Amazon Exam SCS-C02 Topic 2 Question 51 Discussion

[All SCS-C02 Questions]

[Logging and Monitoring]

A company hosts a web application on an Apache web server. The application runs on Amazon EC2 instances that are in an Auto Scaling group. The company configured the EC2 instances to send the Apache web server logs to an Amazon CloudWatch Logs group that the company has configured to expire after 1 year.

Recently, the company discovered in the Apache web server logs that a specific IP address is sending suspicious requests to the web application. A security engineer wants to analyze the past week of Apache web server logs to determine how many requests that the IP address sent and the corresponding URLs that the IP address requested.

What should the security engineer do to meet these requirements with the LEAST effort?

I'm a bit confused by the different options here. Exporting the logs to S3 and then using Macie or Glue seems like a lot of extra work when CloudWatch Logs Insights is an option. I'll need to read through the question more carefully to understand the tradeoffs.

This looks like a straightforward logging and monitoring question. I'd probably go with option C - CloudWatch Logs Insights seems like the easiest way to analyze the logs without having to export or process them elsewhere.

I vaguely recall something about AWS Glue, but it sounds like it would take more steps than just using CloudWatch Logs Insights.

I feel like we practiced a similar question where we had to analyze logs, and using OpenSearch seemed like overkill for just checking an IP address.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think exporting to S3 and using Amazon Macie might be more complex than just querying directly in CloudWatch.

I remember we discussed using CloudWatch Logs Insights for analyzing logs quickly. It seems like the least effort option here.
