CloudTrail

Table of Contents

Client

class CloudTrail.Client

A low-level client representing AWS CloudTrail:

import boto3

client = boto3.client('cloudtrail')

These are the available methods:

add_tags(**kwargs)

Adds one or more tags to a trail, up to a limit of 50. Tags must be unique per trail. Overwrites an existing tag's value when a new value is specified for an existing tag key. 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 regions only from the region in which the trail was created (that is, from its home region).

Request Syntax

response = client.add_tags(
    ResourceId='string',
    TagsList=[
        {
            'Key': 'string',
            'Value': 'string'
        },
    ]
)
Parameters
  • ResourceId (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    Specifies the ARN of the trail to which one or more tags will be added. The format of a trail ARN is:

    arn:aws:cloudtrail:us-east-2:123456789012:trail/MyTrail
  • TagsList (list) --

    Contains a list of CloudTrail tags, up to a limit of 50

    • (dict) --

      A custom key-value pair associated with a resource such as a CloudTrail trail.

      • Key (string) -- [REQUIRED]

        The key in a key-value pair. The key must be must be no longer than 128 Unicode characters. The key must be unique for the resource to which it applies.

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    Returns the objects or data listed below if successful. Otherwise, returns an error.

can_paginate(operation_name)

Check if an operation can be paginated.

Parameters
operation_name (string) -- The operation name. This is the same name as the method name on the client. For example, if the method name is create_foo, and you'd normally invoke the operation as client.create_foo(**kwargs), if the create_foo operation can be paginated, you can use the call client.get_paginator("create_foo").
Returns
True if the operation can be paginated, False otherwise.
create_trail(**kwargs)

Creates a trail that specifies the settings for delivery of log data to an Amazon S3 bucket. A maximum of five trails can exist in a region, irrespective of the region in which they were created.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = client.create_trail(
    Name='string',
    S3BucketName='string',
    S3KeyPrefix='string',
    SnsTopicName='string',
    IncludeGlobalServiceEvents=True|False,
    IsMultiRegionTrail=True|False,
    EnableLogFileValidation=True|False,
    CloudWatchLogsLogGroupArn='string',
    CloudWatchLogsRoleArn='string',
    KmsKeyId='string'
)
Parameters
  • Name (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    Specifies the name of the trail. The name must meet the following requirements:

    • Contain only ASCII letters (a-z, A-Z), numbers (0-9), periods (.), underscores (_), or dashes (-)
    • Start with a letter or number, and end with a letter or number
    • Be between 3 and 128 characters
    • Have no adjacent periods, underscores or dashes. Names like my-_namespace and my--namespace are invalid.
    • Not be in IP address format (for example, 192.168.5.4)
  • S3BucketName (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    Specifies the name of the Amazon S3 bucket designated for publishing log files. See Amazon S3 Bucket Naming Requirements .

  • S3KeyPrefix (string) -- Specifies the Amazon S3 key prefix that comes after the name of the bucket you have designated for log file delivery. For more information, see Finding Your CloudTrail Log Files . The maximum length is 200 characters.
  • SnsTopicName (string) -- Specifies the name of the Amazon SNS topic defined for notification of log file delivery. The maximum length is 256 characters.
  • IncludeGlobalServiceEvents (boolean) -- Specifies whether the trail is publishing events from global services such as IAM to the log files.
  • IsMultiRegionTrail (boolean) -- Specifies whether the trail is created in the current region or in all regions. The default is false.
  • EnableLogFileValidation (boolean) --

    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 will 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.

  • CloudWatchLogsLogGroupArn (string) -- Specifies a log group name using an Amazon Resource Name (ARN), a unique identifier that represents the log group to which CloudTrail logs will be delivered. Not required unless you specify CloudWatchLogsRoleArn.
  • CloudWatchLogsRoleArn (string) -- Specifies the role for the CloudWatch Logs endpoint to assume to write to a user's log group.
  • KmsKeyId (string) --

    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.

    Examples:

    • alias/MyAliasName
    • arn:aws:kms:us-east-2:123456789012:alias/MyAliasName
    • arn:aws:kms:us-east-2:123456789012:key/12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012

Request Syntax

response = client.get_event_selectors(
    TrailName='string'
)
Parameters
TrailName (string) --

[REQUIRED]

Specifies the name of the trail or trail ARN. If you specify a trail name, the string must meet the following requirements:

            ]
        },
    ]
}

Response Structure

  • (dict) --
    • TrailARN (string) --

      The specified trail ARN that has the event selectors.

    • EventSelectors (list) --

      The event selectors that are configured for the trail.

      • (dict) --

        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.

        • ReadWriteType (string) --

          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 .

        • IncludeManagementEvents (boolean) --

          Specify if you want your event selector to include management events for your trail.

          For more information, see Management Events in the AWS CloudTrail User Guide .

          By default, the value is true .

        • DataResources (list) --

          CloudTrail supports data event logging for Amazon S3 objects and AWS Lambda functions. 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 AWS CloudTrail in the AWS CloudTrail User Guide .

          • (dict) --

            The Amazon S3 buckets or AWS Lambda functions that you specify in your event selectors for your trail to log data events. Data events provide insight into 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.

            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 spcified an empty prefix, and the option to log both Read and Write data events.

            • A user uploads an image file to bucket-1 .
            • The PutObject API operation is an Amazon S3 object-level API. It is recorded as a data event in CloudTrail. Because the CloudTrail user specified an S3 bucket with an empty prefix, events that occur on any object in that bucket are logged. The trail processes and logs the event.
            • A user uploads an object to an Amazon S3 bucket named arn:aws:s3:::bucket-2 .
            • The PutObject API operation occurred for an object in an S3 bucket that the CloudTrail user didn't specify for the trail. The trail doesn’t log the event.

            The following example demonstrates how logging works when you configure logging of AWS Lambda data events for a Lambda function named MyLambdaFunction , but not for all AWS Lambda functions.

            • A user runs a script that includes a call to the MyLambdaFunction function and the MyOtherLambdaFunction function.
            • The Invoke API operation on MyLambdaFunction is an AWS Lambda API. It is recorded as a data event in CloudTrail. Because the CloudTrail user specified logging data events for MyLambdaFunction , any invocations of that function are logged. The trail processes and logs the event.
            • The Invoke API operation on MyOtherLambdaFunction is an AWS Lambda API. Because the CloudTrail user did not specify logging data events for all Lambda functions, the Invoke operation for MyOtherLambdaFunction does not match the function specified for the trail. The trail doesn’t log the event.
            • Type (string) --

              The resource type in which you want to log data events. You can specify AWS::S3::Object or AWS::Lambda::Function resources.

            • Values (list) --

              An array of Amazon Resource Name (ARN) strings or partial ARN strings for the specified objects.

              • To log data events for all objects in all S3 buckets in your AWS account, specify the prefix as arn:aws:s3::: .

              Note

              This will also enable logging of data event activity performed by any user or role in your AWS account, even if that activity is performed on a bucket that belongs to another AWS account.

              • To log data events for all objects in all S3 buckets that include my-bucket in their names, specify the prefix as aws:s3:::my-bucket . The trail logs data events for all objects in all buckets whose name contains a match for my-bucket .
              • To log data events for all objects in an S3 bucket, specify the bucket and an empty object prefix such as arn:aws:s3:::bucket-1/ . The trail logs data events for all objects in this S3 bucket.
              • To log data events for specific objects, specify the S3 bucket and object prefix such as arn:aws:s3:::bucket-1/example-images . The trail logs data events for objects in this S3 bucket that match the prefix.
              • To log data events for all functions in your AWS account, specify the prefix as arn:aws:lambda .

              Note

              This will also enable logging of Invoke activity performed by any user or role in your AWS account, even if that activity is performed on a function that belongs to another AWS account.

              • To log data eents for a specific Lambda function, specify the function ARN.

              Note

              Lambda function ARNs are exact. Unlike S3, you cannot use matching. 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 .

              • (string) --
get_paginator(operation_name)

Create a paginator for an operation.

Parameters
operation_name (string) -- The operation name. This is the same name as the method name on the client. For example, if the method name is create_foo, and you'd normally invoke the operation as client.create_foo(**kwargs), if the create_foo operation can be paginated, you can use the call client.get_paginator("create_foo").
Raises OperationNotPageableError
Raised if the operation is not pageable. You can use the client.can_paginate method to check if an operation is pageable.
Return type
L{botocore.paginate.Paginator}
Returns
A paginator object.
get_trail_status(**kwargs)

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.

get_waiter(waiter_name)

Returns an object that can wait for some condition.

Parameters
waiter_name (str) -- The name of the waiter to get. See the waiters section of the service docs for a list of available waiters.
Returns
The specified waiter object.
Return type
botocore.waiter.Waiter
list_public_keys(**kwargs)

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.

Note

CloudTrail uses different private/public key pairs per region. Each digest file is signed with a private key unique to its region. Therefore, when you validate a digest file from a particular region, you must look in the same region for its corresponding public key.

For example, if the original call specified an AttributeKey of 'Username' with a value of 'root', the call with NextToken should include those same parameters.

put_event_selectors(**kwargs)

Configures an event selector for your 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 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

  • You create an event selector for a trail and specify that you want write-only events.
  • The EC2 GetConsoleOutput and RunInstances API operations occur in your account.
  • CloudTrail evaluates whether the events match your event selectors.
  • The RunInstances is a write-only event and it matches your event selector. The trail logs the event.
  • The GetConsoleOutput is a read-only event but it 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 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 Limits in AWS CloudTrail in the AWS CloudTrail User Guide .

Request Syntax

response = client.put_event_selectors(
    TrailName='string',

                },
            ]
        },
    ]
)
Parameters
  • TrailName (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    Specifies the name of the trail or trail ARN. If you specify a trail name, the string must meet the following requirements:

    • Contain only ASCII letters (a-z, A-Z), numbers (0-9), periods (.), underscores (_), or dashes (-)
    • Start with a letter or number, and end with a letter or number
    • Be between 3 and 128 characters
    • Have no adjacent periods, underscores or dashes. Names like my-_namespace and my--namespace are invalid.
    • Not be in IP address format (for example, 192.168.5.4)

    If you specify a trail ARN, it must be in the format:

    arn:aws:cloudtrail:us-east-2:123456789012:trail/MyTrail
  • EventSelectors (list) --

    [REQUIRED]

    Specifies the settings for your event selectors. You can configure up to five event selectors for a trail.

    • (dict) --

      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.

      • ReadWriteType (string) --

        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 .

      • IncludeManagementEvents (boolean) --

        Specify if you want your event selector to include management events for your trail.

        For more information, see Management Events in the AWS CloudTrail User Guide .

        By default, the value is true .

      • DataResources (list) --

        CloudTrail supports data event logging for Amazon S3 objects and AWS Lambda functions. 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 AWS CloudTrail in the AWS CloudTrail User Guide .

        • (dict) --

          The Amazon S3 buckets or AWS Lambda functions that you specify in your event selectors for your trail to log data events. Data events provide insight into 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.

          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 spcified an empty prefix, and the option to log both Read and Write data events.

          • A user uploads an image file to bucket-1 .
          • The PutObject API operation is an Amazon S3 object-level API. It is recorded as a data event in CloudTrail. Because the CloudTrail user specified an S3 bucket with an empty prefix, events that occur on any object in that bucket are logged. The trail processes and logs the event.
          • A user uploads an object to an Amazon S3 bucket named arn:aws:s3:::bucket-2 .
          • The PutObject API operation occurred for an object in an S3 bucket that the CloudTrail user didn't specify for the trail. The trail doesn’t log the event.

          The following example demonstrates how logging works when you configure logging of AWS Lambda data events for a Lambda function named MyLambdaFunction , but not for all AWS Lambda functions.

          • A user runs a script that includes a call to the MyLambdaFunction function and the MyOtherLambdaFunction function.
          • The Invoke API operation on MyLambdaFunction is an AWS Lambda API. It is recorded as a data event in CloudTrail. Because the CloudTrail user specified logging data events for MyLambdaFunction , any invocations of that function are logged. The trail processes and logs the event.
          • The Invoke API operation on MyOtherLambdaFunction is an AWS Lambda API. Because the CloudTrail user did not specify logging data events for all Lambda functions, the Invoke operation for MyOtherLambdaFunction does not match the function specified for the trail. The trail doesn’t log the event.
          • Type (string) --

            The resource type in which you want to log data events. You can specify AWS::S3::Object or AWS::Lambda::Function resources.

          • Values (list) --

            An array of Amazon Resource Name (ARN) strings or partial ARN strings for the specified objects.

            • To log data events for all objects in all S3 buckets in your AWS account, specify the prefix as arn:aws:s3::: .

            Note

            This will also enable logging of data event activity performed by any user or role in your AWS account, even if that activity is performed on a bucket that belongs to another AWS account.

            • To log data events for all objects in all S3 buckets that include my-bucket in their names, specify the prefix as aws:s3:::my-bucket . The trail logs data events for all objects in all buckets whose name contains a match for my-bucket .
            • To log data events for all objects in an S3 bucket, specify the bucket and an empty object prefix such as arn:aws:s3:::bucket-1/ . The trail logs data events for all objects in this S3 bucket.
            • To log data events for specific objects, specify the S3 bucket and object prefix such as arn:aws:s3:::bucket-1/example-images . The trail logs data events for objects in this S3 bucket that match the prefix.
            • To log data events for all functions in your AWS account, specify the prefix as arn:aws:lambda .

            Note

            This will also enable logging of Invoke activity performed by any user or role in your AWS account, even if that activity is performed on a function that belongs to another AWS account.

            • To log data eents for a specific Lambda function, specify the function ARN.

            Note

            Lambda function ARNs are exact. Unlike S3, you cannot use matching. 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 .

            • The Invoke API operation on MyLambdaFunction is an AWS Lambda API. It is recorded as a data event in CloudTrail. Because the CloudTrail user specified logging data events for MyLambdaFunction , any invocations of that function are logged. The trail processes and logs the event.
            • The Invoke API operation on MyOtherLambdaFunction is an AWS Lambda API. Because the CloudTrail user did not specify logging data events for all Lambda functions, the Invoke operation for MyOtherLambdaFunction does not match the function specified for the trail. The trail doesn’t log the event.
            • Type (string) --

              The resource type in which you want to log data events. You can specify AWS::S3::Object or AWS::Lambda::Function resources.

            • Values (list) --

              An array of Amazon Resource Name (ARN) strings or partial ARN strings for the specified objects.

              • To log data events for all objects in all S3 buckets in your AWS account, specify the prefix as arn:aws:s3::: .

              Note

              This will also enable logging of data event activity performed by any user or role in your AWS account, even if that activity is performed on a bucket that belongs to another AWS account.

              • To log data events for all objects in all S3 buckets that include my-bucket in their names, specify the prefix as aws:s3:::my-bucket . The trail logs data events for all objects in all buckets whose name contains a match for my-bucket .
              • To log data events for all objects in an S3 bucket, specify the bucket and an empty object prefix such as arn:aws:s3:::bucket-1/ . The trail logs data events for all objects in this S3 bucket.
              • To log data events for specific objects, specify the S3 bucket and object prefix such as arn:aws:s3:::bucket-1/example-images . The trail logs data events for objects in this S3 bucket that match the prefix.
              • To log data events for all functions in your AWS account, specify the prefix as arn:aws:lambda .

              Note

              This will also enable logging of Invoke activity performed by any user or role in your AWS account, even if that activity is performed on a function that belongs to another AWS account.

              • To log data eents for a specific Lambda function, specify the function ARN.

              Note

              Lambda function ARNs are exact. Unlike S3, you cannot use matching. 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 .

  • (dict) --

    Returns the objects or data listed below if successful. Otherwise, returns an error.

start_logging(**kwargs)

Starts the recording of AWS 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.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = client.start_logging(
    Name='string'
)
Parameters
Name (string) --

[REQUIRED]

Specifies the name or the CloudTrail ARN of the trail for which CloudTrail logs AWS API calls. The format of a trail ARN is:

arn:aws:cloudtrail:us-east-2:123456789012:trail/MyTrail

  • (dict) --

    Returns the objects or data listed below if successful. Otherwise, returns an error.

stop_logging(**kwargs)

Suspends the recording of AWS 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.

Request Syntax

response = client.stop_logging(
    Name='string'
)
Parameters
Name (string) --

[REQUIRED]

Specifies the name or the CloudTrail ARN of the trail for which CloudTrail will stop logging AWS API calls. The format of a trail ARN is:

arn:aws:cloudtrail:us-east-2:123456789012:trail/MyTrail
Return type
dict
Returns
Response Syntax
{}

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    Returns the objects or data listed below if successful. Otherwise, returns an error.

update_trail(**kwargs)

Updates the settings that specify delivery of 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.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = client.update_trail(
    Name='string',
    S3BucketName='string',
    S3KeyPrefix='string',
    SnsTopicName='string',
    IncludeGlobalServiceEvents=True|False,
    IsMultiRegionTrail=True|False,
    EnableLogFileValidation=True|False,
    CloudWatchLogsLogGroupArn='string',
    CloudWatchLogsRoleArn='string',
    KmsKeyId='string'
)
Parameters
  • Name (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    Specifies the name of the trail or trail ARN. If Name is a trail name, the string must meet the following requirements:

    • Contain only ASCII letters (a-z, A-Z), numbers (0-9), periods (.), underscores (_), or dashes (-)
    • Start with a letter or number, and end with a letter or number
    • Be between 3 and 128 characters
    • Have no adjacent periods, underscores or dashes. Names like my-_namespace and my--namespace are invalid.
    • Not be in IP address format (for example, 192.168.5.4)

    If Name is a trail ARN, it must be in the format:

    arn:aws:cloudtrail:us-east-2:123456789012:trail/MyTrail
  • S3BucketName (string) -- Specifies the name of the Amazon S3 bucket designated for publishing log files. See Amazon S3 Bucket Naming Requirements .
  • S3KeyPrefix (string) -- Specifies the Amazon S3 key prefix that comes after the name of the bucket you have designated for log file delivery. For more information, see Finding Your CloudTrail Log Files . The maximum length is 200 characters.
  • SnsTopicName (string) -- Specifies the name of the Amazon SNS topic defined for notification of log file delivery. The maximum length is 256 characters.
  • IncludeGlobalServiceEvents (boolean) -- Specifies whether the trail is publishing events from global services such as IAM to the log files.
  • IsMultiRegionTrail (boolean) -- Specifies whether the trail applies only to the current region or to all regions. The default is false. If the trail exists only in the current region and this value is set to true, shadow trails (replications of the trail) will be created in the other regions. If the trail exists in all regions and this value is set to false, the trail will remain in the region where it was created, and its shadow trails in other regions will be deleted.
  • EnableLogFileValidation (boolean) --

    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 will 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.

  • CloudWatchLogsLogGroupArn (string) -- Specifies a log group name using an Amazon Resource Name (ARN), a unique identifier that represents the log group to which CloudTrail logs will be delivered. Not required unless you specify CloudWatchLogsRoleArn.
  • CloudWatchLogsRoleArn (string) -- Specifies the role for the CloudWatch Logs endpoint to assume to write to a user's log group.
  • KmsKeyId (string) --

    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.

    Examples:

    • alias/MyAliasName
    • arn:aws:kms:us-east-2:123456789012:alias/MyAliasName
    • arn:aws:kms:us-east-2:123456789012:key/12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012
