# Amazon MediaConvert
Integration version1.0.0
## Overview{% #overview %}

AWS Elemental MediaConvert is a service that formats and compresses offline video content for delivery to televisions or connected devices.

Enable this integration to see all your Elemental MediaConvert metrics in Datadog.

## Setup{% #setup %}

### Installation{% #installation %}

If you haven't already, set up the [Amazon Web Services integration](https://docs.datadoghq.com/integrations/amazon_web_services/) first.

### Metric collection{% #metric-collection %}

1. In the [AWS integration page](https://app.datadoghq.com/integrations/amazon-web-services), ensure that `MediaConvert` is enabled under the `Metric Collection` tab.
1. Install the [Datadog - AWS Elemental MediaConvert integration](https://app.datadoghq.com/integrations/amazon-mediaconvert).

### Log collection{% #log-collection %}

#### Enable logging{% #enable-logging %}

Configure AWS Elemental MediaConvert to send logs to either an S3 bucket or to CloudWatch.

**Note**: If you log to an S3 bucket, make sure that `amazon_mediaconvert` is set as *Target prefix*.

#### Send logs to Datadog{% #send-logs-to-datadog %}

1. If you haven't already, set up the [Datadog Forwarder Lambda function](https://docs.datadoghq.com/logs/guide/forwarder/).

1. Once the Lambda function is installed, manually add a trigger on the S3 bucket or CloudWatch log group that contains your AWS Elemental MediaConvert logs in the AWS console:

   - [Add a manual trigger on the S3 bucket](https://docs.datadoghq.com/logs/guide/send-aws-services-logs-with-the-datadog-lambda-function/#collecting-logs-from-s3-buckets)
   - [Add a manual trigger on the CloudWatch Log Group](https://docs.datadoghq.com/logs/guide/send-aws-services-logs-with-the-datadog-lambda-function/#collecting-logs-from-cloudwatch-log-group)
