Amazon RDS and Aurora can publish MySQL logs — the slow query log, general log, and error log — to CloudWatch Log Groups, where they become available for ingestion. CloudWatch Log Forwarder — enable MySQL log exports on the DB instance or cluster and the Bronto forwarder Lambda subscribes to the resulting CloudWatch Log Groups and streams events into Bronto.

​
Alternatives

  • Kinesis Firehose — for very high-volume environments. Enable MySQL log exports to CloudWatch Logs, then add a subscription filter on each log group targeting a Firehose stream. MySQL logs arrive as plain text (slow-query blocks, error and general logs), so Bronto stores them raw and a custom parser is required to extract fields. See Formats requiring a custom parser.
See Ingesting AWS Data into Bronto for the full service-to-method mapping.
