AWS Elemental MediaTailor introduces two new features to help streaming services reduce server-side ad insertion (SSAI) monitoring costs:
</p>
<ul>
<li>MediaTailor Vended Logs: Allows flexible log storage options including S3, Firehose, and CloudWatch</li>
<li>MediaTailor Log Filtering: Enables selective logging to control costs</li>
<li>Offers 50 KB of free logging per ad insertion</li>
<li>Provides option to send logs to current or different AWS accounts</li>
<li>Allows choosing specific log types to monitor: ad decision server logs, manifest service logs, and transcode logs</li>
