(Optional) Logging web traffic

You can optionally enable Amazon S3 server access logging for a bucket that is configured as a static website. Server access logging provides detailed records for the requests that are made to your bucket. For more information, see Amazon S3 server access logging. If you plan to use Amazon CloudFront to speed up your website, you can also use CloudFront logging. For more information, see Configuring and Using Access Logs in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide.

To enable server access logging for your static website bucket

  1. Open the Amazon S3 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/s3/.

  2. In the same Region where you created the bucket that is configured as a static website, create a bucket for logging, for example logs.example.com.

  3. Create a folder for the server access logging log files (for example, logs).

    When you group your log data files in a folder, they are easier to locate.

  4. (Optional) If you want to use CloudFront to improve your website performance, create a folder for the CloudFront log files (for example, cdn).

  5. In the Buckets list, choose your bucket.

  6. Choose Properties.

  7. Under Server access logging, choose Edit.

  8. Choose Enable.

  9. Under the Target bucket, choose the bucket and folder destination for the server access logs:

    • Browse to the folder and bucket location:

      1. Choose Browse S3.

      2. Choose the bucket name, and then choose the logs folder.

      3. Choose Choose path.

    • Enter the S3 bucket path, for example, s3://logs.example.com/logs/.

  10. Choose Save changes.

    In your log bucket, you can now access your logs. Amazon S3 writes website access logs to your log bucket every 2 hours.
