Create a customizable cross-company log lake for compliance, Part I: Business Background

As described in a previous post, AWS Session Manager, a capability of AWS Systems Manager, can be used to manage access to Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances by administrators who need elevated permissions for setup, troubleshooting, or emergency changes. While working for a large global organization with thousands of accounts, we were asked to answer a specific business question: “What did employees with privileged access do in Session Manager?”

This question had an initial answer: use logging and auditing capabilities of Session Manager and integration with other AWS services, including recording connections (StartSession API calls) with AWS CloudTrail, and recording commands (keystrokes) by streaming session data to Amazon CloudWatch Logs.

This was helpful, but only the beginning. We had more requirements and questions:

• After session activity is logged to CloudWatch Logs, then what?
• How can we provide useful data structures that minimize work to read out, delivering faster performance, using more data, with more convenience?
• How do we support a variety of usage patterns, such as ongoing system-to-system bulk transfer, or an ad-hoc query by a human for a single session?
• How should we share and implement governance?
• Thinking bigger, what about the same question for a different service or across more than one use case? How do we add what other API activity happened before or after a connection—in other words, context?

We needed more comprehensive functionality, more customization, and more control than a single service or feature could offer. Our journey began where previous customer stories about using Session Manager for privileged access (similar to our situation), least privilege, and guardrails ended. We had to create something new that combined existing approaches and ideas:

• Low-level primitives such as Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3).
• Latest features and approaches of AWS, such as vertical and horizontal scaling in AWS Glue.
• Our experience working with legal, audit, and compliance in large enterprise environments.
• Customer feedback.

In this post, we introduce Log Lake, a do-it-yourself data lake based on logs from CloudWatch and AWS CloudTrail. We share our story in three parts:

• Part 1: Business background – We share why we created Log Lake and AWS alternatives that might be faster or easier for you.
• Part 2: Build – We describe the architecture and how to set it up using AWS CloudFormation templates.
• Part 3: Add – We show you how to add invocation logs, model input, and model output from Amazon Bedrock to Log Lake.

Do you really want to do it yourself?

Before you build your own log lake, consider the latest, highest-level options already available in AWS–they can save you a lot of work. Whenever possible, choose AWS services and approaches that abstract away undifferentiated heavy lifting to AWS so you can spend time on adding new business value instead of managing overhead. Know the use cases services were designed for, so you have a sense of what they already can do today and where they’re going tomorrow.

If that doesn’t work, and you don’t see an option that delivers the customer experience you want, then you can mix and match primitives in AWS for more flexibility and freedom, as we did for Log Lake.

Session Manager activity logging

As we mentioned in our introduction, you can save logging data to AmazonS3, add a table on top, and query that table using Amazon Athena—this is what we recommend you consider first because it’s straightforward.

This would result in files with the sessionid in the name. If you want, you can process these files into a calendarday, sessionid, sessiondata format using an S3 event notification that invokes a function (and make sure to save it to a different bucket, in a different table, to avoid causing recursive loops). The function could derive the calendarday and sessionid from the S3 key metadata, and sessiondata would be the entire file contents.

Alternatively, you can sign to one log group in CloudWatch logs, have an Amazon Data Firehose subscription filter move that to S3 (this file would have additional metadata in the JSON content and more customization potential from filters). This was used in our situation, but it wasn’t enough by itself.

AWS CloudTrail Lake

CloudTrail Lake is for running queries on events over years of history and with near real-time latency and offers a deeper and more customizable view of events than CloudTrail Event history. CloudTrail Lake enables you to federate an event data store, which lets you view the metadata in the AWS Glue catalog and run Athena queries. For needs involving one organization and ongoing ingesting from a trail (or point-in-time import from Amazon S3, or both), you can consider CloudTrail Lake.

We considered CloudTrail Lake, as either a managed lake option or source for CloudTrail only, but ended up creating our own AWS Glue job instead. This was because of a combination of reasons, including full control over schema and jobs, ability to ingest data from an S3 bucket of our choosing as an ongoing source, fine-grained filtering on account, AWS Region, and eventName (eventName filtering wasn’t supported for management events ), and cost.

The cost of CloudTrail lake based on uncompressed data ingested (data size can be 10 times larger than in Amazon S3) was a factor for our use case. In one test, we found CloudTrail Lake to be 38 times faster to process the same workload as Log Lake, but Log Lake was 10–100 times less costly depending on filters, timing, and account activity. Our test workload was 15.9 GB file size in S3, 199 million events, and 400 thousand files, spread across over 150 accounts and 3 Regions. Filters Log Lake applied were eventname='StartSession', 'AssumeRole', 'AssumeRoleWithSAML', and five arbitrary allow listed accounts. These tests might be different from your use case, so you should do your own testing, gather your own data, and decide for yourself.

Other services

The products mentioned previously are the most relevant to the outcomes we were trying to accomplish, but you should consider security, identity, and compliance products on AWS, too. These products and features can be used either as an alternative to Log Lake or to add functionality.

As an example, Amazon Bedrock can add functionality in three ways:

• To skip the search and query Log Lake for you
• To summarize across logs
• As a source for logs (similar to Session Manager as a source for CloudWatch logs)

Querying means you can have an AI agent query your AWS Glue catalog (such as the Log Lake catalog) for data-based results. Summarizing means you can use generative artificial intelligence (AI) to summarize your text logs from a knowledge base as part of retrieval augmented generation (RAG), to ask questions like “How many log files are exactly the same? Who changed IAM roles last night?” Considerations and limitations apply.

Adding Amazon Bedrock as a source means using invocation logging to collect requests and responses.

Because we wanted to store very large amounts of data frugally (compressed and columnar format, not text) and produce non-generative (data-based) results that can be used for legal compliance and security, we didn’t use Amazon Bedrock in Log Lake—but we will revisit this topic in Part 3 when we detail how to use the approach we used for Session Manager for Amazon Bedrock.

Business background

When we began talking with our business partners, sponsors, and other stakeholders, important questions, problems, opportunities, and requirements emerged.

Why we needed to do this

Legal, security, identity, and compliance authorities of the large enterprise we were working for had created a customer-specific control. To comply with the control objective, use of elevated privileges required a manager to manually review all available data (including any session manager activity) to confirm or deny if use of elevated privileges was justified. This was a compliance use case that, when solved, could be applied to more use cases such as auditing and reporting.

Note on terms:

• Here, the customer in customer-specific control means a control that is solely the responsibility of a customer, not AWS, as described in the AWS Shared Responsibility Model.
• In this article, we define auditing broadly as testing information technology (IT) controls to mitigate risk, by anyone, at any cadence (ongoing as part of day-to-day operations, or one time only). We don’t refer to auditing that is financial, only conducted by an independent third-party, or only at certain times. We use self-review and auditing interchangeably.
• We also define reporting broadly as presenting data for a specific purpose in a specific format to evaluate business performance and facilitate data-driven decisions—such as answering “how many employees had sessions last week?”

The use case

Our first and most important use case was a manager who needed to review activity, such as from an after-hours on-call page the previous night. If the manager needed to have additional discussions with their employee or needed additional time to consider activity, they had up to a week (7 calendar days) before they needed to confirm or deny elevated privileges were needed, based on their team’s procedures. A manager needed to review an entire set of events that all share the same session, regardless of known keywords or specific strings, as part of all available data in AWS. This was the workflow:

1. Employee uses homegrown application and standardized workflow to access Amazon EC2 with elevated privileges using Session Manager.
2. API activity in CloudTrail and continuous logging to CloudWatch logs.
3. The problem space – Data somehow gets procured, processed, and provided (this would become Log Lake later).
4. Another homegrown system (different from step 1) presents session activity to managers and applies access controls (a manager should only review activity for their own employees, and not be able to peruse data outside their team). This data might be only one StartSession API call and no session details, or might be thousands of lines from cat file
5. The manager reviews all available activity, makes an informed decision, and confirms or denies if use was justified.

This was an ongoing day-to-day operation, with a narrow scope. First, this meant only data available in AWS; if something couldn’t be captured by AWS, it was out of scope. If something was possible, it should be made available. Second, this meant only certain workflows; using Session Manager with elevated privileges for a specific, documented standard operating procedure.

Avoiding review

The simplest solution would be to block sessions on Amazon EC2 with elevated privileges, and fully automate build and deployment. This was possible for some but not all workloads, because some workloads required initial setup, troubleshooting, or emergency changes of Marketplace AMIs.

Is accurate logging and auditing possible?

We won’t extensively detail ways to bypass controls here, but there are important limitations and considerations we had to consider, and we recommend you do too.

First, logging isn’t available for sessionType Port, which includes SSH. This could be mitigated by ensuring employees can only use a custom application layer to start sessions without SSH. Blocking direct SSH access to EC2 instances using security group policies is another option.

Second, there are many ways to intentionally or accidentally hide or obfuscate activity in a session, making review of a specific command difficult or impossible. This was acceptable for our use case for multiple reasons:

• A manager would always know if a session started and needed review from CloudTrail (our source signal). We joined to CloudWatch to meet our all available data requirement.
• Continuous streaming to CloudWatch logs would log activity as it happened. Additionally, streaming to CloudWatch Logs supported interactive shell access, and our use case only used interactive shell access (sessionType Standard_Stream). Streaming isn’t supported for sessionType, InteractiveCommands, or NonInteractiveCommands.
• The most important workflow to review involved an engineered application with one standard operating procedure (less variety than all the ways Session Manager could be used).
• Most importantly, the manager was responsible for reviewing the reports and expected to apply their own judgement and interpret what happened. For example, a manager review could result in a follow up conversation with the employee that could improve business processes. A manager might ask their employee, “Can you help me understand why you ran this command? Do we need to update our runbook or automate something in deployment?”

To protect data against tampering, changes, or deletion, AWS provides tools and features such as AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies and permissions and Amazon S3 Object Lock.

Security and compliance are a shared responsibility between AWS and the customer, and customers need to decide what AWS services and features to use for their use case. We recommend customers consider a comprehensive approach that considers overall system design and includes multiple layers of security controls (defense in depth). For more information, see the Security pillar of the AWS Well-Architected Framework.

Avoiding automation

Manual review can be a painful process, but we couldn’t automate review for two reasons: Legal requirements and to add friction to the feedback loop felt by a manager whenever an employee used elevated privileges, to discourage using elevated privileges.

Works with existing

We had to work with existing architecture, spanning thousands of accounts and multiple AWS Organizations. This meant sourcing data from buckets as an edge and point of ingress. Specifically, CloudTrail data was managed and consolidated outside of CloudTrail, across organizations and trails, into S3 buckets. CloudWatch data was also consolidated to S3 buckets, from Session Manager to CloudWatch Logs, with Amazon Data Firehose subscription filters on CloudWatch Logs pointing to S3. To avoid negative side effects on existing business processes, our business partners didn’t want to change settings in CloudTrail, CloudWatch, and Firehose. This meant Log Lake needed features and flexibility that enabled changes without impacting other workstreams using the same sources.

Event filtering is not a data lake

Before we were asked to help, there were attempts to do event filtering. One attempt tried to monitor session activity using Amazon EventBridge. This was limited to AWS API operations recorded by CloudTrail such as StartSession and didn’t include the information from inside the session, which was in CloudWatch Logs. Another attempt tried event filtering CloudWatch in the form of a subscription filter. Also, an attempt was made using EventBridge Event Bus with EventBridge rules, and storage in Amazon DynamoDB. These attempts didn’t deliver the expected results because of a combination of factors:

Size

Couldn’t accept large session log payloads because of the EventBridge PutEvents limit of 256 KB entry size. Saving large entries to Amazon S3 and using the object URL in the PutEvents entry would avoid this limitation in EventBridge, but wouldn’t pass the most important information the manager needed to review (the event’s sessionData element). This meant managing files and physical dependencies, and losing the metastore benefit of working with data as logical sets and objects.

Storage

Event filtering was a way to process data, not storage or a source of truth. We asked, how do we restore data lost in flight or destroyed after landing? If components are deleted or undergoing maintenance, can we still procure, process, and provide data—at all three layers independently? Without storage, no.

Data quality

No source of truth meant data quality checks weren’t possible.  We couldn’t answer questions like: “Did the last job process more than 90 percent of events from CloudTrail in DynamoDB?” or“What percentage are we missing from source to target?”

Anti-patterns

DynamoDB as long-term storage wasn’t the most appropriate data store for large analytical workloads, low I/O, and highly complex many-to-many joins.

Reading out

Deliveries were fast, but work (and time and cost) was needed after delivery. In other words, queries had to do extra work to transform raw data into the needed format at time of read, which had a significant, cumulative effect on performance and cost. Imagine users running a select * from table without any filters on years of data and paying for storage and compute of those queries.

Cost of ownership

Filtering by event contents (sessionData from CloudWatch) required knowledge of session behavior, which was business logic. This meant changes to business logic required changes to event filtering. Imagine being asked to change CloudWatch filters or EventBridge rules based on a business process change, and trying to remember where to make the change, or troubleshoot why expected events weren’t being passed. This meant a higher cost of ownership and slower cycle times at best, and inability to meet SLA and scale at worst.

Accidental coupling

Creates accidental coupling between downstream consumers and low-level events. Consumers who directly integrate against events might get different schemas at different times for the same events, or events they don’t need. There’s no way to manage data at a higher level than event, at the level of sets (like all events for one sessionid), or at the object level (a table designed for dependencies). In other words, there was no metastore layer that separated the schema from the files, like in a data lake.

More sources (data to load in)

There were other, less important use cases that we wanted to expand to later: inventory management and security.

For inventory management, such as identifying EC2 instances running a Systems Manager agent that’s missing a patch, finding IAM users with inline policies, or finding Redshift clusters with nodes that aren’t RA3. This data would come from AWS Config unless it isn’t a supported resource type. We cut inventory management from scope because AWS Config data could be added to an AWS Glue catalog later, and queried from Athena using an approach like the one described in How to query your AWS resource configuration states using AWS Config and Amazon Athena.

For security, Splunk and OpenSearch were already in use for serviceability and operational analysis, sourcing files from Amazon S3. Log Lake is a complementary approach sourcing from the same data, which adds metadata and simplified data structures at the cost of latency. For more information about having different tools analyze the same data, see Solving big data problems on AWS.

More use cases (reasons to read out)

We knew from the first meeting that this was a bigger opportunity than just building a dataset for sessions from Systems Manager for manual manager review. Once we had procured logs from CloudTrail and CloudWatch, set up Glue jobs to process logs into convenient tables, and were able to join across these tables, we could change filters and configuration settings to answer questions about additional services and use cases, too. Similar to how we process data for Session Manager, we could expand the filters on Log Lake’s Glue jobs, and add data for Amazon Bedrock model invocation logging. For other use cases, we could use Log Lake as a source for automation (rules-based or ML), deep forensic investigations, or string-match searches (such as IP addresses or user names).

Additional technical considerations

*How did we define session? We would always know if a session started from StartSession event in CloudTrail API activity. Regarding when a session ended, we did not use TerminateSession because this was not always present and we considered this domain-specific logic. Log Lake enabled downstream customers to decide how to interpret the data. For example, our most important workflow had a Systems Manager timeout of 15 minutes, and our SLA was 90 minutes. This meant managers knew a session with a start time more than 2 hours prior to the current time was already ended.

*CloudWatch data required additional processing compared to CloudTrail, because CloudWatch logs from Firehose were saved in gzip format without gz suffix and had multiple JSON documents in the same line that needed to be processed to be on separate lines. Firehose can transform and convert records, such as invoking a Lambda function to transform, convert JSON to ORC, and decompress data, but our business partners didn’t want to change existing settings.

How to get the data (a deep dive)

To support the dataset needed for a manager to review, we needed to identify API-specific metadata (time, event source, and event name), and then join it to session data. CloudTrail was necessary because it was the most authoritative source for AWS API activity, specifically StartSession and AssumeRole and AssumeRoleWithSAML events, and contained context that didn’t exist in CloudWatch Logs (such as the error code AccessDenied) which could be useful for compliance and investigation. CloudWatch was necessary because it contained the keystrokes in a session, in the CloudWatch log’s sessionData element. We needed to obtain the AWS source of record from CloudTrail, but we recommend you check with your authorities to confirm you really need to join to CloudTrail. We mention this in case you hear this question “why not derive some sort of earliest eventTime from CloudWatch logs, and skip joining to CloudTrail entirely? That would cut size and complexity by half.”

To join CloudTrail (eventTime, eventname, errorCode, errorMessage, and so on) with CloudWatch (sessionData), we had to do the following:

1. Get the higher level API data from CloudTrail (time, event source, and event name), as the authoritative source for auditing Session Manager. To get this, we needed to look inside all CloudTrail logs and get only the rows with eventname=‘StartSession’ and eventsource=‘ssm.amazonaws.com’ (events from Systems Manager)—our business partners described this as looking for a needle in a haystack, because this could be only one session event across millions or billions of files. After we obtained this metadata, we needed to extract the sessionid to know what session to join it to, and we chose to extract sessionid from responseelements. Alternatively, we could use useridentity.sessioncontext.sourceidentity if a principal provided it while assuming a role (requires sts:SetSourceIdentity in the role trust policy).

Sample of a single record’s responseelements.sessionid value: "sessionid":"theuser-thefederation-0b7c1cc185ccf51a9"

The actual sessionid was the final element of the logstream: 0b7c1cc185ccf51a9.

2. Next we needed to get all logs for a single session from CloudWatch. Similarly to CloudTrail, we needed to look inside all CloudWatch logs landing in Amazon S3 from Firehose to identify only the needles that contained "logGroup":"/aws/ssm/sessionlogs". Then, we could get sessionid from logstream or sessionId, and get session activity from the message.sessionData.

Sample of a single record’s logStream element: "sessionId": "theuser-thefederation-0b7c1cc185ccf51a9"

Note: Looking inside the log isn’t always necessary. We did it because we had to work with existing logs Firehose put to Amazon S3, which didn’t have the logstream (and sessionid) in the file name. For example, a file from Firehose might have a name like

cloudwatch-logs-otherlogs-3-2024-03-03-22-22-55-55239a3d-622e-40c0-9615-ad4f5d4381fa

If we were able to use the ability of Session Manager to send to S3 directly, the file name in S3 is the loggroup (theuser-thefederation-0b7c1cc185ccf51a9.dms)and could be used to derive sessionid without looking inside the file.

3. Downstream of Log Lake, consumers could join on sessionid which was derived in the previous step.

What’s different about Log Lake

If you remember one thing about Log Lake, remember this: Log Lake is a data lake for compliance-related use cases, uses CloudTrail and CloudWatch as data sources, has separate tables for writing (original raw) and reading (read-optimized or readready), and gives you control over all components so you can customize it for yourself.

Here are some of the signature qualities of Log Lake:

Legal, identity, or compliance use cases

This includes deep dive forensic investigation, meaning use cases that are large volume, historical, and analytical. Because Log Lake uses Amazon S3, it can meet regulatory requirements that require write-once-read-many (WORM) storage.

AWS Well-Architected Framework

Log Lake applies real-world, time-tested design principles from the AWS Well-Architected Framework. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Using the technology approach that best aligns with your goals (Performance Efficiency pillar).
• Horizontal scaling, workload utilization, avoiding resource saturation, and recovering from failure (Reliability pillar). There were two scenarios we especially wanted to enable that didn’t exist when we began: regular run” jobs that ran at a predefined cadence with auto backfill ability (a failure of one or more jobs could be recovered by a subsequent job), and large backfills (hours or more). Another way we implemented resiliency was timeouts and retries in both file processing (AddAPart function) and metadata processing (AWS Glue jobs). If you want more resiliency you can add additional independent replicas of functionality, such as jobs, storage, or delivery doors, as part of a cell-based architecture.
• Anticipating and learning from failure and implementing observability (Operational Excellence pillar). For jobs, this meant monitoring and alarming on workload utilization and timeouts. For storage this meant CloudWatch metrics for Amazon S3.

Operational Excellence also meant knowing service quotas, performing workload testing, and defining and documenting runbook processes. If we hadn’t tried to break something to see where the limit is, then we considered it untested and inappropriate for production use. To test, we would determine the highest single day volume we’d seen in the past year, and then run that same volume in an hour to see if (and how) it would break.

High-Performance, Portable Partition Adding (AddAPart)

Log Lake adds partitions to tables using Lambda functions with SQS, a pattern we call AddAPart. This uses Amazon Simple Query Service (SQS) to decouple triggers (files landing in Amazon S3) from actions (associating that file with metastore partition). Think of this as having four F’s:

• Fair (first in, first out)
• Flat (idempotent logic to deduplicate and avoid unnecessary API calls from different files triggering the same action)
• File Filtering (on name).

This means no AWS Glue crawlers, no alter table or msck repair table to add partitions in Athena, and can be reused across sources and buckets. The management of partitions in Log Lake makes using partition-related features available in AWS Glue, including AWS Glue partition indexes and workload partitioning and bounded execution.

File name filtering uses the same central controls for lower cost of ownership, faster changes, troubleshooting from one location, and emergency levers—this means that if you want to avoid log recursion happening from a specific account, or want to exclude a Region because of regulatory compliance, you can do it in one place, managed by your change control process, before you pay for processing in downstream jobs.

If you want to tell a team, “onboard your data source to our log lake, here are the steps you can use to self-serve,” you can use AddAPart to do that. We describe this in Part 2.

Readready Tables

In Log Lake, data structures offer differentiated value to users, and original raw data isn’t directly exposed to downstream users by default. For each source, Log Lake has a corresponding read-optimized readready table.

Instead of this:

from_cloudtrail_raw

from_cloudwatch_raw

Log Lake exposes only these to users:

from_cloudtrail_readready

from_cloudwatch_readready

In Part 2, we describe these tables in detail. Here are our answers to frequently asked questions about readready tables:

Q: Doesn’t this have an up-front cost to process raw into readready? Why not pass the work (and cost) to downstream users?

A: Yes, and for us the cost of processing partitions of raw into readready happened once and was fixed, and was offset by the variable costs of querying, which was from many company-wide callers (systemic and human), with high frequency, and large volume.

Q: How much better are readready tables in terms of performance, cost, and convenience? How do you achieve these gains? How do you measure “convenience”?

A: In most tests, readready tables are 5–10 times faster to query and more than 2 times smaller in Amazon S3. Log Lake applies more than one technique: omitting columns, partition design, AWS Glue partition indexes, data types (readready tables don’t allow any nested complex data types within a column, such as struct<struct>), columnar storage (ORC), and compression (ZLIB). We measure convenience as the amount of operations required to join on a sessionid; using Log Lake’s readready tables this is 0 (zero).

Q: Do raw and readready use the same files or buckets?

A: No, files and buckets are not shared. This decouples writes from reads, improves both write and read performance, and adds resiliency.

This question is important when designing for large sizes and scaling, because a single job or downstream read alone can span millions of files in Amazon S3. S3 scaling doesn’t happen immediately, so queries against raw or original data involving many tiny JSON files can cause S3 503 errors when it exceeds 5,500 GET/HEAD per second. More than one bucket helps avoid resource saturation. There is another option that we didn’t have when we created Log Lake: S3 Express One Zone. For reliability, we still recommend not putting all your files in one bucket. Also, don’t forget to filter your data.

Customization and control

You can customize and control all components (columns or schema, data types, compression, job logic, job schedule, and so on) because Log Lake is built using AWS primitives—such as Amazon SQS and Amazon S3—for the most comprehensive combination of features with the most freedom to customize. If you want to change something, you can.

From mono to many

Rather than one large, monolithic lake that is tightly coupled to other systems, Log Lake is just one node in a larger network of distributed data products across different data domains—this concept is data mesh. Just like the AWS APIs it is built on, Log Lake abstracts away heavy lifting and enables users to move faster, more efficiently, and not wait for centralized teams to make changes. Log Lake does not try to cover all use cases—instead, Log Lake’s data can be accessed and consumed by domain-specific teams, empowering business experts to self-serve.

When you need more flexibility and freedom

As builders, sometimes you want to dissect a customer experience, find problems, and figure out ways to make it better. That means going a layer down to mix and match primitives together to get more comprehensive features and more customization, flexibility, and freedom.

We built Log Lake for our long-term needs, but it would have been easier in the short-term to save Session Manager logs to Amazon S3 and query them with Athena. If you have considered what already exists in AWS, and you’re sure you need more comprehensive abilities or customization, read on to Part 2: Build, which explains Log Lake’s architecture and how you can set it up.
