema Framework (OCSF) log and event data, which includes the Security Lake log type Route 53. Given that Route 53 is a log that captures DNS activity, its log type should be specified as DNS logs when defining a detector. |
| Apache access logs | A log type that is responsible for recording data for all requests processed by an Apache HTTP server. |
| Windows logs | Logs that record events that have happened in the operating system, applications, and other system services for Windows. |

| System logs | Logs that record events happening in the operating system. |
| AWS CloudTrail logs | Logs that monitor events for an AWS CloudTrail account. OpenSearch can ingest CloudTrail log data from both AWS Simple Storage Service (S3) accounts and Amazon Security Lake service accounts. |
