"For TUI Musement, Airbyte cut development time in half and enabled dynamic customer experiences."


“Airbyte helped us accelerate our progress by years, compared to our competitors. We don’t need to worry about connectors and focus on creating value for our users instead of building infrastructure. That’s priceless. The time and energy saved allows us to disrupt and grow faster.”

"With Airbyte, we could just push a few buttons, allow API access, and bring all the data into Google BigQuery. By blending all the different marketing data sources, we can gain valuable insights."
First, set up an S3 bucket in your AWS account to store CloudTrail logs. Ensure that the bucket has the appropriate permissions for CloudTrail to write logs to it. You can use the AWS Management Console to create the bucket, and specify it as the destination when setting up your CloudTrail.
Enable AWS CloudTrail in your AWS account and configure it to deliver logs to the S3 bucket created in the previous step. Specify the S3 bucket name in the CloudTrail setup wizard and ensure that log file validation is enabled for security purposes.
Set up an S3 event notification on the bucket to trigger an AWS Lambda function every time a new log file is created. This involves configuring the S3 bucket to send a notification to Lambda, using the AWS Management Console or AWS CLI. Select the event type (e.g., "All object create events") and specify the Lambda function that will process the logs.
Create a Lambda function with the necessary IAM role that has permissions to read from the S3 bucket and write to Elasticsearch. This function will be triggered by S3 event notifications. Write the function code to process the CloudTrail logs, extract relevant information, and format it for insertion into Elasticsearch.
Deploy an Elasticsearch cluster using Amazon OpenSearch Service (formerly AWS Elasticsearch Service). You can do this via the AWS Management Console, CLI, or CloudFormation. Configure the cluster settings, such as instance type, number of nodes, and security settings. Make sure the cluster is accessible from the Lambda function, potentially using a VPC if necessary.
In your Lambda function, implement logic to parse the CloudTrail log files, transform the data as needed, and prepare it for indexing into Elasticsearch. This typically involves converting the JSON format of CloudTrail logs into a structure compatible with Elasticsearch, such as indexing specific fields.
Use the AWS SDK within your Lambda function to send HTTP requests to your Elasticsearch cluster’s endpoint. Use the Elasticsearch Bulk API to efficiently index batches of transformed CloudTrail logs. Ensure error handling and logging are implemented in the Lambda function to handle any issues during the indexing process.
By following these steps, you can effectively move data from AWS CloudTrail to Elasticsearch without relying on third-party connectors or integrations, leveraging AWS-native services and capabilities.
FAQs
What is ETL?
ETL, an acronym for Extract, Transform, Load, is a vital data integration process. It involves extracting data from diverse sources, transforming it into a usable format, and loading it into a database, data warehouse or data lake. This process enables meaningful data analysis, enhancing business intelligence.
AWS CloudTrail is a web service developed to simplify and provide assistance with AWS accounts. Enabling compliance, governance, and operational and risk auditing, it allows users to monitor, log, and document AWS account-related activity in an easily searchable format. With its comprehensive account event history function, CloudTrail helps users analyze and troubleshoot security and operational issues, detect unusual account activity, and much more by increasing visibility into customers’ user and resource activity.
AWS CloudTrail provides access to a wide range of data related to AWS account activity and resource usage. The following are the categories of data that can be accessed through the API:
1. Event history: This includes information about all the events that have occurred in an AWS account, such as API calls, console sign-ins, and resource changes.
2. Resource activity: This category includes data related to the usage of AWS resources, such as EC2 instances, S3 buckets, and RDS databases.
3. User activity: This category includes data related to user activity in an AWS account, such as user sign-ins, password changes, and access key usage.
4. Security analysis: This category includes data related to security events in an AWS account, such as failed login attempts, unauthorized access attempts, and changes to security groups.
5. Compliance auditing: This category includes data related to compliance auditing in an AWS account, such as changes to IAM policies, CloudTrail configuration changes, and VPC network changes.
Overall, the AWS CloudTrail API provides a comprehensive view of AWS account activity and resource usage, making it a valuable tool for monitoring and managing AWS environments.
What is ELT?
ELT, standing for Extract, Load, Transform, is a modern take on the traditional ETL data integration process. In ELT, data is first extracted from various sources, loaded directly into a data warehouse, and then transformed. This approach enhances data processing speed, analytical flexibility and autonomy.
Difference between ETL and ELT?
ETL and ELT are critical data integration strategies with key differences. ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) transforms data before loading, ideal for structured data. In contrast, ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) loads data before transformation, perfect for processing large, diverse data sets in modern data warehouses. ELT is becoming the new standard as it offers a lot more flexibility and autonomy to data analysts.
