AWS CloudTrail and Regional endpoints
Calls to regional and global endpoints are logged in the tlsDetails field
in AWS CloudTrail. Calls to regional endpoints, such as
us-east-2.amazonaws.com, are logged in CloudTrail to their
appropriate region. Calls to the global endpoint, sts.amazonaws.com, are
logged as calls to a global service. Events for global AWS STS endpoints are logged to
us-east-1.
Note
tlsDetails can only be viewed for services that support this field. See
Services
that support TLS details in CloudTrail in the AWS CloudTrail User
Guide
For more information, see Logging IAM and AWS STS API calls with AWS CloudTrail.
