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.

Functions
Adds one or more tags to a trail, event data store, or channel, up to a limit of 50.
Overwrites an existing tag's value when a new value is specified for an existing tag key. Tag key names must be unique; you cannot have two keys with the same name but different values. If you specify a key without a value, the tag will be created with the specified key and a value of null. You can tag a trail or event data store that applies to all Amazon Web Services Regions only from the Region in which the trail or event data store was created (also known as its home Region).
Cancels a query if the query is not in a terminated state, such as
CANCELLED
, FAILED
, TIMED_OUT
, or
FINISHED
.
You must specify an ARN value for EventDataStore
.
The ID of the query that you want to cancel is also required. When you run
CancelQuery
, the query status might show as CANCELLED
even if
the operation is not yet finished.
Creates a channel for CloudTrail to ingest events from a partner or external source.
After you create a channel, a CloudTrail Lake event data store can log events from the partner or source that you specify.
Creates a new event data store.
Creates a trail that specifies the settings for delivery of log data to an Amazon S3 bucket.
Deletes a channel.
Disables the event data store specified by EventDataStore
, which accepts an
event data store ARN.
After you run DeleteEventDataStore
, the event data store
enters a PENDING_DELETION
state, and is automatically deleted after a wait
period of seven days. TerminationProtectionEnabled
must be set to
False
on the event data store and the FederationStatus
must be DISABLED
.
You cannot delete an event data store if TerminationProtectionEnabled
is True
or the FederationStatus
is ENABLED
.
After you run DeleteEventDataStore
on an event data store, you cannot run
ListQueries
, DescribeQuery
, or GetQueryResults
on
queries that are using an event data store in a PENDING_DELETION
state. An
event data store in the PENDING_DELETION
state does not incur costs.
Deletes the resource-based policy attached to the CloudTrail channel.
Deletes a trail.
This operation must be called from the Region in which the trail was
created. DeleteTrail
cannot be called on the shadow trails (replicated trails
in other Regions) of a trail that is enabled in all Regions.
deregister_organization_delegated_admin(client, input, options \\ [])
View SourceRemoves CloudTrail delegated administrator permissions from a member account in an organization.
Returns metadata about a query, including query run time in milliseconds, number of events scanned and matched, and query status.
If the query results were delivered to an S3 bucket, the response also provides the S3 URI and the delivery status.
You must specify either a QueryID
or a QueryAlias
. Specifying
the QueryAlias
parameter returns information about the last query run for the
alias.
Retrieves settings for one or more trails associated with the current Region for your account.
Disables Lake query federation on the specified event data store.
When you disable federation, CloudTrail disables the integration with Glue, Lake Formation, and Amazon Athena. After disabling Lake query federation, you can no longer query your event data in Amazon Athena.
No CloudTrail Lake data is deleted when you disable federation and you can continue to run queries in CloudTrail Lake.
Enables Lake query federation on the specified event data store.
Federating an event data store lets you view the metadata associated with the event data store in the Glue Data Catalog and run SQL queries against your event data using Amazon Athena. The table metadata stored in the Glue Data Catalog lets the Athena query engine know how to find, read, and process the data that you want to query.
When you enable Lake query federation, CloudTrail
creates a managed database named aws:cloudtrail
(if the database doesn't
already exist) and a managed federated table in
the Glue Data Catalog. The event data store ID is used for the table name.
CloudTrail registers the role ARN and event data store in
Lake Formation,
the service responsible for allowing fine-grained access control
of the federated resources in the Glue Data Catalog.
For more information about Lake query federation, see Federate an event data store.
Returns information about a specific channel.
Returns information about an event data store specified as either an ARN or the ID portion of the ARN.
Describes the settings for the event selectors that you configured for your trail.
The information returned for your event selectors includes the following:
* If your event selector includes read-only events, write-only events, or all events. This applies to both management events and data events.
* If your event selector includes management events.
* If your event selector includes data events, the resources on which you are logging data events.
For more information about logging management and data events, see the following topics in the CloudTrail User Guide:
*
*
Returns information about a specific import.
Describes the settings for the Insights event selectors that you configured for your trail or event data store.
GetInsightSelectors
shows if CloudTrail Insights event logging
is enabled on the trail or event data store, and if it is, which Insights types
are enabled. If you run
GetInsightSelectors
on a trail or event data store that does not have Insights
events enabled,
the operation throws the exception InsightNotEnabledException
Specify either the EventDataStore
parameter to get Insights event selectors
for an event data store,
or the TrailName
parameter to the get Insights event selectors for a trail.
You cannot specify these parameters together.
For more information, see Logging CloudTrail Insights events in the CloudTrail User Guide.
Gets event data results of a query.
You must specify the QueryID
value
returned by the StartQuery
operation.
Retrieves the JSON text of the resource-based policy document attached to the CloudTrail channel.
Returns settings information for a specified trail.
Returns a JSON-formatted list of information about the specified trail.
Fields include information on delivery errors, Amazon SNS and Amazon S3 errors, and start and stop logging times for each trail. This operation returns trail status from a single Region. To return trail status from all Regions, you must call the operation on each Region.
Lists the channels in the current account, and their source names.
Returns information about all event data stores in the account, in the current Region.
Returns a list of failures for the specified import.
Returns information on all imports, or a select set of imports by

* Data points with a period of 3600 seconds (1 hour) are available for 90 days.
Access to the ListInsightsMetricData
API operation is linked to the
cloudtrail:LookupEvents
action. To use this operation,
you must have permissions to perform the cloudtrail:LookupEvents
action.
Returns all public keys whose private keys were used to sign the digest files within the specified time range.
The public key is needed to validate digest files that were signed with its corresponding private key.
CloudTrail uses different private and public key pairs per Region. Each digest file is signed with a private key unique to its Region. When you validate a digest file from a specific Region, you must look in the same Region for its corresponding public key.
Returns a list of queries and query statuses for the past seven days.
You must specify
an ARN value for EventDataStore
. Optionally, to shorten the list of results,
you can specify a time range, formatted as timestamps, by adding StartTime
and
EndTime
parameters, and a QueryStatus
value. Valid values for
QueryStatus
include QUEUED
, RUNNING
,
FINISHED
, FAILED
, TIMED_OUT
, or
CANCELLED
.
Lists the tags for the specified trails, event data stores, or channels in the current Region.
Lists trails that are in the current account.
Looks up management events or CloudTrail Insights events that are captured by CloudTrail.
You can look up events that occurred in a Region within the last 90 days.
LookupEvents
returns recent Insights events for trails that enable Insights.
To view Insights events for an event data store, you can run queries on your
Insights event data store, and you can also view the Lake dashboard for
Insights.
Lookup supports the following attributes for management events:
* Amazon Web Services access key
* Event ID
* Event name
* Event source
* Read only
* Resource name
* Resource type
* User name
Lookup supports the following attributes for Insights events:
* Event ID
* Event name
* Event source
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.
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. If you want your trail to log Insights events, be sure the event selector enables logging of the Insights event types you want configured for your trail. For more information about logging Insights events, see Logging Insights events for trails in the CloudTrail User Guide. 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, Logging data events, 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
in the CloudTrail User Guide.
Lets you enable Insights event logging by specifying the Insights selectors that you want to enable on an existing trail or event data store.
You also use PutInsightSelectors
to turn
off Insights event logging, by passing an empty list of Insights types. The
valid Insights
event types are ApiErrorRateInsight
and
ApiCallRateInsight
.
To enable Insights on an event data store, you must specify the ARNs (or ID
suffix of the ARNs) for the source event data store (EventDataStore
) and the
destination event data store (InsightsDestination
). The source event data
store logs management events and enables Insights.
The destination event data store logs Insights events based upon the management
event activity of the source event data store. The source and destination event
data stores must belong to the same Amazon Web Services account.
To log Insights events for a trail, you must specify the name (TrailName
) of
the CloudTrail trail for which you want to change or add Insights
selectors.
To log CloudTrail Insights events on API call volume, the trail or event data
store
must log write
management events. To log CloudTrail
Insights events on API error rate, the trail or event data store must log read
or
write
management events. You can call GetEventSelectors
on a trail
to check whether the trail logs management events. You can call
GetEventDataStore
on an
event data store to check whether the event data store logs management events.
For more information, see Logging CloudTrail Insights events in the CloudTrail User Guide.
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.
register_organization_delegated_admin(client, input, options \\ [])
View SourceRegisters an organization’s member account as the CloudTrail delegated administrator.
Removes the specified tags from a trail, event data store, or channel.
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.
Starts the ingestion of live events on an event data store specified as either an ARN or the ID portion of the ARN.
To start ingestion, the event data store Status
must be STOPPED_INGESTION
and the eventCategory
must be Management
, Data
, or ConfigurationItem
.
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.
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.
Starts a CloudTrail Lake query.
Use the QueryStatement
parameter to provide your SQL query, enclosed in single quotation marks. Use the
optional
DeliveryS3Uri
parameter to deliver the query results to an S3
bucket.
StartQuery
requires you specify either the QueryStatement
parameter, or a
QueryAlias
and any QueryParameters
. In the current release,
the QueryAlias
and QueryParameters
parameters are used only for the queries
that populate the CloudTrail Lake dashboards.
Stops the ingestion of live events on an event data store specified as either an ARN or the ID portion of the ARN.
To stop ingestion, the event data store Status
must be ENABLED
and the eventCategory
must be Management
, Data
, or ConfigurationItem
.
Stops a specified import.
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.
Updates a channel specified by a required channel ARN or UUID.
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 7 and
3653 if the BillingMode
is set to EXTENDABLE_RETENTION_PRICING
, or between 7
and 2557 if BillingMode
is set to FIXED_RETENTION_PRICING
. By default,
TerminationProtection
is enabled.
For event data stores for CloudTrail events, AdvancedEventSelectors
includes or excludes management or data events in your event data store. For
more
information about AdvancedEventSelectors
, see
AdvancedEventSelectors.
For event data stores for CloudTrail Insights events, Config configuration
items, Audit Manager evidence, or non-Amazon Web Services events,
AdvancedEventSelectors
includes events of that type in your event data store.
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.
