Issue for API Gateway Logs integration. Describing fields, setup as well as useful official documentation.
- Set up API Gateway Logs:
- Direct Logs to CloudWatch:
- Fields and detailed description for each field:
-
The requestId field allows for tracing and correlation of log entries associated with a specific API request, aiding in understanding the request lifecycle and troubleshooting issues.
-
The ip field reveals the source IP address of the client, assisting in identifying traffic patterns, detecting threats or suspicious activities, and understanding geographical distribution.
-
The requestTime field provides the timestamp of the API request, enabling analysis of request patterns, resource allocation optimization, and troubleshooting timing-related or performance issues.
-
The httpMethod field indicates the HTTP method used in the request, facilitating understanding of client operations, monitoring distribution of methods, and identifying irregularities or endpoint misuse.
-
The routeKey field represents the API endpoint or route associated with the request, aiding in the identification of frequently accessed endpoints, monitoring route distribution, and pinpointing performance issues.
-
The status field captures the HTTP response status code, facilitating monitoring of request success or failure, tracking distribution of response codes, and identifying potential issues causing errors or failures.
-
The protocol field indicates the communication protocol used in the API request, helping to identify compatibility issues, performance differences, and potential security concerns associated with specific protocols.
-
The responseLength field represents the size of the response returned by the API Gateway, enabling monitoring of response sizes, identification of performance bottlenecks, and optimization of resource allocation and caching strategies.
