Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling

Applies to: AWS Log Forwarder v1.0.10 and above

Overview

Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling is designed to automatically launch or terminate EC2 instances based on user-defined scaling policies, scheduled actions, and health checks.

Netsurion monitors events from Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling by parsing the AWS CloudTrail logs and triggers from Amazon EventBridge. Dashboards and reports in Netsurion’s threat protection platform, EventTracker, will track the overall actions related to the Amazon EC2 service to keep you informed about its activities. It will trigger alerts whenever an action that is critical to the service is carried out.

For a new instance, integrate the AWS instance to EventTracker using the EventTracker integrator lambda function, which will deliver the logs to EventTracker from AWS.

Once configured to deliver events to EventTracker Manager, dashboards, and reports can be configured into EventTracker.

For an already-integrated AWS instance, make sure to update to ETS-AWS-LogForwarder v1.1.0 or above.

Scope

The configuration details are consistent with EventTracker version 9.3X and later, and ETS-AWS-LogForwarder v1.0.10 and above.
