CloudTrail

This is the CloudTrail API Reference.

It provides descriptions of actions, data types, common parameters, and common errors for CloudTrail.

CloudTrail is a web service that records Amazon Web Services API calls for your Amazon Web Services account and delivers log files to an Amazon S3 bucket. The recorded information includes the identity of the user, the start time of the Amazon Web Services API call, the source IP address, the request parameters, and the response elements returned by the service.

As an alternative to the API, you can use one of the Amazon Web Services SDKs, which consist of libraries and sample code for various programming languages and platforms (Java, Ruby, .NET, iOS, Android, etc.). The SDKs provide programmatic access to CloudTrail. For example, the SDKs handle cryptographically signing requests, managing errors, and retrying requests automatically. For more information about the Amazon Web Services SDKs, including how to download and install them, see Tools to Build on Amazon Web Services.

See the CloudTrail User Guide for information about the data that is included with each Amazon Web Services API call listed in the log files.

All attributes are optional. The default number of results returned is 50, with a maximum of 50 possible. The response includes a token that you can use to get the next page of results.

The rate of lookup requests is limited to two per second, per account, per region. If this limit is exceeded, a throttling error occurs.

Link to this function

put_event_selectors(client, input, options \\ [])

View Source

Configures an event selector or advanced event selectors for your trail.

Use event selectors or advanced event selectors to specify management and data event settings for your trail. By default, trails created without specific event selectors are configured to log all read and write management events, and no data events.

When an event occurs in your account, CloudTrail evaluates the event selectors or advanced event selectors in all trails. For each trail, if the event matches any event selector, the trail processes and logs the event. If the event doesn't match any event selector, the trail doesn't log the event.

Example

  1. You create an event selector for a trail and specify that you want write-only events.

  2. The EC2 GetConsoleOutput and RunInstances API operations occur in your account.

  3. CloudTrail evaluates whether the events match your event selectors.

  4. The RunInstances is a write-only event and it matches your event selector. The trail logs the event.

  5. The GetConsoleOutput is a read-only event that doesn't match your event selector. The trail doesn't log the event.

The PutEventSelectors operation must be called from the region in which the trail was created; otherwise, an InvalidHomeRegionException exception is thrown.

You can configure up to five event selectors for each trail. For more information, see Logging management events for trails , Logging data events for trails , and Quotas in CloudTrail in the CloudTrail User Guide.

You can add advanced event selectors, and conditions for your advanced event selectors, up to a maximum of 500 values for all conditions and selectors on a trail. You can use either AdvancedEventSelectors or EventSelectors, but not both. If you apply AdvancedEventSelectors to a trail, any existing EventSelectors are overwritten. For more information about advanced event selectors, see Logging data events for trails in the CloudTrail User Guide.

Link to this function

put_insight_selectors(client, input, options \\ [])

View Source

Lets you enable Insights event logging by specifying the Insights selectors that you want to enable on an existing trail.

You also use PutInsightSelectors to turn off Insights event logging, by passing an empty list of insight types. The valid Insights event types in this release are ApiErrorRateInsight and ApiCallRateInsight.

Link to this function

put_resource_policy(client, input, options \\ [])

View Source

Attaches a resource-based permission policy to a CloudTrail channel that is used for an integration with an event source outside of Amazon Web Services.

For more information about resource-based policies, see CloudTrail resource-based policy examples in the CloudTrail User Guide.

restore_event_data_store(client, input, options \\ [])

View Source

Restores a deleted event data store specified by EventDataStore, which accepts an event data store ARN.

You can only restore a deleted event data store within the seven-day wait period after deletion. Restoring an event data store can take several minutes, depending on the size of the event data store.

Link to this function

start_import(client, input, options \\ [])

View Source

Starts an import of logged trail events from a source S3 bucket to a destination event data store.

By default, CloudTrail only imports events contained in the S3 bucket's CloudTrail prefix and the prefixes inside the CloudTrail prefix, and does not check prefixes for other Amazon Web Services services. If you want to import CloudTrail events contained in another prefix, you must include the prefix in the S3LocationUri. For more considerations about importing trail events, see Considerations. When you start a new import, the Destinations and ImportSource parameters are required. Before starting a new import, disable any access control lists (ACLs) attached to the source S3 bucket. For more information about disabling ACLs, see Controlling ownership of objects and disabling ACLs for your bucket.

When you retry an import, the ImportID parameter is required.

If the destination event data store is for an organization, you must use the management account to import trail events. You cannot use the delegated administrator account for the organization.

Link to this function

start_logging(client, input, options \\ [])

View Source

Starts the recording of Amazon Web Services API calls and log file delivery for a trail.

For a trail that is enabled in all regions, this operation must be called from the region in which the trail was created. This operation cannot be called on the shadow trails (replicated trails in other regions) of a trail that is enabled in all regions.

Link to this function

start_query(client, input, options \\ [])

View Source

Link to this function

stop_logging(client, input, options \\ [])

View Source

Suspends the recording of Amazon Web Services API calls and log file delivery for the specified trail.

Under most circumstances, there is no need to use this action. You can update a trail without stopping it first. This action is the only way to stop recording. For a trail enabled in all regions, this operation must be called from the region in which the trail was created, or an InvalidHomeRegionException will occur. This operation cannot be called on the shadow trails (replicated trails in other regions) of a trail enabled in all regions.

Link to this function

update_channel(client, input, options \\ [])

View Source

Updates a channel specified by a required channel ARN or UUID.

Link to this function

update_event_data_store(client, input, options \\ [])

View Source

Updates an event data store.

The required EventDataStore value is an ARN or the ID portion of the ARN. Other parameters are optional, but at least one optional parameter must be specified, or CloudTrail throws an error. RetentionPeriod is in days, and valid values are integers between 90 and 2557. By default, TerminationProtection is enabled.

For event data stores for CloudTrail events, AdvancedEventSelectors includes or excludes management and data events in your event data store. For more information about AdvancedEventSelectors, see PutEventSelectorsRequest$AdvancedEventSelectors.

For event data stores for Config configuration items, Audit Manager evidence, or non-Amazon Web Services events, AdvancedEventSelectors includes events of that type in your event data store.

Link to this function

update_trail(client, input, options \\ [])

View Source

Updates trail settings that control what events you are logging, and how to handle log files.

Changes to a trail do not require stopping the CloudTrail service. Use this action to designate an existing bucket for log delivery. If the existing bucket has previously been a target for CloudTrail log files, an IAM policy exists for the bucket. UpdateTrail must be called from the region in which the trail was created; otherwise, an InvalidHomeRegionException is thrown.
