# Ingest CloudWatch Logs

{% hint style="info" %}
This feature is only available for BYOC deployments.
{% endhint %}

groundcover allows ingesting logs from CloudWatch by setting up an [Amazon Firehose stream.](https://aws.amazon.com/firehose/)

To automate the integration with CloudWatch Logs, you can use a CloudFormation template. Follow the instructions in the [dedicated CloudFormation documentation](https://docs.groundcover.com/integrations/data-sources/aws/ingest-cloudwatch-logs/using-cloudformation-for-cloudwatch-logs-integration) to set up and manage the integration.

For a manual process which will create the components of the integration, [follow this page](https://docs.groundcover.com/integrations/data-sources/aws/ingest-cloudwatch-logs/manual-setup-of-the-integration).
