How to Automate Centralized Logging and Integrate with Datadog
Having to debug a system with logs scattered in different places can make troubleshooting difficult, which is one of the reasons we recommend customers deliver AWS CloudTrail logs to a centralized Amazon S3 bucket.

Customers can integrate with solutions such as Datadog, which allows you to configure monitors and send critical change notifications to your team.
