AWS VPN

Overview

AWS VPN lets you establish a secure and private tunnel from your network or device to the AWS global network.

Enable this integration to see all your VPN metrics in Datadog.

If you haven’t already, set up the Amazon Web Services integration first.

In the AWS integration page, ensure that VPN is enabled under the Metric Collection tab.
Install the Datadog - AWS VPN integration.

Configure AWS VPN to send logs either to a S3 bucket or to CloudWatch.

Note: If you log to a S3 bucket, make sure that amazon_vpn is set as Target prefix.

If you haven’t already, set up the Datadog Forwarder Lambda function.
Once the Lambda function is installed, manually add a trigger on the S3 bucket or CloudWatch log group that contains your AWS VPN logs in the AWS console:
- Add a manual trigger on the S3 bucket
- Add a manual trigger on the CloudWatch Log Group
