| Method | Path | Description |
|---|---|---|
| POST | / | Adds 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). |
| POST | / | Cancels a query if the query is not in a terminated state, such as CANCELLED, FAILED, TIMED_OUT, or FINISHED. You must specify an ARN value for EventDataStore. The ID of the query that you want to cancel is also required. When you run CancelQuery, the query status might show as CANCELLED even if the operation is not yet finished. |
| POST | / | Creates a channel for CloudTrail to ingest events from a partner or external source. After you create a channel, a CloudTrail Lake event data store can log events from the partner or source that you specify. |
| POST | / | Creates a new event data store. |
| POST | / | Creates a trail that specifies the settings for delivery of log data to an Amazon S3 bucket. |
| POST | / | Deletes a channel. |
| POST | / | Disables the event data store specified by EventDataStore, which accepts an event data store ARN. After you run DeleteEventDataStore, the event data store enters a PENDING_DELETION state, and is automatically deleted after a wait period of seven days. TerminationProtectionEnabled must be set to False on the event data store and the FederationStatus must be DISABLED. You cannot delete an event data store if TerminationProtectionEnabled is True or the FederationStatus is ENABLED. After you run DeleteEventDataStore on an event data store, you cannot run ListQueries, DescribeQuery, or GetQueryResults on queries that are using an event data store in a PENDING_DELETION state. An event data store in the PENDING_DELETION state does not incur costs. |
| POST | / | Deletes the resource-based policy attached to the CloudTrail channel. |
| POST | / | Deletes a trail. This operation must be called from the Region in which the trail was created. DeleteTrail cannot be called on the shadow trails (replicated trails in other Regions) of a trail that is enabled in all Regions. |
| POST | / | Removes CloudTrail delegated administrator permissions from a member account in an organization. |
| POST | / | Returns metadata about a query, including query run time in milliseconds, number of events scanned and matched, and query status. If the query results were delivered to an S3 bucket, the response also provides the S3 URI and the delivery status. You must specify either a QueryID or a QueryAlias. Specifying the QueryAlias parameter returns information about the last query run for the alias. |
| POST | / | Retrieves settings for one or more trails associated with the current Region for your account. |
| POST | / | Disables Lake query federation on the specified event data store. When you disable federation, CloudTrail disables the integration with Glue, Lake Formation, and Amazon Athena. After disabling Lake query federation, you can no longer query your event data in Amazon Athena. No CloudTrail Lake data is deleted when you disable federation and you can continue to run queries in CloudTrail Lake. |
| POST | / | Enables Lake query federation on the specified event data store. Federating an event data store lets you view the metadata associated with the event data store in the Glue Data Catalog and run SQL queries against your event data using Amazon Athena. The table metadata stored in the Glue Data Catalog lets the Athena query engine know how to find, read, and process the data that you want to query. When you enable Lake query federation, CloudTrail creates a managed database named aws:cloudtrail (if the database doesn't already exist) and a managed federated table in the Glue Data Catalog. The event data store ID is used for the table name. CloudTrail registers the role ARN and event data store in Lake Formation, the service responsible for allowing fine-grained access control of the federated resources in the Glue Data Catalog. For more information about Lake query federation, see Federate an event data store. |
| POST | / | Returns information about a specific channel. |
| POST | / | Returns information about an event data store specified as either an ARN or the ID portion of the ARN. |
| POST | / | Describes the settings for the event selectors that you configured for your trail. The information returned for your event selectors includes the following: If your event selector includes read-only events, write-only events, or all events. This applies to both management events and data events. If your event selector includes management events. If your event selector includes data events, the resources on which you are logging data events. For more information about logging management and data events, see the following topics in the CloudTrail User Guide: Logging management events Logging data events |
| POST | / | Returns information about a specific import. |
| POST | / | Describes the settings for the Insights event selectors that you configured for your trail or event data store. GetInsightSelectors shows if CloudTrail Insights event logging is enabled on the trail or event data store, and if it is, which Insights types are enabled. If you run GetInsightSelectors on a trail or event data store that does not have Insights events enabled, the operation throws the exception InsightNotEnabledException Specify either the EventDataStore parameter to get Insights event selectors for an event data store, or the TrailName parameter to the get Insights event selectors for a trail. You cannot specify these parameters together. For more information, see Logging CloudTrail Insights events in the CloudTrail User Guide. |
| POST | / | Gets event data results of a query. You must specify the QueryID value returned by the StartQuery operation. |
| POST | / | Retrieves the JSON text of the resource-based policy document attached to the CloudTrail channel. |
| POST | / | Returns settings information for a specified trail. |
| POST | / | 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. |
| POST | / | Lists the channels in the current account, and their source names. |
| POST | / | Returns information about all event data stores in the account, in the current Region. |
| POST | / | Returns a list of failures for the specified import. |
| POST | / | Returns information on all imports, or a select set of imports by ImportStatus or Destination. |
| POST | / | Returns Insights metrics data for trails that have enabled Insights. The request must include the EventSource, EventName, and InsightType parameters. If the InsightType is set to ApiErrorRateInsight, the request must also include the ErrorCode parameter. The following are the available time periods for ListInsightsMetricData. Each cutoff is inclusive. Data points with a period of 60 seconds (1-minute) are available for 15 days. Data points with a period of 300 seconds (5-minute) are available for 63 days. Data points with a period of 3600 seconds (1 hour) are available for 90 days. Access to the ListInsightsMetricData API operation is linked to the cloudtrail:LookupEvents action. To use this operation, you must have permissions to perform the cloudtrail:LookupEvents action. |
| POST | / | 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. CloudTrail uses different private and public key pairs per Region. Each digest file is signed with a private key unique to its Region. When you validate a digest file from a specific Region, you must look in the same Region for its corresponding public key. |
| POST | / | Returns a list of queries and query statuses for the past seven days. You must specify an ARN value for EventDataStore. Optionally, to shorten the list of results, you can specify a time range, formatted as timestamps, by adding StartTime and EndTime parameters, and a QueryStatus value. Valid values for QueryStatus include QUEUED, RUNNING, FINISHED, FAILED, TIMED_OUT, or CANCELLED. |
| POST | / | Lists the tags for the specified trails, event data stores, or channels in the current Region. |
| POST | / | Lists trails that are in the current account. |
| POST | / | Looks up management events or CloudTrail Insights events that are captured by CloudTrail. You can look up events that occurred in a Region within the last 90 days. LookupEvents returns recent Insights events for trails that enable Insights. To view Insights events for an event data store, you can run queries on your Insights event data store, and you can also view the Lake dashboard for Insights. Lookup supports the following attributes for management events: Amazon Web Services access key Event ID Event name Event source Read only Resource name Resource type User name Lookup supports the following attributes for Insights events: Event ID Event name Event source All attributes are optional. The default number of results returned is 50, with a maximum of 50 possible. The response includes a token that you can use to get the next page of results. The rate of lookup requests is limited to two per second, per account, per Region. If this limit is exceeded, a throttling error occurs. |
| POST | / | Configures 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. If you want your trail to log Insights events, be sure the event selector enables logging of the Insights event types you want configured for your trail. For more information about logging Insights events, see Logging Insights events in the CloudTrail User Guide. 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 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 that 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 exception is thrown. You can configure up to five event selectors for each trail. For more information, see Logging management events, Logging data events, and Quotas in CloudTrail 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 AdvancedEventSelectors or EventSelectors, but not both. If you apply AdvancedEventSelectors to a trail, any existing EventSelectors are overwritten. For more information about advanced event selectors, see Logging data events in the CloudTrail User Guide. |
| POST | / | Lets you enable Insights event logging by specifying the Insights selectors that you want to enable on an existing trail or event data store. You also use PutInsightSelectors to turn off Insights event logging, by passing an empty list of Insights types. The valid Insights event types are ApiErrorRateInsight and ApiCallRateInsight. To enable Insights on an event data store, you must specify the ARNs (or ID suffix of the ARNs) for the source event data store (EventDataStore) and the destination event data store (InsightsDestination). The source event data store logs management events and enables Insights. The destination event data store logs Insights events based upon the management event activity of the source event data store. The source and destination event data stores must belong to the same Amazon Web Services account. To log Insights events for a trail, you must specify the name (TrailName) of the CloudTrail trail for which you want to change or add Insights selectors. To log CloudTrail Insights events on API call volume, the trail or event data store must log write management events. To log CloudTrail Insights events on API error rate, the trail or event data store must log read or write management events. You can call GetEventSelectors on a trail to check whether the trail logs management events. You can call GetEventDataStore on an event data store to check whether the event data store logs management events. For more information, see Logging CloudTrail Insights events in the CloudTrail User Guide. |
| POST | / | Attaches 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 CloudTrail resource-based policy examples in the CloudTrail User Guide. |
| POST | / | Registers an organization’s member account as the CloudTrail delegated administrator. |
| POST | / | Removes the specified tags from a trail, event data store, or channel. |
| POST | / | Restores 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. |
| POST | / | Starts the ingestion of live events on an event data store specified as either an ARN or the ID portion of the ARN. To start ingestion, the event data store Status must be STOPPED_INGESTION and the eventCategory must be Management, Data, or ConfigurationItem. |
| POST | / | Starts 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 CloudTrail prefix and the prefixes inside the CloudTrail prefix, 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 the S3LocationUri. For more considerations about importing trail events, see Considerations for copying trail events in the CloudTrail User Guide. When you start a new import, the Destinations and ImportSource parameters 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 Controlling ownership of objects and disabling ACLs for your bucket. When you retry an import, the ImportID parameter 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. |
| POST | / | Starts 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. |
| POST | / | Starts a CloudTrail Lake query. Use the QueryStatement parameter to provide your SQL query, enclosed in single quotation marks. Use the optional DeliveryS3Uri parameter to deliver the query results to an S3 bucket. StartQuery requires you specify either the QueryStatement parameter, or a QueryAlias and any QueryParameters. In the current release, the QueryAlias and QueryParameters parameters are used only for the queries that populate the CloudTrail Lake dashboards. |
| POST | / | Stops the ingestion of live events on an event data store specified as either an ARN or the ID portion of the ARN. To stop ingestion, the event data store Status must be ENABLED and the eventCategory must be Management, Data, or ConfigurationItem. |
| POST | / | Stops a specified import. |
| POST | / | Suspends 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 InvalidHomeRegionException will occur. This operation cannot be called on the shadow trails (replicated trails in other Regions) of a trail enabled in all Regions. |
| POST | / | Updates a channel specified by a required channel ARN or UUID. |
| POST | / | Updates an event data store. The required EventDataStore value 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. RetentionPeriod is in days, and valid values are integers between 7 and 3653 if the BillingMode is set to EXTENDABLE_RETENTION_PRICING, or between 7 and 2557 if BillingMode is set to FIXED_RETENTION_PRICING. By default, TerminationProtection is enabled. For event data stores for CloudTrail events, AdvancedEventSelectors includes or excludes management or data events in your event data store. For more information about AdvancedEventSelectors, see AdvancedEventSelectors. For event data stores for CloudTrail Insights events, Config configuration items, Audit Manager evidence, or non-Amazon Web Services events, AdvancedEventSelectors includes events of that type in your event data store. |
| POST | / | Updates 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. UpdateTrail must be called from the Region in which the trail was created; otherwise, an InvalidHomeRegionException is thrown. |
