Querying Amazon CloudFront logs

Copy and paste the following example DDL statement into the Query Editor in the Athena console. The example statement uses the log file fields documented in the Standard log file fields section of the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide. Modify the LOCATION for the Amazon S3 bucket that stores your logs. For information about using the Query Editor, see Getting started.

This query specifies ROW FORMAT DELIMITED and FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\t' to indicate that the fields are delimited by tab characters. For ROW FORMAT DELIMITED, Athena uses the LazySimpleSerDe by default. The column date is escaped using backticks (`) because it is a reserved word in Athena. For information, see Reserved keywords.

Run the query in Athena console. After the query completes, Athena registers the cloudfront_standard_logs table, making the data in it ready for you to issue queries.

Copy and paste the following example DDL statement into the Query Editor in the Athena console. The example statement uses the log file fields documented in the Real-time logs section of the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide. Modify the LOCATION for the Amazon S3 bucket that stores your logs. For information about using the Query Editor, see Getting started.

This query specifies ROW FORMAT DELIMITED and FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\t' to indicate that the fields are delimited by tab characters. For ROW FORMAT DELIMITED, Athena uses the LazySimpleSerDe by default. The column timestamp is escaped using backticks (`) because it is a reserved word in Athena.
