Client

class CloudTrail.Client

A low-level client representing AWS CloudTrail:

client = session.create_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',

        },
    ]
)
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-1:123456789012: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.

      • Value (string) --

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

Return type

Returns

Response Syntax

{}

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-1:123456789012:alias/MyAliasName
    • arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:123456789012:key/12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012

      The event selectors that are configured for the trail.

      • (dict) --

        Use event selectors to specify whether you want your trail to log management and/or 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.

          • (dict) --

            The Amazon S3 objects that you specify in your event selectors for your trail to log data events. Data events are object-level API operations that access S3 objects, such as GetObject , DeleteObject , and PutObject . You can specify up to 250 S3 buckets and object prefixes for a trail.

            Example

            • You create an event selector for a trail and specify an S3 bucket and an empty prefix, such as arn:aws:s3:::bucket-1/ .
            • You upload an image file to bucket-1 .
            • The PutObject API operation occurs on an object in the S3 bucket that you specified in the event selector. The trail processes and logs the event.
            • You upload another image file to a different S3 bucket named arn:aws:s3:::bucket-2 .
            • The event occurs on an object in an S3 bucket that you didn't specify in the event selector. The trail doesn’t log the event.
            • Type (string) --

              The resource type in which you want to log data events. You can specify only the following value: AWS::S3::Object .

            • Values (list) --

              A list of ARN-like strings for the specified S3 objects.

              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.

              • (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.

lookup_events(**kwargs)

Looks up API activity events captured by CloudTrail that create, update, or delete resources in your account. Events for a region can be looked up for the times in which you had CloudTrail turned on in that region during the last seven days. Lookup supports the following attributes:

  • Event ID
  • Event name
  • Event source
  • Resource name
  • Resource type
  • User name

All attributes are optional. The default number of results returned is 10, with a maximum of 50 possible. The response includes a token that you can use to get the next page of results.

Warning

The rate of lookup requests is limited to one per second per account. If this limit is exceeded, a throttling error occurs.

Warning

Events that occurred during the selected time range will not be available for lookup if CloudTrail logging was not enabled when the events occurred.

put_event_selectors(**kwargs)

Configures an event selector for your trail. Use event selectors to specify whether you want your trail to log management and/or 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 in the AWS CloudTrail User Guide .

    • 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-1:123456789012: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.

Paginators

The available paginators are:

class CloudTrail.Paginator.LookupEvents
paginator = client.get_paginator('lookup_events')
paginate(**kwargs)

Creates an iterator that will paginate through responses from CloudTrail.Client.lookup_events().

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response_iterator = paginator.paginate(
    LookupAttributes=[
        {
            'AttributeKey': 'EventId'|'EventName'|'Username'|'ResourceType'|'ResourceName'|'EventSource',
            'AttributeValue': 'string'
        },
    ],
    StartTime=datetime(2015, 1, 1),
    EndTime=datetime(2015, 1, 1),
    PaginationConfig={
        'MaxItems': 123,
        'PageSize': 123,
        'StartingToken': 'string'
    }
)
Parameters
  • LookupAttributes (list) --

    Contains a list of lookup attributes. Currently the list can contain only one item.

    • (dict) --

      Specifies an attribute and value that filter the events returned.

      • AttributeKey (string) -- [REQUIRED]

        Specifies an attribute on which to filter the events returned.

      • AttributeValue (string) -- [REQUIRED]

        Specifies a value for the specified AttributeKey.

  • StartTime (datetime) -- Specifies that only events that occur after or at the specified time are returned. If the specified start time is after the specified end time, an error is returned.
  • EndTime (datetime) -- Specifies that only events that occur before or at the specified time are returned. If the specified end time is before the specified start time, an error is returned.
  • PaginationConfig (dict) --

    A dictionary that provides parameters to control pagination.

    • MaxItems (integer) --

      The total number of items to return. If the total number of items available is more than the value specified in max-items then a NextToken will be provided in the output that you can use to resume pagination.
