A low-level client representing AWS 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.
Note
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.
import boto3
client = boto3.client('cloudtrail')
These are the available methods:
Adds one or more tags to a trail, 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 for a trail; 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 that applies to all Amazon Web Services Regions only from the Region in which the trail was created (also known as its home region).

[REQUIRED]
Specifies the name of the Amazon S3 bucket designated for publishing log files. See Amazon S3 Bucket Naming Requirements .
Specifies whether log file integrity validation is enabled. The default is false.
Note
When you disable log file integrity validation, the chain of digest files is broken after one hour. CloudTrail does not create digest files for log files that were delivered during a period in which log file integrity validation was disabled. For example, if you enable log file integrity validation at noon on January 1, disable it at noon on January 2, and re-enable it at noon on January 10, digest files will not be created for the log files delivered from noon on January 2 to noon on January 10. The same applies whenever you stop CloudTrail logging or delete a trail.
Specifies the KMS key ID to use to encrypt the logs delivered by CloudTrail. The value can be an alias name prefixed by "alias/", a fully specified ARN to an alias, a fully specified ARN to a key, or a globally unique identifier.
CloudTrail also supports KMS multi-Region keys. For more information about multi-Region keys, see Using multi-Region keys in the Key Management Service Developer Guide .

]
}
Response Structure
The specified trail ARN that has the event selectors.
The event selectors that are configured for the trail.
Use event selectors to further specify the management and data event settings for your trail. By default, trails created without specific event selectors will be configured to log all read and write management events, and no data events. When an event occurs in your account, CloudTrail evaluates the event selector for 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.
You can configure up to five event selectors for a trail.
You cannot apply both event selectors and advanced event selectors to a trail.
Specify if you want your trail to log read-only events, write-only events, or all. For example, the EC2 GetConsoleOutput is a read-only API operation and RunInstances is a write-only API operation.
By default, the value is All .
Specify if you want your event selector to include management events for your trail.
For more information, see Management Events in the CloudTrail User Guide .
By default, the value is true .
The first copy of management events is free. You are charged for additional copies of management events that you are logging on any subsequent trail in the same region. For more information about CloudTrail pricing, see CloudTrail Pricing .
CloudTrail supports data event logging for Amazon S3 objects, Lambda functions, and Amazon DynamoDB tables with basic event selectors. You can specify up to 250 resources for an individual event selector, but the total number of data resources cannot exceed 250 across all event selectors in a trail. This limit does not apply if you configure resource logging for all data events.
For more information, see Data Events and Limits in CloudTrail in the CloudTrail User Guide .
The Amazon S3 buckets, Lambda functions, or Amazon DynamoDB tables that you specify in your event selectors for your trail to log data events. Data events provide information about the resource operations performed on or within a resource itself. These are also known as data plane operations. You can specify up to 250 data resources for a trail.
Note
The total number of allowed data resources is 250. This number can be distributed between 1 and 5 event selectors, but the total cannot exceed 250 across all selectors.
If you are using advanced event selectors, the maximum total number of values for all conditions, across all advanced event selectors for the trail, is 500.
The following example demonstrates how logging works when you configure logging of all data events for an S3 bucket named bucket-1 . In this example, the CloudTrail user specified an empty prefix, and the option to log both Read and Write data events.
The following example demonstrates how logging works when you configure logging of Lambda data events for a Lambda function named MyLambdaFunction , but not for all Lambda functions.
The resource type in which you want to log data events. You can specify the following basic event selector resource types:
The following resource types are also availble through advanced event selectors. Basic event selector resource types are valid in advanced event selectors, but advanced event selector resource types are not valid in basic event selectors. For more information, see AdvancedFieldSelector$Field .
An array of Amazon Resource Name (ARN) strings or partial ARN strings for the specified objects.
Note
This also enables logging of data event activity performed by any user or role in your Amazon Web Services account, even if that activity is performed on a bucket that belongs to another Amazon Web Services account.
Note
This also enables logging of Invoke activity performed by any user or role in your Amazon Web Services account, even if that activity is performed on a function that belongs to another Amazon Web Services account.
Note
Lambda function ARNs are exact. For example, if you specify a function ARN arn:aws:lambda:us-west-2:111111111111:function:helloworld , data events will only be logged for arn:aws:lambda:us-west-2:111111111111:function:helloworld . They will not be logged for arn:aws:lambda:us-west-2:111111111111:function:helloworld2 .
An optional list of service event sources from which you do not want management events to be logged on your trail. In this release, the list can be empty (disables the filter), or it can filter out Key Management Service or Amazon RDS Data API events by containing kms.amazonaws.com or rdsdata.amazonaws.com . By default, ExcludeManagementEventSources is empty, and KMS and Amazon RDS Data API events are logged to your trail.
The advanced event selectors that are configured for the trail.
Advanced event selectors let you create fine-grained selectors for the following CloudTrail event record fields. They help you control costs by logging only those events that are important to you. For more information about advanced event selectors, see Logging data events for trails in the CloudTrail User Guide .
You cannot apply both event selectors and advanced event selectors to a trail.
An optional, descriptive name for an advanced event selector, such as "Log data events for only two S3 buckets".
Contains all selector statements in an advanced event selector.
A single selector statement in an advanced event selector.
A field in an event record on which to filter events to be logged. Supported fields include readOnly , eventCategory , eventSource (for management events), eventName , resources.type , and resources.ARN .
You can have only one resources.type field per selector. To log data events on more than one resource type, add another selector.
When resources.type equals AWS::S3::AccessPoint , and the operator is set to Equals or NotEquals , the ARN must be in one of the following formats. To log events on all objects in an S3 access point, we recommend that you use only the access point ARN, don’t include the object path, and use the StartsWith or NotStartsWith operators.
- arn:<partition>:s3:<region>:<account_ID>:accesspoint/<access_point_name>
- arn:<partition>:s3:<region>:<account_ID>:accesspoint/<access_point_name>/object/<object_path>
When resources.type equals AWS::Lambda::Function , and the operator is set to Equals or NotEquals , the ARN must be in the following format:
- arn:<partition>:lambda:<region>:<account_ID>:function:<function_name>
When resources.type equals AWS::DynamoDB::Table , and the operator is set to Equals or NotEquals , the ARN must be in the following format:
- arn:<partition>:dynamodb:<region>:<account_ID>:table/<table_name>
When resources.type equals AWS::S3Outposts::Object , and the operator is set to Equals or NotEquals , the ARN must be in the following format:
- arn:<partition>:s3-outposts:<region>:<account_ID>:<object_path>
When resources.type equals AWS::ManagedBlockchain::Node , and the operator is set to Equals or NotEquals , the ARN must be in the following format:
- arn:<partition>:managedblockchain:<region>:<account_ID>:nodes/<node_ID>
When resources.type equals AWS::S3ObjectLambda::AccessPoint , and the operator is set to Equals or NotEquals , the ARN must be in the following format:
- arn:<partition>:s3-object-lambda:<region>:<account_ID>:accesspoint/<access_point_name>
When resources.type equals AWS::EC2::Snapshot , and the operator is set to Equals or NotEquals , the ARN must be in the following format:
- arn:<partition>:ec2:<region>::snapshot/<snapshot_ID>
When resources.type equals AWS::DynamoDB::Stream , and the operator is set to Equals or NotEquals , the ARN must be in the following format:
- arn:<partition>:dynamodb:<region>:<account_ID>:table/<table_name>/stream/<date_time>
An operator that includes events that match the exact value of the event record field specified as the value of Field . This is the only valid operator that you can use with the readOnly , eventCategory , and resources.type fields.
An operator that includes events that match the first few characters of the event record field specified as the value of Field .
An operator that includes events that match the last few characters of the event record field specified as the value of Field .
An operator that excludes events that match the exact value of the event record field specified as the value of Field .
An operator that excludes events that match the first few characters of the event record field specified as the value of Field .
An operator that excludes events that match the last few characters of the event record field specified as the value of Field .
Exceptions
Describes the settings for the Insights event selectors that you configured for your trail. GetInsightSelectors shows if CloudTrail Insights event logging is enabled on the trail, and if it is, which insight types are enabled. If you run GetInsightSelectors on a trail that does not have Insights events enabled, the operation throws the exception InsightNotEnabledException

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
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 data and management 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.

Specifies the name of the trail or trail ARN. If you specify a trail name, the string must meet the following requirements:
If you specify a trail ARN, it must be in the following format.
arn:aws:cloudtrail:us-east-2:123456789012:trail/MyTrail
Specifies the settings for your event selectors. You can configure up to five event selectors for a trail. You can use either EventSelectors or AdvancedEventSelectors in a PutEventSelectors request, but not both. If you apply EventSelectors to a trail, any existing AdvancedEventSelectors are overwritten.
Use event selectors to further specify the management and data event settings for your trail. By default, trails created without specific event selectors will be configured to log all read and write management events, and no data events. When an event occurs in your account, CloudTrail evaluates the event selector for 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.
You can configure up to five event selectors for a trail.
You cannot apply both event selectors and advanced event selectors to a trail.
Specify if you want your trail to log read-only events, write-only events, or all. For example, the EC2 GetConsoleOutput is a read-only API operation and RunInstances is a write-only API operation.
By default, the value is All .
Specify if you want your event selector to include management events for your trail.
For more information, see Management Events in the CloudTrail User Guide .
By default, the value is true .
The first copy of management events is free. You are charged for additional copies of management events that you are logging on any subsequent trail in the same region. For more information about CloudTrail pricing, see CloudTrail Pricing .
CloudTrail supports data event logging for Amazon S3 objects, Lambda functions, and Amazon DynamoDB tables with basic event selectors. You can specify up to 250 resources for an individual event selector, but the total number of data resources cannot exceed 250 across all event selectors in a trail. This limit does not apply if you configure resource logging for all data events.
For more information, see Data Events and Limits in CloudTrail in the CloudTrail User Guide .
The Amazon S3 buckets, Lambda functions, or Amazon DynamoDB tables that you specify in your event selectors for your trail to log data events. Data events provide information about the resource operations performed on or within a resource itself. These are also known as data plane operations. You can specify up to 250 data resources for a trail.
Note
The total number of allowed data resources is 250. This number can be distributed between 1 and 5 event selectors, but the total cannot exceed 250 across all selectors.
If you are using advanced event selectors, the maximum total number of values for all conditions, across all advanced event selectors for the trail, is 500.
The following example demonstrates how logging works when you configure logging of all data events for an S3 bucket named bucket-1 . In this example, the CloudTrail user specified an empty prefix, and the option to log both Read and Write data events.
The following example demonstrates how logging works when you configure logging of Lambda data events for a Lambda function named MyLambdaFunction , but not for all Lambda functions.
The resource type in which you want to log data events. You can specify the following basic event selector resource types:
The following resource types are also availble through advanced event selectors. Basic event selector resource types are valid in advanced event selectors, but advanced event selector resource types are not valid in basic event selectors. For more information, see AdvancedFieldSelector$Field .
An array of Amazon Resource Name (ARN) strings or partial ARN strings for the specified objects.
Note
This also enables logging of data event activity performed by any user or role in your Amazon Web Services account, even if that activity is performed on a bucket that belongs to another Amazon Web Services account.
Note
This also enables logging of Invoke activity performed by any user or role in your Amazon Web Services account, even if that activity is performed on a function that belongs to another Amazon Web Services account.
Note
Lambda function ARNs are exact. For example, if you specify a function ARN arn:aws:lambda:us-west-2:111111111111:function:helloworld , data events will only be logged for arn:aws:lambda:us-west-2:111111111111:function:helloworld . They will not be logged for arn:aws:lambda:us-west-2:111111111111:function:helloworld2 .
An optional list of service event sources from which you do not want management events to be logged on your trail. In this release, the list can be empty (disables the filter), or it can filter out Key Management Service or Amazon RDS Data API events by containing kms.amazonaws.com or rdsdata.amazonaws.com . By default, ExcludeManagementEventSources is empty, and KMS and Amazon RDS Data API events are logged to your trail.
Specifies the settings for advanced event selectors. 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 .
Advanced event selectors let you create fine-grained selectors for the following CloudTrail event record fields. They help you control costs by logging only those events that are important to you. For more information about advanced event selectors, see Logging data events for trails in the CloudTrail User Guide .
You cannot apply both event selectors and advanced event selectors to a trail.
An optional, descriptive name for an advanced event selector, such as "Log data events for only two S3 buckets".
Contains all selector statements in an advanced event selector.

A field in an event record on which to filter events to be logged. Supported fields include readOnly , eventCategory , eventSource (for management events), eventName , resources.type , and resources.ARN .
You can have only one resources.type field per selector. To log data events on more than one resource type, add another selector.
When resources.type equals AWS::S3::AccessPoint , and the operator is set to Equals or NotEquals , the ARN must be in one of the following formats. To log events on all objects in an S3 access point, we recommend that you use only the access point ARN, don’t include the object path, and use the StartsWith or NotStartsWith operators.
- arn:<partition>:s3:<region>:<account_ID>:accesspoint/<access_point_name>
- arn:<partition>:s3:<region>:<account_ID>:accesspoint/<access_point_name>/object/<object_path>
When resources.type equals AWS::Lambda::Function , and the operator is set to Equals or NotEquals , the ARN must be in the following format:
- arn:<partition>:lambda:<region>:<account_ID>:function:<function_name>
When resources.type equals AWS::DynamoDB::Table , and the operator is set to Equals or NotEquals , the ARN must be in the following format:
- arn:<partition>:dynamodb:<region>:<account_ID>:table/<table_name>
When resources.type equals AWS::S3Outposts::Object , and the operator is set to Equals or NotEquals , the ARN must be in the following format:
- arn:<partition>:s3-outposts:<region>:<account_ID>:<object_path>
When resources.type equals AWS::ManagedBlockchain::Node , and the operator is set to Equals or NotEquals , the ARN must be in the following format:
- arn:<partition>:managedblockchain:<region>:<account_ID>:nodes/<node_ID>
When resources.type equals AWS::S3ObjectLambda::AccessPoint , and the operator is set to Equals or NotEquals , the ARN must be in the following format:
- arn:<partition>:s3-object-lambda:<region>:<account_ID>:accesspoint/<access_point_name>
When resources.type equals AWS::EC2::Snapshot , and the operator is set to Equals or NotEquals , the ARN must be in the following format:
- arn:<partition>:ec2:<region>::snapshot/<snapshot_ID>
When resources.type equals AWS::DynamoDB::Stream , and the operator is set to Equals or NotEquals , the ARN must be in the following format:
- arn:<partition>:dynamodb:<region>:<account_ID>:table/<table_name>/stream/<date_time>

Specifies the name or the CloudTrail ARN of the trail for which CloudTrail will stop logging Amazon Web Services API calls. The following is the format of a trail ARN.
arn:aws:cloudtrail:us-east-2:123456789012:trail/MyTrail
{}
Response Structure
Returns the objects or data listed below if successful. Otherwise, returns an error.
Exceptions
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.

Specifies the name of the trail or trail ARN. If Name is a trail name, the string must meet the following requirements:
If Name is a trail ARN, it must be in the following format.
arn:aws:cloudtrail:us-east-2:123456789012:trail/MyTrail
Specifies whether log file validation is enabled. The default is false.
Note
When you disable log file integrity validation, the chain of digest files is broken after one hour. CloudTrail does not create digest files for log files that were delivered during a period in which log file integrity validation was disabled. For example, if you enable log file integrity validation at noon on January 1, disable it at noon on January 2, and re-enable it at noon on January 10, digest files will not be created for the log files delivered from noon on January 2 to noon on January 10. The same applies whenever you stop CloudTrail logging or delete a trail.
Specifies the KMS key ID to use to encrypt the logs delivered by CloudTrail. The value can be an alias name prefixed by "alias/", a fully specified ARN to an alias, a fully specified ARN to a key, or a globally unique identifier.
CloudTrail also supports KMS multi-Region keys. For more information about multi-Region keys, see Using multi-Region keys in the Key Management Service Developer Guide .
