Deploy Elastic Serverless Forwarderedit

To deploy Elastic Serverless Forwarder, you have to:

Prerequisitesedit

This documentation assumes you have some familiarity with AWS services and you have correctly created and configured the necessary AWS objects. For example, if you want to use an Amazon S3 (via SQS event notifications) input then you must ensure that you have enabled AWS VPC flow logs to be sent to that bucket, and created an SQS queue to receive those logs. For more information, refer to the relevant AWS docs.

This page describes the basic steps required to deploy Elastic Serverless Forwarder for AWS— for additional information on configuration topics such as permissions and automatic routing, and parsing and enriching data, see Configuration options.

Deploying directly without SARedit

If the customization options available when deploying via Serverless Application Repository (SAR) are not sufficient, from version 1.6.0 and above you can deploy the Elastic Serverless Forwarder directly to your AWS Account without using SAR. This enables you to customize the event source settings for the inputs (i.e. triggers) one-by-one.
