what we implement logs for us - to get a picture of the traffic between VPCs and services in order to understand who consumes the most traffic, where and how much cross-AZ traffic, and so on.SecuirtyGroup/Network Access List rules - blocked requests will be marked as REJECTED.The data is recorded as an flow log records, and uses a record with predefined fields. Services for which you can use Flow Logs: If enabled for the entire VPC - logging will be enabled for all interfaces of the VPC. Logs can be enabled for an entire VPC, for a subnet, or for an external surface. Flow Log Custom format, and CloudWatch Logs Insights.Let’s briefly review the basic concepts, and available settings, and set up Flow Logs for VPC with data transfer for analysis to CloduWatch Logs. Further, these logs can be stored in AWS S3 or sent to AWS CloudWatch Logs, while enabling traffic logging does not affect the performance of the network interface in any way. Sudo fcli set main dump_all_traffic enableĪfter that you can monitor all arriving packets with following command: sudo tail -f /var/log/fastnetmon/fastnetmon.AWS VPC Flow Logs allow you to log traffic information between network interfaces in a VPC. To conform correctness of setup we recommend using following option on FastNetMon to dump every received packet into log file: You will see following entries if lambda works fine: We ill use it to confirm that Lambda is working fine. This log group was created for default logging from our Lambda. Let’s open CloudWatch then select “Logs”, “Log groups” and open “/aws/lambda/process_vpc_flow_fastnetmon”.
That’s one more time to check that everything works as expected. After finishing all steps just click on “Save”. To specify FastNetMon’s address you need to add Environment variable with name “fastnetmon_server_address” set to “10.10.10.10:8104” (please change to correct external IP address of EC2 instance or another server, please do not use internal IPs from instances here, Lambda does not have permissions to use them).
Vpc flow logs zip#
On next page you will need to set “Runtime” to “Go 1.x”, then set”HandlerInfo” to fastnetmon_flowlogs_lambda”, set option “Code entry type” to “Upload zip file” and upload this file.
When asked for Role Name, please use “vpc_flow_watch_role”. Use name fastnetmon_flow_logs.Īs next step you will need to create IAM Role for Flow logs, please follow official guide for it. Open Logs, Log groups and then from “Actions” select “Create log group”. We need CloudWatch to export Flow Logs into it for processing. Next thing you need to configure is CloudWatch. Then click on security group to open configuration:Īs next step you’ll need to click on “Edit inbound rules” then click “Add rule” and create following rule: “Custom UDP”, “Port Range”: 8104, “Source”: “anywhere”, “Description”: “Allow FastNetMon Tera Flow from Lambda” and finally click on save rules. In this case you need to click on “launch-wizard-2”. In instance’s description select “Security groups” and click on it. If you’ve deployed FastNetMon in Amazon AWS too then you need to change security policy for your EC2 instance to allow UDP traffic over port 8104. With such configuration FastNetMon will listen for Tera Flow UDP messages on port 8104. Sudo fcli set main tera_flow_host 0.0.0.0 Many features from this article (VPC Flow Log, CloudWatch, Lambda) are subject of charge, please check with your financial team before moving forward to avoid unexpected costs.įrom FastNetmon side, please enable Tera Flow plugin using following commands: sudo fcli set main tera_flow enable Amazon AWS offers great way to export traffic telemetry from all VPC’s (VPC Flow logs) and you can use your FastNetMon instance to process this data easily.
FastNetMon was built with flexibility in mind and we do offer security solutions for on premise and cloud environments.
