AWS WAF is a web application firewall that helps protect web applications from attacks by allowing you to configure rules that allow, block, or monitor (count) web requests based on conditions that you define.

## Send data to Hunters

**To connect AWS WAF logs:**

1. Follow [this guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/waf/latest/developerguide/logging-s3.html) by AWS to export the logs to an S3 bucket.
2. Once the export is completed and the logs are collected to S3, follow the steps in [this section](https://hunters.document360.io/docs/connect-data-through-aws-s3).

## Expected format

Logs are expected in JSON format.
