# Route 53 Query Logging Configuration

Route 53 Query Logging Configuration in AWS enables you to capture detailed information about DNS queries made to a specific hosted zone. By configuring query logging, you can send logs to a CloudWatch Logs log group, where they can be monitored, analyzed, and retained. This helps with troubleshooting, security analysis, and gaining insights into DNS traffic patterns.

```
aws.route53_query_logging_config
```
