  "Statement": [
    {
      "Sid": "SidID",
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": ["s3:GetObject", "s3:ListBucket"],
      "Resource": ["arn:aws:s3:::your-bucket/*"]

AWS ELB Classic Logging Overview

Sending data to Logit.io from Amazon Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) Classic is a streamlined process that empowers businesses to centralize their log and metrics data for enhanced monitoring and analysis.

To further enhance the capabilities of your AWS environment, consider integrating Amazon RDS into your Logit.io account. Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) simplifies database management, offering high availability, security, and scalability.

In addition, by integrating Amazon ELB Classic logs and metrics with CloudWatch, you can set up automated responses to events and proactively address any issues that may arise. Efficient integration is a hallmark of Logit.io's AWS logging (opens in a new tab), which includes these integrations and more.
