Amazon CloudFront App for Sumo Logic

Amazon CloudFront does a lot for websites’ performance. It allows for quicker deployment of services, it speeds up delivery of cached and dynamic content, and it can protect against DDoS attacks and other cyber threats. By improving delivery and end user experiences, of course, it ultimately helps increase revenue and profits.

Unfortunately, these perks aren’t a guarantee for any CloudFront implementation. In fact, they can all be lost on a CloudFront CDN that isn’t optimally configured, and the company leveraging it still will end up with less-than stellar website performance and a subpar user experience.

This is where the Sumo Logic App for CloudFront comes in.

With the app’s advanced logging functionality, you can easily troubleshoot issues and validate the value-add of your content delivery service, making adjustments to improve performance, user experience, availability, and security. Sign up for a free trial.

Sumo Logic offers an application purpose-built for AWS CloudFront that helps you:

• Analyze visitors and content being served.
• Correlate the CloudFront data with internally data to measure the impact of CloudFront as a CDN.
• Create insights into users' activity trails.
• Troubleshoot quickly to improve quality of service and reduce errors/downtime.

The Sumo Logic Application for Amazon CloudFront provides analytics on visitor information, rates and statistics, content being served, and other metrics. The app uses predefined searches and dashboards that provide visibility into your environment for real-time analysis of overall usage.

The app’s overview dashboard gives a real-time view of key measures such as client geographical distribution, cache hit and miss, requests served by edge location, and number of unique visitors. Additional views quickly produce dashboards on web operations metrics and visitor statistics.
