View a managed dashboard with the CloudTrail console

CloudTrail Lake provides managed dashboards that show event trends for event data stores that collect management events, data events, and Insights events. These dashboards are managed by CloudTrail Lake. You cannot modify, add, or remove the widgets for these dashboards, however, you can save a managed dashboard as a custom dashboard if you want to modify the widgets or set a refresh schedule.

Note

You can only view managed dashboards for event data stores that exist in your account.

To view a managed dashboard

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the CloudTrail console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudtrail/.

2. In the left navigation pane, under Lake, choose Dashboard.

3. Choose the Managed and custom dashboards tab.

4. From Managed dashboards, choose the dashboard you want to view. For more information, see Available managed dashboards.

   Note

   The dropdown shows only relevant event data stores for the selected dashboard. For example, if you choose dashboards focused on data events, like S3 data events, the dropdown will only show event data stores that are configured to collect data events.

5. Choose the event data store for the dashboard. CloudTrail will run queries on this dashboard when the dashboard is refreshed.

6. To view the query for a widget, choose View and edit query at the bottom of the widget.

7. Choose to filter the dashboard data by an Absolute range or Relative range. Choose Absolute range to select a specific date and time range. Choose Relative range to select a predefined time range or a custom range. By default, the dashboard displays event data for the past 24 hours.

   Note

   CloudTrail Lake queries incur costs based upon the amount of data scanned. To help control costs, you can filter on a narrower time range. For more information about CloudTrail pricing, see AWS CloudTrail Pricing.

8. Choose the refresh icon to populate the graphics for the dashboard's widgets. Each widget indicates the status of the refresh.

Save a managed dashboard as a custom dashboard

You cannot modify a managed dashboard, but you can save a copy as a custom dashboard. This allows you to set a refresh schedule for the dashboard and modify the widgets.

To save a managed dashboard as a custom dashboard

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the CloudTrail console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudtrail/.

2. In the left navigation pane, under Lake, choose Dashboard.

3. Choose the Managed and custom dashboards tab.

4. Choose the managed dashboard that you want to create a copy of.

5. Choose Save as new dashboard.

6. Provide a name to identify the dashboard.

7. (Optional) In the Tags section, you can add up to 50 tag key pairs to help you identify and sort your dashboards. For more information about how you can use tags in AWS, see Tagging AWS resources in the Tagging AWS Resources User Guide.

8. For Permissions, choose the event data stores that you want to apply permissions to. Because CloudTrail runs queries to populate data for the widgets on a dashboard, CloudTrail requires permissions to run queries on the event data store associated with the dashboard's widgets. For each event data store selected in this step, CloudTrail attaches a resource-based policy to the event data store that allows CloudTrail to run queries. You can deselect an event data store if you do not want to allow permissions.

9. Choose Create dashboard.

After you create the custom dashboard, you can add widgets, remove widgets, and set a refresh schedule for the dashboard.
