(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Amazon Web Service’s (aws.amazon.com) content delivery service, Amazon CloudFront, now has access logging capabilities, letting users record detailed activity records of every request delivered through Amazon’s content delivery network.
According to Amazon’s Thursday announcement, the improvement came after many customers requested more information about how, when, where and to whom their content is being delivered. Access logs contain a comprehensive set of information including the object requested, the date and time of the request, the edge location serving the request, the client IP address, the referrer and the user agent.
A number of management services have also been announced, such as the free Cloudberry S3 Explorer, which simplifies the control of CloudFront logging. Also, Good Data has made an on-demand service to analyze and report on CloudFront performance and traffic. Using a pre-built dashboard, users can analyze data and send finished reports and charts to a corporate portal or wiki. BucketExplorer has also added support for logging, as well as added support for creating and managing distributions, the ability to map CNAMEs to distributions, batch-mode ACL updates, automated bucket backup.
The Amazon Elastic MapReduce team has also built a sample application, CloudFront LogAnalyzer, which analyzes Amazon CloudFront access logs using the power of Amazon Elastic MapReduce to make access logs useful in addressing business concerns.
