Starts an import of logged trail events from a source S3 bucket to a destination
event data store. By default, CloudTrail only imports events contained in the S3 bucket's
CloudTrail prefix and the prefixes inside the CloudTrail prefix, and
does not check prefixes for other Amazon Web Services services. If you want to import
CloudTrail events contained in another prefix, you must include the prefix in the
S3LocationUri. For more considerations about importing trail events, see Considerations.
When you start a new import, the Destinations and ImportSource parameters
are required. Before starting a new import, disable any access control lists (ACLs)
attached to the source S3 bucket. For more information about disabling ACLs, see Controlling
ownership of objects and disabling ACLs for your bucket.
When you retry an import, the ImportID parameter is required.
If the destination event data store is for an organization, you must use the management account to import trail events. You cannot use the delegated administrator account for the organization.
For .NET Core this operation is only available in asynchronous form. Please refer to StartImportAsync.
