# LoggingConfig
<a name="API_LoggingConfig"></a>

A complex type that specifies whether access logs are written for the distribution.

**Note**  
If you already enabled standard logging (legacy) and you want to enable standard logging (v2) to send your access logs to Amazon S3, we recommend that you specify a *different* Amazon S3 bucket or use a *separate path* in the same bucket (for example, use a log prefix or partitioning). This helps you keep track of which log files are associated with which logging subscription and prevents log files from overwriting each other. For more information, see [Standard logging (access logs)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/AccessLogs.html) in the *Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide*.

 ** Bucket **   <a name="cloudfront-Type-LoggingConfig-Bucket"></a>
The Amazon S3 bucket to store the access logs in, for example, `amzn-s3-demo-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com`.  
Type: String  
Required: No

 ** Enabled **   <a name="cloudfront-Type-LoggingConfig-Enabled"></a>
Specifies whether you want CloudFront to save access logs to an Amazon S3 bucket. If you don't want to enable logging when you create a distribution or if you want to disable logging for an existing distribution, specify `false` for `Enabled`, and specify empty `Bucket` and `Prefix` elements. If you specify `false` for `Enabled` but you specify values for `Bucket` and `prefix`, the values are automatically deleted.  
Type: Boolean  
Required: No

 ** IncludeCookies **   <a name="cloudfront-Type-LoggingConfig-IncludeCookies"></a>
Specifies whether you want CloudFront to include cookies in access logs, specify `true` for `IncludeCookies`. If you choose to include cookies in logs, CloudFront logs all cookies regardless of how you configure the cache behaviors for this distribution. If you don't want to include cookies when you create a distribution or if you want to disable include cookies for an existing distribution, specify `false` for `IncludeCookies`.  
Type: Boolean  
Required: No

 ** Prefix **   <a name="cloudfront-Type-LoggingConfig-Prefix"></a>
An optional string that you want CloudFront to prefix to the access log `filenames` for this distribution, for example, `myprefix/`. If you want to enable logging, but you don't want to specify a prefix, you still must include an empty `Prefix` element in the `Logging` element.  
Type: String  
Required: No
