💼 [CloudTrail.5] CloudTrail trails should be integrated with Amazon CloudWatch Logs

  • Contextual name: 💼 [CloudTrail.5] CloudTrail trails should be integrated with Amazon CloudWatch Logs

  • ID: /frameworks/aws-fsbp-v1.0.0/cloudtrail/05

  • Located in: 💼 CloudTrail

Description​

CloudTrail records AWS API calls that are made in a given account. The recorded information includes the following:

  • The identity of the API caller
  • The time of the API call
  • The source IP address of the API caller
  • The request parameters
  • The response elements returned by the AWS service

CloudTrail uses Amazon S3 for log file storage and delivery. You can capture CloudTrail logs in a specified S3 bucket for long-term analysis. To perform real-time analysis, you can configure CloudTrail to send logs to CloudWatch Logs.

For a trail that is enabled in all Regions in an account, CloudTrail sends log files from all of those Regions to a CloudWatch Logs log group.
