About AWS CodeBuild information in CloudTrail

CloudTrail is enabled on your AWS account when you create the account. When activity occurs in CodeBuild, that activity is recorded in a CloudTrail event along with other AWS service events in Event history. You can view, search, and download recent events in your AWS account. For more information, see Viewing events with CloudTrail event history in the AWS CloudTrail User Guide.

For an ongoing record of events in your AWS account, including events for CodeBuild, create a trail. A trail enables CloudTrail to deliver log files to an S3 bucket. By default, when you create a trail in the console, the trail applies to all regions. The trail logs events from all regions in the AWS partition and delivers the log files to the S3 bucket that you specify. You can configure other AWS services to further analyze and act upon the event data collected in CloudTrail logs. For more information, see:

All CodeBuild actions are logged by CloudTrail and are documented in the CodeBuild API Reference. For example, calls to the CreateProject (in the AWS CLI, create-project), StartBuild (in the AWS CLI, start-project), and UpdateProject (in the AWS CLI, update-project) actions generate entries in the CloudTrail log files.

Every event or log entry contains information about who generated the request. The identity information helps you determine the following:

  • Whether the request was made with root or user credentials.

  • Whether the request was made with temporary security credentials for a role or federated user.

  • Whether the request was made by another AWS service.
