Forward telemetry data

Last9 control plane allows forwarding telemetry data to object storage such as AWS S3 without storing it. Forwarding capability is useful for forwarding certain logs that are not useful for frequent querying but only need to be stored for compliance.

Configure AWS S3 backend

Before creating the forward rule, configure an AWS S3 bucket where Last9 can forward telemetry data using IAM AssumeRole.

Configure Cold Storage

Create a new forward rule

Head to the Control Plane and create a new Forward Rule.
