AWS Network Firewall is a stateful, service that allows customers to filter traffic at the perimeter of their VPC.
Enable this integration to see all of your Amazon Network Firewall metrics in Datadog.
If you haven’t already, set up the Amazon Web Services integration first.
In the AWS integration page, ensure that Network Firewall is enabled under the Metric Collection tab.
Install the Datadog - AWS Amazon Network Firewall integration.
Configure Amazon Network Firewall to send logs either to a S3 bucket or to CloudWatch.
Note: If you log to a S3 bucket, make sure that amazon_network_firewall is set as Target prefix.
If you haven’t already, set up the Datadog log collection AWS Lambda function.
Once the lambda function is installed, manually add a trigger on the S3 bucket or CloudWatch log group that contains your Amazon Network Firewall logs in the AWS console:
| aws.networkfirewall.received_packets (gauge) | The number of packets received by the firewall. Shown as packet |
| aws.networkfirewall.dropped_packets (gauge) | The number of packets dropped by a firewall rule. Shown as packet |
| aws.networkfirewall.passed_packets (gauge) | The number of packets forwarded on by the firewall. Shown as packet |
Each of the metrics retrieved from AWS are assigned the same tags that appear in the AWS console, including but not limited to host name, security-groups, and more.
