            'AttributeValue': 'string'
        },
    ],
    StartTime=datetime(2015, 1, 1),
    EndTime=datetime(2015, 1, 1),
    EventCategory='insight',
    PaginationConfig={
        'MaxItems': 123,

Some examples of resource types are: Instance for EC2, Trail for CloudTrail, DBInstance for Amazon RDS, and AccessKey for IAM. To learn more about how to look up and filter events by the resource types supported for a service, see Filtering CloudTrail Events.

          • ResourceName (string) –

            The name of the resource referenced by the event returned. These are user-created names whose values will depend on the environment. For example, the resource name might be “auto-scaling-test-group” for an Auto Scaling Group or “i-1234567” for an EC2 Instance.
