Coralogix provides integration to connect `Logstash` to `AWS Kinesis` , so you can send your logs from anywhere into Coralogix.

## Prerequisites[​](#prerequisites "Direct link to Prerequisites")

* Logstash [installed](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/installing-logstash.html)

## Usage[​](#usage "Direct link to Usage")

You must provide the following four variables when creating a *Coralogix* logger instance.

**Private Key** – Your [Send Your Data - API Key](https://docs-docusaurus.kinsta.page/user-guides/account-management/api-keys/send-your-data-api-key/.md) is a unique ID that represents your company.

**Application Name** – The name of your environment, for example, a company named *"SuperData"* would probably insert the *"SuperData"* string parameter or if they want to debug their test environment they might insert the *"SuperData– Test"*.

**SubSystem Name** – Your application probably has multiple components, for example: Backend servers, Middleware, Frontend servers etc. in order to help you examine the data you need, inserting the subsystem parameter is vital.

**Region** - The AWS region for Kinesis.
