Logging API Requests
Amazon Web Services Secrets Manager supports Amazon Web Services CloudTrail, a service that records Amazon Web Services API calls for your Amazon Web Services account and delivers log files to an Amazon S3 bucket. By using information that's collected by Amazon Web Services CloudTrail, you can determine the requests successfully made to Secrets Manager, who made the request, when it was made, and so on. For more about Amazon Web Services Secrets Manager and support for Amazon Web Services CloudTrail, see in the Amazon Web Services Secrets Manager User Guide. To learn more about CloudTrail, including enabling it and find your log files, see the .

xAmzTargetSecretsmanagerCancelRotateSecret.cancelRotateSecretTurns off automatic rotation, and if a rotation is currently in progress, cancels the rotation.
If you cancel a rotation in progress, it can leave the
VersionStagelabels in an unexpected state. You might need to remove the staging labelAWSPENDINGfrom the partially created version. You also need to determine whether to roll back to the previous version of the secret by moving the staging labelAWSCURRENTto the version that hasAWSPENDING. To determine which version has a specific staging label, call ListSecretVersionIds [blocked]. Then use UpdateSecretVersionStage [blocked] to change staging labels. For more information, see .To turn on automatic rotation again, call RotateSecret [blocked].

xAmzTargetSecretsmanagerCreateSecret.createSecretCreates a new secret. A secret can be a password, a set of credentials such as a user name and password, an OAuth token, or other secret information that you store in an encrypted form in Secrets Manager. The secret also includes the connection information to access a database or other service, which Secrets Manager doesn't encrypt. A secret in Secrets Manager consists of both the protected secret data and the important information needed to manage the secret.
For secrets that use managed rotation, you need to create the secret through the managing service. For more information, see .
For information about creating a secret in the console, see .
To create a secret, you can provide the secret value to be encrypted in either the
SecretStringparameter or theSecretBinaryparameter, but not both. If you includeSecretStringorSecretBinarythen Secrets Manager creates an initial secret version and automatically attaches the staging labelAWSCURRENTto it.For database credentials you want to rotate, for Secrets Manager to be able to rotate the secret, you must make sure the JSON you store in the
SecretStringmatches the .If you don't specify an KMS encryption key, Secrets Manager uses the Amazon Web Services managed key
aws/secretsmanager. If this key doesn't already exist in your account, then Secrets Manager creates it for you automatically. All users and roles in the Amazon Web Services account automatically have access to useaws/secretsmanager. Creatingaws/secretsmanagercan result in a one-time significant delay in returning the result.If the secret is in a different Amazon Web Services account from the credentials calling the API, then you can't use
aws/secretsmanagerto encrypt the secret, and you must create and use a customer managed KMS key.Secrets Manager generates a CloudTrail log entry when you call this action. Do not include sensitive information in request parameters except
SecretBinaryorSecretStringbecause it might be logged. For more information, see .Required permissions:
secretsmanager:CreateSecret. If you include tags in the secret, you also needsecretsmanager:TagResource. For more information, see and .To encrypt the secret with a KMS key other than
aws/secretsmanager, you needkms:GenerateDataKeyandkms:Decryptpermission to the key. -
xAmzTargetSecretsmanagerDeleteResourcePolicy.deleteResourcePolicyDeletes the resource-based permission policy attached to the secret. To attach a policy to a secret, use PutResourcePolicy [blocked].

Required permissions:
secretsmanager:DeleteResourcePolicy. For more information, see and . -
xAmzTargetSecretsmanagerDeleteSecret.deleteSecretDeletes a secret and all of its versions. You can specify a recovery window during which you can restore the secret. The minimum recovery window is 7 days. The default recovery window is 30 days. Secrets Manager attaches a
DeletionDatestamp to the secret that specifies the end of the recovery window. At the end of the recovery window, Secrets Manager deletes the secret permanently.You can't delete a primary secret that is replicated to other Regions. You must first delete the replicas using RemoveRegionsFromReplication [blocked], and then delete the primary secret. When you delete a replica, it is deleted immediately.
You can't directly delete a version of a secret. Instead, you remove all staging labels from the version using UpdateSecretVersionStage [blocked]. This marks the version as deprecated, and then Secrets Manager can automatically delete the version in the background.
To determine whether an application still uses a secret, you can create an Amazon CloudWatch alarm to alert you to any attempts to access a secret during the recovery window. For more information, see .
Secrets Manager performs the permanent secret deletion at the end of the waiting period as a background task with low priority. There is no guarantee of a specific time after the recovery window for the permanent delete to occur.
At any time before recovery window ends, you can use RestoreSecret [blocked] to remove the
DeletionDateand cancel the deletion of the secret.When a secret is scheduled for deletion, you cannot retrieve the secret value. You must first cancel the deletion with RestoreSecret [blocked] and then you can retrieve the secret.

xAmzTargetSecretsmanagerPutSecretValue.putSecretValueCreates a new version with a new encrypted secret value and attaches it to the secret. The version can contain a new
SecretStringvalue or a newSecretBinaryvalue.We recommend you avoid calling
PutSecretValueat a sustained rate of more than once every 10 minutes. When you update the secret value, Secrets Manager creates a new version of the secret. Secrets Manager removes outdated versions when there are more than 100, but it does not remove versions created less than 24 hours ago. If you callPutSecretValuemore than once every 10 minutes, you create more versions than Secrets Manager removes, and you will reach the quota for secret versions.You can specify the staging labels to attach to the new version in
VersionStages. If you don't includeVersionStages, then Secrets Manager automatically moves the staging labelAWSCURRENTto this version. If this operation creates the first version for the secret, then Secrets Manager automatically attaches the staging labelAWSCURRENTto it. If this operation moves the staging labelAWSCURRENTfrom another version to this version, then Secrets Manager also automatically moves the staging labelAWSPREVIOUSto the version thatAWSCURRENTwas removed from.This operation is idempotent. If you call this operation with a
ClientRequestTokenthat matches an existing version's VersionId, and you specify the same secret data, the operation succeeds but does nothing. However, if the secret data is different, then the operation fails because you can't modify an existing version; you can only create new ones.Secrets Manager generates a CloudTrail log entry when you call this action.

xAmzTargetSecretsmanagerRotateSecret.rotateSecretConfigures and starts the asynchronous process of rotating the secret. For information about rotation, see in the Secrets Manager User Guide. If you include the configuration parameters, the operation sets the values for the secret and then immediately starts a rotation. If you don't include the configuration parameters, the operation starts a rotation with the values already stored in the secret.
When rotation is successful, the
AWSPENDINGstaging label might be attached to the same version as theAWSCURRENTversion, or it might not be attached to any version. If theAWSPENDINGstaging label is present but not attached to the same version asAWSCURRENT, then any later invocation ofRotateSecretassumes that a previous rotation request is still in progress and returns an error. When rotation is unsuccessful, theAWSPENDINGstaging label might be attached to an empty secret version.

xAmzTargetSecretsmanagerTagResource.tagResourceAttaches tags to a secret. Tags consist of a key name and a value. Tags are part of the secret's metadata. They are not associated with specific versions of the secret. This operation appends tags to the existing list of tags.
The following restrictions apply to tags:
-
Maximum number of tags per secret: 50
-
Maximum key length: 127 Unicode characters in UTF-8
-
Maximum value length: 255 Unicode characters in UTF-8
-
Tag keys and values are case sensitive.
-
Do not use the
aws:prefix in your tag names or values because Amazon Web Services reserves it for Amazon Web Services use. You can't edit or delete tag names or values with this prefix. Tags with this prefix do not count against your tags per secret limit. -
If you use your tagging schema across multiple services and resources, other services might have restrictions on allowed characters. Generally allowed characters: letters, spaces, and numbers representable in UTF-8, plus the following special characters: + - = . _ : / @.
If you use tags as part of your security strategy, then adding or removing a tag can change permissions. If successfully completing this operation would result in you losing your permissions for this secret, then the operation is blocked and returns an Access Denied error.

xAmzTargetSecretsmanagerUntagResource.untagResourceRemoves specific tags from a secret.
This operation is idempotent. If a requested tag is not attached to the secret, no error is returned and the secret metadata is unchanged.
If you use tags as part of your security strategy, then removing a tag can change permissions. If successfully completing this operation would result in you losing your permissions for this secret, then the operation is blocked and returns an Access Denied error.

xAmzTargetSecretsmanagerUpdateSecret.updateSecretModifies the details of a secret, including metadata and the secret value. To change the secret value, you can also use PutSecretValue [blocked].
To change the rotation configuration of a secret, use RotateSecret [blocked] instead.
To change a secret so that it is managed by another service, you need to recreate the secret in that service. See .
We recommend you avoid calling
UpdateSecretat a sustained rate of more than once every 10 minutes. When you callUpdateSecretto update the secret value, Secrets Manager creates a new version of the secret. Secrets Manager removes outdated versions when there are more than 100, but it does not remove versions created less than 24 hours ago. If you update the secret value more than once every 10 minutes, you create more versions than Secrets Manager removes, and you will reach the quota for secret versions.If you include
SecretStringorSecretBinaryto create a new secret version, Secrets Manager automatically moves the staging labelAWSCURRENTto the new version. Then it attaches the labelAWSPREVIOUSto the version thatAWSCURRENTwas removed from.If you call this operation with a
ClientRequestTokenthat matches an existing version'sVersionId, the operation results in an error. You can't modify an existing version, you can only create a new version. To remove a version, remove all staging labels from it. See UpdateSecretVersionStage [blocked].Secrets Manager generates a CloudTrail log entry when you call this action.

xAmzTargetSecretsmanagerUpdateSecretVersionStage.updateSecretVersionStageModifies the staging labels attached to a version of a secret. Secrets Manager uses staging labels to track a version as it progresses through the secret rotation process. Each staging label can be attached to only one version at a time. To add a staging label to a version when it is already attached to another version, Secrets Manager first removes it from the other version first and then attaches it to this one. For more information about versions and staging labels, see .
The staging labels that you specify in the
VersionStageparameter are added to the existing list of staging labels for the version.You can move the
AWSCURRENTstaging label to this version by including it in this call.Whenever you move
AWSCURRENT, Secrets Manager automatically moves the labelAWSPREVIOUSto the version thatAWSCURRENTwas removed from.If this action results in the last label being removed from a version, then the version is considered to be 'deprecated' and can be deleted by Secrets Manager.

xAmzTargetSecretsmanagerValidateResourcePolicy.validateResourcePolicyValidates that a resource policy does not grant a wide range of principals access to your secret. A resource-based policy is optional for secrets.
The API performs three checks when validating the policy:
-
Sends a call to , an automated reasoning engine, to ensure your resource policy does not allow broad access to your secret, for example policies that use a wildcard for the principal.
-
Checks for correct syntax in a policy.
-
Verifies the policy does not lock out a caller.
