AWS WAF Console adds new Top Insights Visualizations

Published Date: 2025-01-03 18:00:00

AWS WAF’s console dashboard now includes richer visualizations that give you insights into the top sources of traffic. With this feature, customers with CloudWatch logging destinations can view a new top insights section within the all traffic dashboard. Customers previously used the all traffic dashboard, a default dashboard that populates visualizations based on CloudWatch metrics. As customers strive to continue gaining additional visibility into their traffic, they have requested richer visualizations based on logs in addition to visualizations based on CloudWatch metrics. Starting today, customers with CloudWatch logging destinations will have access to this new top insights section within the all traffic dashboard, which includes richer visualizations based on terminating rules, client IPs, URI path, and more. These top insights will enable customers to better understand their security posture, quickly identify anomalies, and optimize their WAF configurations accordingly. For example, if a customer sees more than expected traffic from an suspicious IP address, they can take steps to create a IP-blocking rule to address this anomaly. Standard CloudWatch pricing applies to metrics and logs queried through the dashboard. For more information about pricing, visit the AWS CloudWatch Pricing page. The feature is available in all commercial AWS Regions where WAF is available for all supported origins, except for China regions. For more information about the all traffic dashboard, visit the Developer Guide. ?

AWS Application Discovery Services now supports IPv6 endpoints

Published Date: 2025-01-02 18:00:00

AWS Application Discovery Service (ADS) customers can now use Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) addresses, via our new dual-stack domains, while discovering on-premises server inventory as part of a cloud migration. The existing ADS endpoints supporting IPv4 will remain for backwards compatibility. The continued growth of the Internet, particularly in the areas of mobile applications, connected devices, and IoT, has spurred an industry-wide move to IPv6. IPv6 increases the number of available addresses by several orders of magnitude so customers will no longer need to manage overlapping address spaces in their VPCs. The new dual-stack domains is available either from the internet or from within an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) using AWS PrivateLink in all AWS Regions where AWS Application Discovery Service is available. To get started, see the ADS user guide. ?
