Configures an event selector for your trail. 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.
cloudtrail_put_event_selectors(TrailName, EventSelectors)
[required] Specifies the name of the trail or trail ARN. If you specify a trail name, the string 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)
If you specify a trail ARN, it must be in the format:
arn:aws:cloudtrail:us-east-2:123456789012:trail/MyTrail
[required] Specifies the settings for your event selectors. You can configure up to five event selectors for a trail.
svc$put_event_selectors( TrailName = "string", EventSelectors = list( list( ReadWriteType = "ReadOnly"|"WriteOnly"|"All", IncludeManagementEvents = TRUE|FALSE, DataResources = list( list( Type = "string", Values = list( "string" ) ) ), ExcludeManagementEventSources = list( "string" ) ) ) )
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 and Limits in AWS CloudTrail in the AWS CloudTrail User Guide.
