Amazon SES emits sending-activity events — deliveries, bounces, complaints, rejects, rendering failures, opens, and clicks — through a configurable event destination on each configuration set. SES supports CloudWatch, Kinesis Data Firehose, Amazon SNS, EventBridge, and Pinpoint as event destinations. Kinesis Firehose — add a Kinesis Data Firehose event destination to the configuration set and point it at Bronto. This delivers the full event JSON — mail{}, the event-specific object (delivery{}, bounce{}, open{}, click{}, …), and nested tags{} — which Bronto parses and flattens into searchable fields automatically.
SES’s CloudWatch event destination publishes CloudWatch metrics (counts of sends, bounces, etc.), not a log group containing the event bodies. To capture the event JSON itself, use the Firehose event destination.

​
Alternatives

For metric-level monitoring only, the configuration set can publish to a CloudWatch event destination, but this does not produce the per-event JSON that Bronto ingests. See Ingesting AWS Data into Bronto for the full service-to-method mapping.
