Fastly's [Real-Time Log Streaming](https://www.fastly.com/documentation/guides/integrations/streaming-logs/about-fastlys-realtime-log-streaming-features) feature can send log files to [Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage](https://wasabi.com/cloud-object-storage) using Wasabi's S3-compatible API connectivity option. Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage is a static file storage service used by developers and IT teams.

## Prerequisites

Before adding Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage as a logging endpoint for Fastly services, we recommend creating an Access Key to which you've given read and write permissions on the bucket.

## Adding Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage as a logging endpoint

> **IMPORTANT:** This logging endpoint is only available for Fastly's Deliver (VCL-based) services, not for Compute services.

After you've registered for an Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage account and created an Access Key, follow these instructions to add Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage as a logging endpoint:

### Cdn Services

1.   Review the information in our guide to [setting up remote log streaming](/guides/integrations/streaming-logs/setting-up-remote-log-streaming).

2. Click the Amazon Web Services S3 logo.
3. Fill out the **Create an Amazon S3 endpoint** fields as follows:
   -   In the **Name** field, enter a human-readable name for the endpoint.

   -   In the **Placement** area, select where the logging call should be placed in the generated VCL. Valid values are **Format Version Default** and **None**. Read our guide on [changing log placement](/guides/integrations/streaming-logs/changing-log-placement) for more information.

   -   In the **Log format** field, optionally enter an Apache-style string or VCL variables to use for log formatting. Consult the [example format section](#example-format) for details.

   -   *(Optional)* In the **Timestamp format** field, enter a timestamp format for log files. The default is an `strftime` compatible string. Our guide on [changing where log files are written](/guides/integrations/streaming-logs/changing-where-log-files-are-written) provides more information.

   - In the **Bucket name** field, enter the name of the Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage bucket in which to store the logs.
   - In the **Access method** area, select **User Credentials**.
   - In the **Access key** field, enter the access key associated with the Wasabi account. See Wasabi's [Access Key Guide](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/access-keys-1) for more information.
   - In the **Secret key** field, enter the secret key associated with the Wasabi account. See Wasabi's [Access Key Guide](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/access-keys-1) for more information.
   -   *(Optional)* In the **Period** field, enter an interval (in seconds) to control how frequently your log files are rotated. Rotation entails the finalization of one file object and the start of a new one, never removing any previously created file object. This value defaults to `3600` seconds.

   -   *(Optional)* In the **Period** field, enter an interval (in seconds) to control how frequently your log files are rotated. Rotation entails the finalization of one file object and the start of a new one, never removing any previously created file object. This value defaults to `3600` seconds.

4. Click **Advanced options** and fill out the fields as follows:
   -   *(Optional)* In the **Path** field, enter the path within the bucket to store the files. The path ends with a trailing slash. If this field is left empty, the files will be saved in the bucket's root path. Our guide on [changing where log files are written](/guides/integrations/streaming-logs/changing-where-log-files-are-written) provides more information.

   - In the **Domain** field, enter `s3.wasabisys.com`.
   -   *(Optional)* In the **PGP public key** field, enter a PGP public key that Fastly will use to encrypt your log files before writing them to disk. You will only be able to read the contents by decrypting them with your private key. The PGP key should be in [PEM (Privacy-Enhanced Mail) format](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privacy-enhanced_Electronic_Mail). Read our guide on [log encryption](/guides/integrations/streaming-logs/encrypting-logs) for more information.

   -   In the **Select a log line format** area, select the log line format for your log messages. Our guide on [changing log line formats](/guides/integrations/streaming-logs/changing-log-line-formats) provides more information.

   -   *(Optional)* In the **Compression** field, select the compression format you want applied to the log files. Our guide on [changing log compression options](/guides/integrations/streaming-logs/changing-log-compression-options) provides more information.

   - The **Redundancy level** option is not useful as Wasabi only provides a single storage class which is most like the standard AWS S3 storage class. Wasabi's [Object Storage Class documentation](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/operations-on-objects#object-storage-class) provides more information on using reduced redundancy storage.
   - _(Optional)_ In the **Server side encryption** area, select an encryption method to protect files that Fastly writes to your Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage bucket. Valid values are **None** and **AES-256**. See [Wasabi's guide to this feature](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/operations-on-objects#object-serverside-encryption) which is functionally identical to [Amazon's implementation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/serv-side-encryption.html) except for lack of support for a key management service.
5.   Click **Create** to create the new logging endpoint.

6.   From the **Activate** menu, select **Activate on Production** to deploy your configuration changes.

> **HINT:** Although Fastly continuously streams logs into Wasabi, the Wasabi website and API do not make files available for access until after their upload is complete.

### Example format

The following is an example format string for sending data to Wasabi. Our discussion of [format strings](https://www.fastly.com/documentation/guides/integrations/streaming-logs/custom-log-formats) provides more information.
