Welcome to the AM as a cloud service CDN Log Analysis Tooling. In this video, we’ll explore powerful solutions designed to streamline your log analysis process, providing deep insights into both your CDN performance and AM implementation. From real-time monitoring to proactive issue detection, our tooling empowers you to optimize your content delivery strategies and ensure performance and security of your AM implementation, including mitigating DOS and DDoS attacks. Additionally, Adobe offers dedicated dashboards for Splunk and ELK, accelerating the analysis process and providing comprehensive insights into your data. These dashboards offer actionable insights via various panels. To optimize content served via the CDN resulting in a faster end-user experience. To prevent denial-of-service and distributed denial-of-service attacks. Designed to seamlessly integrate with your existing workflows, these dashboards enable you to make data-driven decisions with ease. Let’s discover how you can leverage this tooling to enhance your digital experience and improve business outcomes. Now, let’s dwell into the Splunk integration. Customers who have enabled AMCS log forwarding to their Splunk instances can accelerate their log analysis. This tooling includes easy importing of pre-built dashboards, specifically tailored for analyzing CDN performance and security. Gain actionable insights to optimize your AM implementation or mitigate attacks with just a few clicks. Next, let’s explore leveraging the power of the ELK stack with this tooling. This option is particularly useful when you don’t have access to a Splunk setup or enabled log forwarding capability. The ELK stack, consisting of Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana, offers a robust performance for log analysis and visualization. Setting up the ELK stack locally is straightforward. This project provides a Docker Compose file to define and run the ELK application. Begin by downloading your CDN logs from Adobe Cloud Manager and ingesting them into log directories. Finally, import the pre-built dashboards into Kibana for comprehensive log analysis. By harnessing the ELK stack’s capabilities, you can gain valuable insights, enabling informed decision-making and proactive issue resolution. As we wrap up, remember, AMCS CDN Log Analysis Tooling equips with you the insights to optimize your digital experiences. From real-time monitoring to proactive issue detection, these tools streamline your content delivery strategies and ensure the performance and security of your AM implementation. Whether you are using Splunk, ELK or leveraging provided dashboards for these tools, you have the resources to drive impactful results.

Overview

The AEM as a Cloud Service CDN Log Analysis Tooling offers pre-built dashboards that you can integrate with the Splunk or the ELK stack for real-time monitoring and analysis of your CDN logs.

By using this tooling, you can achieve real-time monitoring and proactive issue detection. Thus, ensuring optimized content delivery and proper security measures against Denial of Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks.

Key Features

  • Streamlined Log Analysis

  • Real-time Monitoring

  • Seamless Integration

  • Dashboards for

    • Identify potential security threats
    • Faster end-user experience

Dashboard Overview

To quickstart the log analysis, Adobe provides pre-built dashboards for both Splunk and ELK stack.

  • CDN Cache Hit Ratio: provides insights into the total cache hit ratio and total count of requests by HIT, PASS, and MISS status. It also provides top HIT, PASS, and MISS URLs.

    CDN Cache Hit Ratio

  • CDN Traffic Dashboard: provides insights into the traffic via CDN and Origin request rate, 4xx and 5xx error rates, and non-cached requests. It also provides max CND and Origin requests per second per client IP address and more insights to optimize the CDN configurations.

    CDN Traffic Dashboard

  • WAF Dashboard: provides insights via analyzed, flagged, and blocked requests. It also provides top attacks by WAF Flag ID, top 100 attackers by client IP, country, and user agent and more insights to optimize the WAF configurations.

Splunk integration

For organizations leveraging Splunk and who have enabled AEMCS log forwarding to their Splunk instances can quickly import pre-built dashboards. This setup facilitates accelerated log analysis, providing actionable insights to optimize AEM implementations and mitigate security threats such as DOS attacks.

You can get started using the Splunk dashboards for AEMCS CDN Log Analysis guide.

ELK integration

The ELK stack, comprising Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana, is another powerful option for log analysis. It is useful for organizations that do not have access to a Splunk setup or log forwarding capabilities. Setting up the ELK stack locally is straightforward, the tooling provides the Docker Compose file to get started quickly. Then, you can import the pre-built dashboards and ingest the CDN logs that are downloaded using the Adobe Cloud Manager.

You can get started using the ELK Docker container for AEMCS CDN Log Analysis guide.
