Which CloudFront log format is supported?

CloudFront standard access logs in the W3C format. The format is auto-detected on upload, and a custom column mapping is available for anything non-standard.

Do I need to unzip the files first?

No. Gzipped (.gz) log files are supported natively, so you can upload them exactly as CloudFront writes them to S3.

Can I automate this instead of uploading manually?

Manual upload is the supported path today. If you want a fully automated CloudFront pipeline, request it from inside the product and we will prioritize it with your vote.

Features

Your CloudFront logs already hold the answer

Every AI agent request to your distribution is sitting in your access logs. LLM Pulse reads them and shows you who is crawling what.

Drag, drop, done

Upload CloudFront access logs straight from S3 exports. The W3C log format is detected automatically, including gzipped (.gz) files, with no preprocessing.

AI bots extracted automatically

User agents are matched against our catalog of AI bots, covering GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, OAI-SearchBot, Google-Extended, Bytespider, Amazonbot and more.

Backfill history in one upload

CloudFront logs go back as far as you keep them. Upload weeks or months at once and get an instant historical view of AI agent demand.

No tags, no JavaScript, no gaps

Access logs record every request at the edge, including all the bots that client-side analytics never see.

From S3 bucket to AI bot dashboard

No integration to configure, just your existing logs.

Explore your AI bot traffic

Totals, time series, top bots and top companies are computed immediately. Upload new log batches whenever you want to extend the series.

"After noticing rising visits from various LLMs in GA4, we needed visibility into those black boxes: which models were mentioning us, in which answers, and how that was changing over time. LLM Pulse gave us the clarity to understand our brand's evolution across AI models and to shape new strategies to boost our exposure."
