        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.

        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.

        (string) –
      - StartsWith (list) –
        
        An operator that includes events that match the first few characters of the event record field specified as the value of Field.
        
        (string) –
      - EndsWith (list) –
        
        An operator that includes events that match the last few characters of the event record field specified as the value of Field.
        
        (string) –
      - NotEquals (list) –
        
        An operator that excludes events that match the exact value of the event record field specified as the value of Field.
        
        (string) –

        (string) –
      - NotEndsWith (list) –
        
        An operator that excludes events that match the last few characters of the event record field specified as the value of Field.
        
        (string) –
MultiRegionEnabled (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.
OrganizationEnabled (boolean) – Specifies whether an event data store collects events logged for an organization in Organizations.
RetentionPeriod (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.
TerminationProtectionEnabled (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.
TagsList (list) –
A list of tags.
- (dict) –
  
  A custom key-value pair associated with a resource such as a CloudTrail trail, event data store, dashboard, or channel.
  - 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.
KmsKeyId (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
- 12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012
StartIngestion (boolean) – Specifies whether the event data store should start ingesting live events. The default is true.
BillingMode (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.
