L1 ConstructAWS::CloudTrail::Trail

CfnTrail

Creates a trail that specifies the settings for delivery of log data to an Amazon S3 bucket.

Import

import { CfnTrail } from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-cloudtrail';

Or use the module namespace:

import * as cloudtrail from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-cloudtrail';
// cloudtrail.CfnTrail

Properties

Configuration passed to the constructor as CfnTrailProps.

isLoggingRequired
boolean | IResolvable

Whether the CloudTrail trail is currently logging AWS API calls.

s3BucketNameRequired
string | IBucketRef

Specifies the name of the Amazon S3 bucket designated for publishing log files. See [Amazon S3 Bucket naming rules](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/bucketnamingrules.html) .

advancedEventSelectorsOptional
IResolvable | IResolvable | AdvancedEventSelectorProperty[]

Specifies the settings for advanced event selectors. You can use advanced event selectors to log management events, data events for all resource types, and network activity events. 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](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/logging-data-events-with-cloudtrail.html) and [Logging network activity events](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/logging-network-events-with-cloudtrail.html) in the *AWS CloudTrail User Guide* .

aggregationConfigurationsOptional
IResolvable | IResolvable | AggregationConfigurationProperty[]

Specifies the aggregation configuration to aggregate CloudTrail Events. A maximum of 1 aggregation configuration is allowed.

cloudWatchLogsLogGroupArnOptional
string | ILogGroupRef

Specifies a log group name using an Amazon Resource Name (ARN), a unique identifier that represents the log group to which CloudTrail logs are delivered. You must use a log group that exists in your account. To enable CloudWatch Logs delivery, you must provide values for `CloudWatchLogsLogGroupArn` and `CloudWatchLogsRoleArn` . > If you previously enabled CloudWatch Logs delivery and want to disable CloudWatch Logs delivery, you must set the values of the `CloudWatchLogsRoleArn` and `CloudWatchLogsLogGroupArn` fields to `""` .

cloudWatchLogsRoleArnOptional
string | IRoleRef

Specifies the role for the CloudWatch Logs endpoint to assume to write to a user's log group. You must use a role that exists in your account. To enable CloudWatch Logs delivery, you must provide values for `CloudWatchLogsLogGroupArn` and `CloudWatchLogsRoleArn` . > If you previously enabled CloudWatch Logs delivery and want to disable CloudWatch Logs delivery, you must set the values of the `CloudWatchLogsRoleArn` and `CloudWatchLogsLogGroupArn` fields to `""` .

enableLogFileValidationOptional
boolean | IResolvable

Specifies whether log file validation is enabled. The default is false. > When you disable log file integrity validation, the chain of digest files is broken after one hour. CloudTrail does 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.

eventSelectorsOptional
IResolvable | IResolvable | EventSelectorProperty[]

Use event selectors to further specify the management and data event settings for your trail. By default, trails created without specific event selectors will be configured to log all read and write management events, and no 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. You cannot apply both event selectors and advanced event selectors to a trail.

includeGlobalServiceEventsOptional
boolean | IResolvable

Specifies whether the trail is publishing events from global services such as IAM to the log files.

insightSelectorsOptional
IResolvable | IResolvable | InsightSelectorProperty[]

A JSON string that contains the Insights types you want to log on a trail. `ApiCallRateInsight` and `ApiErrorRateInsight` are valid Insight types. The `ApiCallRateInsight` Insights type analyzes write-only management API calls that are aggregated per minute against a baseline API call volume. The `ApiErrorRateInsight` Insights type analyzes management API calls that result in error codes. The error is shown if the API call is unsuccessful.

isMultiRegionTrailOptional
boolean | IResolvable

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. As a best practice, consider using trails that log events in all Regions.

isOrganizationTrailOptional
boolean | IResolvable

Specifies whether the trail is applied to all accounts in an organization in AWS Organizations , or only for the current AWS account . The default is false, and cannot be true unless the call is made on behalf of an AWS account that is the management account for an organization in AWS Organizations . If the trail is not an organization trail and this is set to `true` , the trail will be created in all AWS accounts that belong to the organization. If the trail is an organization trail and this is set to `false` , the trail will remain in the current AWS account but be deleted from all member accounts in the organization. > Only the management account for the organization can convert an organization trail to a non-organization trail, or convert a non-organization trail to an organization trail.

kmsKeyIdOptional
string | IAliasRef | IKeyRef

Specifies the AWS key ID to use to encrypt the logs and digest files 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. CloudTrail also supports AWS multi-Region keys. For more information about multi-Region keys, see [Using multi-Region keys](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kms/latest/developerguide/multi-region-keys-overview.html) in the *AWS 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

s3KeyPrefixOptional
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](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/get-and-view-cloudtrail-log-files.html#cloudtrail-find-log-files) . The maximum length is 200 characters.

snsTopicNameOptional
string

Specifies the name or ARN of the Amazon SNS topic defined for notification of log file delivery. The maximum length is 256 characters.

tagsOptional
CfnTag[]

A custom set of tags (key-value pairs) for this trail.

trailNameOptional
string

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 not valid. - Not be in IP address format (for example, 192.168.5.4)
