A low-level client representing Amazon Detective
Detective uses machine learning and purpose-built visualizations to help you analyze and investigate security issues across your Amazon Web Services (AWS) workloads. Detective automatically extracts time-based events such as login attempts, API calls, and network traffic from AWS CloudTrail and Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) flow logs. It also extracts findings detected by Amazon GuardDuty.
The Detective API primarily supports the creation and management of behavior graphs. A behavior graph contains the extracted data from a set of member accounts, and is created and managed by an administrator account.
Every behavior graph is specific to a Region. You can only use the API to manage graphs that belong to the Region that is associated with the currently selected endpoint.
A Detective administrator account can use the Detective API to do the following:
A member account can use the Detective API to do the following:
All API actions are logged as CloudTrail events. See Logging Detective API Calls with CloudTrail .
Note
We replaced the term "master account" with the term "administrator account." An administrator account is used to centrally manage multiple accounts. In the case of Detective, the administrator account manages the accounts in their behavior graph.
import boto3
client = boto3.client('detective')
These are the available methods:
Accepts an invitation for the member account to contribute data to a behavior graph. This operation can only be called by an invited member account.
The request provides the ARN of behavior graph.
The member account status in the graph must be INVITED .
See also: AWS API Documentation
Request Syntax
response = client.accept_invitation(
GraphArn='string'
)
[REQUIRED]
The ARN of the behavior graph that the member account is accepting the invitation for.
The member account status in the behavior graph must be INVITED .
Exceptions
Check if an operation can be paginated.
Creates a new behavior graph for the calling account, and sets that account as the administrator account. This operation is called by the account that is enabling Detective.
Before you try to enable Detective, make sure that your account has been enrolled in Amazon GuardDuty for at least 48 hours. If you do not meet this requirement, you cannot enable Detective. If you do meet the GuardDuty prerequisite, then when you make the request to enable Detective, it checks whether your data volume is within the Detective quota. If it exceeds the quota, then you cannot enable Detective.
The operation also enables Detective for the calling account in the currently selected Region. It returns the ARN of the new behavior graph.
CreateGraph triggers a process to create the corresponding data tables for the new behavior graph.
An account can only be the administrator account for one behavior graph within a Region. If the same account calls CreateGraph with the same administrator account, it always returns the same behavior graph ARN. It does not create a new behavior graph.
See also: AWS API Documentation
Request Syntax
response = client.create_graph(
Tags={
'string': 'string'
}
)
The tags to assign to the new behavior graph. You can add up to 50 tags. For each tag, you provide the tag key and the tag value. Each tag key can contain up to 128 characters. Each tag value can contain up to 256 characters.
{
'GraphArn': 'string'
}
Response Structure
The ARN of the new behavior graph.
Exceptions
Sends a request to invite the specified AWS accounts to be member accounts in the behavior graph. This operation can only be called by the administrator account for a behavior graph.
CreateMembers verifies the accounts and then invites the verified accounts. The administrator can optionally specify to not send invitation emails to the member accounts. This would be used when the administrator manages their member accounts centrally.
The request provides the behavior graph ARN and the list of accounts to invite.
The response separates the requested accounts into two lists:
