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 .
See the for information about the data that is included with each Amazon Web Services API call listed in the log files.

xAmzTargetComAmazonawsCloudtrailV20131101CloudTrail20131101AddTags.addTagsAdds 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).

xAmzTargetComAmazonawsCloudtrailV20131101CloudTrail20131101PutEventSelectors.putEventSelectorsConfigures 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
-
You create an event selector for a trail and specify that you want write-only events.
-
The EC2
GetConsoleOutputandRunInstancesAPI operations occur in your account. -
CloudTrail evaluates whether the events match your event selectors.
-
The
RunInstancesis a write-only event and it matches your event selector. The trail logs the event. -
The
GetConsoleOutputis a read-only event that doesn't match your event selector. The trail doesn't log the event.
The
PutEventSelectorsoperation must be called from the region in which the trail was created; otherwise, anInvalidHomeRegionExceptionexception is thrown.You can configure up to five event selectors for each trail. For more information, see , , and 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
AdvancedEventSelectorsorEventSelectors, but not both. If you applyAdvancedEventSelectorsto a trail, any existingEventSelectorsare overwritten. For more information about advanced event selectors, see in the CloudTrail User Guide. -
-
xAmzTargetComAmazonawsCloudtrailV20131101CloudTrail20131101PutInsightSelectors.putInsightSelectorsLets you enable Insights event logging by specifying the Insights selectors that you want to enable on an existing trail. You also use
PutInsightSelectorsto turn off Insights event logging, by passing an empty list of insight types. The valid Insights event types in this release areApiErrorRateInsightandApiCallRateInsight. -
xAmzTargetComAmazonawsCloudtrailV20131101CloudTrail20131101PutResourcePolicy.putResourcePolicyAttaches 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 in the CloudTrail User Guide.
-
xAmzTargetComAmazonawsCloudtrailV20131101CloudTrail20131101RegisterOrganizationDelegatedAdmin.registerOrganizationDelegatedAdminRegisters an organization’s member account as the CloudTrail delegated administrator.
-
xAmzTargetComAmazonawsCloudtrailV20131101CloudTrail20131101RemoveTags.removeTagsRemoves the specified tags from a trail, event data store, or channel.
-
xAmzTargetComAmazonawsCloudtrailV20131101CloudTrail20131101RestoreEventDataStore.restoreEventDataStoreRestores 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. -
xAmzTargetComAmazonawsCloudtrailV20131101CloudTrail20131101StartImport.startImportStarts 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
CloudTrailprefix and the prefixes inside theCloudTrailprefix, 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 theS3LocationUri. For more considerations about importing trail events, see .When you start a new import, the
DestinationsandImportSourceparameters 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 .When you retry an import, the
ImportIDparameter 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.
-
xAmzTargetComAmazonawsCloudtrailV20131101CloudTrail20131101StartLogging.startLoggingStarts 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.
-
xAmzTargetComAmazonawsCloudtrailV20131101CloudTrail20131101StartQuery.startQueryStarts a CloudTrail Lake query. The required
QueryStatementparameter provides your SQL query, enclosed in single quotation marks. Use the optionalDeliveryS3Uriparameter to deliver the query results to an S3 bucket. -
xAmzTargetComAmazonawsCloudtrailV20131101CloudTrail20131101StopImport.stopImportStops a specified import.
-
xAmzTargetComAmazonawsCloudtrailV20131101CloudTrail20131101StopLogging.stopLoggingSuspends 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
InvalidHomeRegionExceptionwill occur. This operation cannot be called on the shadow trails (replicated trails in other regions) of a trail enabled in all regions. -
xAmzTargetComAmazonawsCloudtrailV20131101CloudTrail20131101UpdateChannel.updateChannelUpdates a channel specified by a required channel ARN or UUID.
-
xAmzTargetComAmazonawsCloudtrailV20131101CloudTrail20131101UpdateEventDataStore.updateEventDataStoreUpdates an event data store. The required
EventDataStorevalue 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.RetentionPeriodis in days, and valid values are integers between 90 and 2557. By default,TerminationProtectionis enabled.For event data stores for CloudTrail events,
AdvancedEventSelectorsincludes or excludes management and data events in your event data store. For more information aboutAdvancedEventSelectors, see PutEventSelectorsRequest$AdvancedEventSelectors [blocked].For event data stores for Config configuration items, Audit Manager evidence, or non-Amazon Web Services events,
AdvancedEventSelectorsincludes events of that type in your event data store. -
xAmzTargetComAmazonawsCloudtrailV20131101CloudTrail20131101UpdateTrail.updateTrailUpdates 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.
UpdateTrailmust be called from the region in which the trail was created; otherwise, anInvalidHomeRegionExceptionis thrown. -
