Lets you enable Insights event logging on specific event categories by specifying the Insights selectors that you want to enable on an existing trail or event data store¶

Description¶

Lets you enable Insights event logging on specific event categories by specifying the Insights selectors that you want to enable on an existing trail or event data store. You also use put_insight_selectors to turn off Insights event logging, by passing an empty list of Insights types. The valid Insights event types are ApiErrorRateInsight and ApiCallRateInsight, and valid EventCategories are Management and Data.

Insights on data events are not supported on event data stores. For event data stores, you can only enable Insights on management events.

To enable Insights on an event data store, you must specify the ARNs (or ID suffix of the ARNs) for the source event data store (EventDataStore) and the destination event data store (InsightsDestination). The source event data store logs management events and enables Insights. The destination event data store logs Insights events based upon the management event activity of the source event data store. The source and destination event data stores must belong to the same Amazon Web Services account.

To log Insights events for a trail, you must specify the name (TrailName) of the CloudTrail trail for which you want to change or add Insights selectors.

• For Management events Insights: To log CloudTrail Insights on the API call rate, the trail or event data store must log write management events. To log CloudTrail Insights on the API error rate, the trail or event data store must log read or write management events.
• For Data events Insights: To log CloudTrail Insights on the API call rate or API error rate, the trail must log read or write data events. Data events Insights are not supported on event data store.

To log CloudTrail Insights events on API call volume, the trail or event data store must log write management events. To log CloudTrail Insights events on API error rate, the trail or event data store must log read or write management events. You can call get_event_selectors on a trail to check whether the trail logs management events. You can call get_event_data_store on an event data store to check whether the event data store logs management events.

Usage¶

cloudtrail_put_insight_selectors(TrailName, InsightSelectors,
  EventDataStore, InsightsDestination)

Arguments¶

• TrailName

  The name of the CloudTrail trail for which you want to change or add Insights selectors.

  You cannot use this parameter with the EventDataStore and InsightsDestination parameters.

• InsightSelectors

  [required] Contains the Insights types you want to log on a specific category of events on a trail or event data store. ApiCallRateInsight and ApiErrorRateInsight are valid Insight types.The EventCategory field can specify Management or Data events or both. For event data store, you can log Insights for management events only.

  The ApiCallRateInsight Insights type analyzes write-only management API calls or read and write data API calls that are aggregated per minute against a baseline API call volume.

  The ApiErrorRateInsight Insights type analyzes management and data API calls that result in error codes. The error is shown if the API call is unsuccessful.

• EventDataStore

  The ARN (or ID suffix of the ARN) of the source event data store for which you want to change or add Insights selectors. To enable Insights on an event data store, you must provide both the EventDataStore and InsightsDestination parameters.

  You cannot use this parameter with the TrailName parameter.

• InsightsDestination

  The ARN (or ID suffix of the ARN) of the destination event data store that logs Insights events. To enable Insights on an event data store, you must provide both the EventDataStore and InsightsDestination parameters.

  You cannot use this parameter with the TrailName parameter.

Value¶

A list with the following syntax:

list(
  TrailARN = "string",
  InsightSelectors = list(
    list(
      InsightType = "ApiCallRateInsight"|"ApiErrorRateInsight",
      EventCategories = list(
        "Management"|"Data"
      )
    )
  ),
  EventDataStoreArn = "string",
  InsightsDestination = "string"
)

Request syntax¶

svc$put_insight_selectors(
  TrailName = "string",
  InsightSelectors = list(
    list(
      InsightType = "ApiCallRateInsight"|"ApiErrorRateInsight",
      EventCategories = list(
        "Management"|"Data"
      )
    )
  ),
  EventDataStore = "string",
  InsightsDestination = "string"
)
