# Generate the CloudFormation template using the AWS CLI
<a name="flow-logs-generate-template-cli"></a>

After the first flow logs are delivered to your S3 bucket, you can generate and use a CloudFormation template to integrate with Athena.

Use the following [get-flow-logs-integration-template](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/ec2/get-flow-logs-integration-template.html) command to generate the CloudFormation template.

```
aws ec2 get-flow-logs-integration-template --cli-input-json file://config.json
```

The following is an example of the `config.json` file.

```
{
    "FlowLogId": "fl-12345678901234567",
    "ConfigDeliveryS3DestinationArn": "arn:aws:s3:::my-flow-logs-athena-integration/templates/",
    "IntegrateServices": {
        "AthenaIntegrations": [
            {
                "IntegrationResultS3DestinationArn": "arn:aws:s3:::my-flow-logs-analysis/athena-query-results/",
                "PartitionLoadFrequency": "monthly",
                "PartitionStartDate": "2021-01-01T00:00:00",
                "PartitionEndDate": "2021-12-31T00:00:00"
            }
        ]
    }
}
```

Use the following [create-stack](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/cloudformation/create-stack.html) command to create a stack using the generated CloudFormation template.

```
aws cloudformation create-stack --stack-name my-vpc-flow-logs --template-body file://my-cloudformation-template.json
```
