Amazon MSK now supports Authorizer Log Delivery, at no additional cost

Posted on: Aug 7, 2026

Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (MSK) now supports Authorizer Log Delivery for Provisioned clusters, including both Standard and Express brokers, at no additional cost. With authorizer logs, you get detailed visibility into user and application access, identify and address client authorization issues, and meet your organization's security requirements. Each denied request is captured with the client's IP address and the API it attempted, so you can pinpoint the root cause. You can deliver logs to Amazon CloudWatch Logs, Amazon S3, or Amazon Data Firehose. Authorizer Log Delivery is available for both new and existing Provisioned clusters. You can enable it from the Amazon MSK console or Amazon CLI.

Amazon MSK is a fully managed service for Apache Kafka that provides an easy way to ingest and process streaming data in real time. Authorizer Log Delivery is supported in all Amazon Web Services regions, including the Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet and the Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD. With Amazon MSK, you spend more time innovating on applications and less time managing clusters.
