Options

--name (string)

The name of the event data store.

--advanced-event-selectors (list)

The advanced event selectors to use to select the events for the data store. You can configure up to five advanced event selectors for each event data store.

For more information about how to use advanced event selectors to log CloudTrail events, see Log events by using advanced event selectors in the CloudTrail User Guide.

For more information about how to use advanced event selectors to include Config configuration items in your event data store, see Create an event data store for Config configuration items in the CloudTrail User Guide.

For more information about how to use advanced event selectors to include events outside of Amazon Web Services events in your event data store, see Create an integration to log events from outside Amazon Web Services in the CloudTrail User Guide.

(structure)

Advanced event selectors let you create fine-grained selectors for CloudTrail management, data, and network activity events. They help you control costs by logging only those events that are important to you. For more information about configuring advanced event selectors, see the Logging data events , Logging network activity events , and Logging management events topics in the CloudTrail User Guide .

You cannot apply both event selectors and advanced event selectors to a trail.

  • **readOnly ** - This is an optional field that is only used for management events and data events. This field can be set to Equals with a value of true or false . If you do not add this field, CloudTrail logs both read and write events. A value of true logs only read events. A value of false logs only write events.
  • **eventSource ** - This field is only used for management events, data events (for event data stores only), and network activity events. For management events for trails, this is an optional field that can be set to NotEquals kms.amazonaws.com to exclude KMS management events, or NotEquals rdsdata.amazonaws.com to exclude RDS management events. For management and data events for event data stores, you can use it to include or exclude any event source and can use any operator. For network activity events, this is a required field that only uses the Equals operator. Set this field to the event source for which you want to log network activity events. If you want to log network activity events for multiple event sources, you must create a separate field selector for each event source. The following are valid values for network activity events:
    • cloudtrail.amazonaws.com
    • ec2.amazonaws.com
    • kms.amazonaws.com
    • secretsmanager.amazonaws.com
  • **eventName ** - This is an optional field that is only used for data events, management events (for event data stores only), and network activity events. You can use any operator with eventName . You can use it to filter in or filter out specific events. You can have multiple values for this field, separated by commas.
  • **eventCategory ** - This field is required and must be set to Equals .
    • For CloudTrail management events, the value must be Management .
    • For CloudTrail data events, the value must be Data .

  • **errorCode ** - This field is only used to filter CloudTrail network activity events and is optional. This is the error code to filter on. Currently, the only valid errorCode is VpceAccessDenied . errorCode can only use the Equals operator.
  • **sessionCredentialFromConsole ** - This is an optional field available only for event data stores, which is used to filter management and data events based on whether the events originated from an Amazon Web Services Management Console session. sessionCredentialFromConsole can only use the Equals and NotEquals operators.
  • **resources.type ** - This field is required for CloudTrail data events. resources.type can only use the Equals operator. For a list of available resource types for data events, see Data events in the CloudTrail User Guide . You can have only one resources.type field per selector. To log events on more than one resource type, add another selector.
  • **resources.ARN ** - The resources.ARN is an optional field for data events. You can use any operator with resources.ARN , but if you use Equals or NotEquals , the value must exactly match the ARN of a valid resource of the type you’ve specified in the template as the value of resources.type. To log all data events for all objects in a specific S3 bucket, use the StartsWith operator, and include only the bucket ARN as the matching value. For information about filtering data events on the resources.ARN field, see Filtering data events by resources.ARN in the CloudTrail User Guide .

Note

You can’t use the resources.ARN field to filter resource types that do not have ARNs.
  • **userIdentity.arn ** - This is an optional field available only for event data stores, which is used to filter management and data events on the userIdentity ARN. You can use any operator with userIdentity.arn . For more information on the userIdentity element, see CloudTrail userIdentity element in the CloudTrail User Guide .

--multi-region-enabled | --no-multi-region-enabled (boolean)

Specifies whether the event data store includes events from all Regions, or only from the Region in which the event data store is created.

--organization-enabled | --no-organization-enabled (boolean)

Specifies whether an event data store collects events logged for an organization in Organizations.

--retention-period (integer)

The retention period of the event data store, in days. If BillingMode is set to EXTENDABLE_RETENTION_PRICING , you can set a retention period of up to 3653 days, the equivalent of 10 years. If BillingMode is set to FIXED_RETENTION_PRICING , you can set a retention period of up to 2557 days, the equivalent of seven years.

CloudTrail Lake determines whether to retain an event by checking if the eventTime of the event is within the specified retention period. For example, if you set a retention period of 90 days, CloudTrail will remove events when the eventTime is older than 90 days.

Note

If you plan to copy trail events to this event data store, we recommend that you consider both the age of the events that you want to copy as well as how long you want to keep the copied events in your event data store. For example, if you copy trail events that are 5 years old and specify a retention period of 7 years, the event data store will retain those events for two years.

--termination-protection-enabled | --no-termination-protection-enabled (boolean)

Specifies whether termination protection is enabled for the event data store. If termination protection is enabled, you cannot delete the event data store until termination protection is disabled.

--tags-list (list)

Key -> (string)

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.

Value -> (string)

The value in a key-value pair of a tag. The value must be no longer than 256 Unicode characters.

Shorthand Syntax:

Key=string,Value=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[

    "Key": "string",
    "Value": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--kms-key-id (string)

Specifies the KMS key ID to use to encrypt the events 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.

Warning

Disabling or deleting the KMS key, or removing CloudTrail permissions on the key, prevents CloudTrail from logging events to the event data store, and prevents users from querying the data in the event data store that was encrypted with the key. After you associate an event data store with a KMS key, the KMS key cannot be removed or changed. Before you disable or delete a KMS key that you are using with an event data store, delete or back up your event data store.

CloudTrail also supports KMS multi-Region keys. For more information about multi-Region keys, see Using multi-Region keys in the Key Management Service Developer Guide .

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

--start-ingestion | --no-start-ingestion (boolean)

Specifies whether the event data store should start ingesting live events. The default is true.

--billing-mode (string)

The billing mode for the event data store determines the cost for ingesting events and the default and maximum retention period for the event data store.

The following are the possible values:

  • EXTENDABLE_RETENTION_PRICING - This billing mode is generally recommended if you want a flexible retention period of up to 3653 days (about 10 years). The default retention period for this billing mode is 366 days.
  • FIXED_RETENTION_PRICING - This billing mode is recommended if you expect to ingest more than 25 TB of event data per month and need a retention period of up to 2557 days (about 7 years). The default retention period for this billing mode is 2557 days.

The default value is EXTENDABLE_RETENTION_PRICING .

For more information about CloudTrail pricing, see CloudTrail Pricing and Managing CloudTrail Lake costs .

Possible values:

  • EXTENDABLE_RETENTION_PRICING
  • FIXED_RETENTION_PRICING

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command’s default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json
  • text
  • table
  • yaml
  • yaml-stream

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-binary-format (string)

The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.

  • base64
  • raw-in-base64-out

--no-cli-pager (boolean)

Disable cli pager for output.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.
