## Impact

Enabling the custom access logging option in API Gateway allows delivery of custom logs to CloudWatch Logs, which can be analyzed using CloudWatch Logs Insights. Using custom domain names in Amazon API Gateway allows insights into requests sent to each custom domain name. If there is more than one custom domain name mapped to a single API, understanding the quantity and type of requests by domain name may help understand request patterns.

## How to Fix

*Resource:* AWS::ApiGateway::Stage

* *Arguments:* Properties.AccessLogSettings.DestinationArn \[source,go]

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/appsec-rules/iac-security/logging/appsec-aws-76.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
