Options

--channel (string)

The ARN or UUID of a channel.

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command's default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

Output

ChannelArn -> (string)

The ARN of an channel returned by a GetChannel request.

Name -> (string)

The name of the CloudTrail channel. For service-linked channels, the name is aws-service-channel/service-name/custom-suffix where service-name represents the name of the Amazon Web Services service that created the channel and custom-suffix represents the suffix generated by the Amazon Web Services service.

Source -> (string)

The source for the CloudTrail channel.

SourceConfig -> (structure)

Provides information about the advanced event selectors configured for the channel, and whether the channel applies to all Regions or a single Region.

ApplyToAllRegions -> (boolean)

Specifies whether the channel applies to a single Region or to all Regions.

AdvancedEventSelectors -> (list)

The advanced event selectors that are configured for the channel.

(structure)

Advanced event selectors let you create fine-grained selectors for CloudTrail management, data, and network activity events. They help you control costs by logging only those events that are important to you. For more information about configuring advanced event selectors, see the Logging data events , Logging network activity events , and Logging management events topics in the CloudTrail User Guide .

You cannot apply both event selectors and advanced event selectors to a trail.

For information about configurable advanced event selector fields, see AdvancedEventSelector in the CloudTrailUser Guide .

Name -> (string)

An optional, descriptive name for an advanced event selector, such as "Log data events for only two S3 buckets".

FieldSelectors -> (list)

Contains all selector statements in an advanced event selector.

(structure)

A single selector statement in an advanced event selector.

Field -> (string)

A field in a CloudTrail event record on which to filter events to be logged. For event data stores for CloudTrail Insights events, Config configuration items, Audit Manager evidence, or events outside of Amazon Web Services, the field is used only for selecting events as filtering is not supported.

For more information, see AdvancedFieldSelector in the CloudTrailUser Guide .

Equals -> (list)

An operator that includes events that match the exact value of the event record field specified as the value of Field . This is the only valid operator that you can use with the readOnly , eventCategory , and resources.type fields.

(string)

StartsWith -> (list)

An operator that includes events that match the first few characters of the event record field specified as the value of Field .

(string)

EndsWith -> (list)

An operator that includes events that match the last few characters of the event record field specified as the value of Field .

(string)

NotEndsWith -> (list)

An operator that excludes events that match the last few characters of the event record field specified as the value of Field .

The destinations for the channel. For channels created for integrations, the destinations are the event data stores that log events arriving through the channel. For service-linked channels, the destination is the Amazon Web Services service that created the service-linked channel to receive events.

(structure)

Contains information about the destination receiving events.

Type -> (string)

The type of destination for events arriving from a channel. For channels used for a CloudTrail Lake integration, the value is EVENT_DATA_STORE . For service-linked channels, the value is AWS_SERVICE .
