+## Amazon API Gateway Access Logging Setup
+
+This snippet assumes that Amazon API Gateway logs requests to Amazon CloudWatch Logs using JSON and the following log format:
+
+```json
+{ 
+"requestId":"$context.requestId", 
+"ip": "$context.identity.sourceIp", 
+"apiKey": "$context.identity.apiKey", 
+"requestTime":"$context.requestTime", 
+"httpMethod":"$context.httpMethod",
+"routeKey":"$context.routeKey", 
+"path":"$context.path", 
+"status": $context.status,
+"protocol":"$context.protocol", 
+"integrationStatus": $context.integrationStatus, 
+"integrationLatency": $context.integrationLatency, 
+"responseLatency":$context.responseLatency, 
+"responseLength": $context.responseLength 
+}
+```
+
+You can modify log format to fit your needs (make sure to update code snippet if field names change). 
+
+
+See documentation for more details on how to set up API Gateway logging in HTTP (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide/http-api-logging.html) and REST (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide/set-up-logging.html) APIs.
