AWS CloudTrail
With AWS CloudTrail, you can monitor your AWS deployments in the cloud by getting a history of AWS API calls for your account, including API calls made via the AWS Management Console, the AWS SDKs, the command line tools, and higher-level AWS services. You can also identify which users and accounts called AWS APIs for services that support CloudTrail, the source IP address the calls were made from, and when the calls occurred. You can integrate CloudTrail into applications using the API, automate trail creation for your organization, check the status of your trails, and control how administrators turn CloudTrail logging on and off.
The following list details the differences for using this service in AWS GovCloud (US) Regions compared to other AWS Regions:
-
For all AWS GovCloud (US) accounts created after 12/15/2014, AWS CloudTrail event log delivery to Amazon S3 is enabled automatically. However, you must set up Amazon SNS notifications. You can turn off logging through the AWS CloudTrail console for the AWS GovCloud (US) Region.
-
If you are using AWS Direct Connect, you must enable CloudTrail in your standard AWS account (not your AWS GovCloud (US) account) and enable logging.
-
The Amazon S3 and Amazon SNS policy statements must refer to the ARN for AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. For more information, see Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) in GovCloud (US) Regions.
-
To enable CloudTrail to write log files to your bucket in AWS GovCloud (US) Regions, you can use the following policy.
Warning
If the bucket already has one or more policies attached, add the statements for CloudTrail access to that policy or policies. We recommend that you evaluate the resulting set of permissions to be sure they are appropriate for the users who will be accessing the bucket.
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "AWSCloudTrailAclCheck20131101", "Effect": "Allow", "Principal": { "Service": "cloudtrail.amazonaws.com" }, "Action": "s3:GetBucketAcl", "Resource": "arn:aws-us-gov:s3:::myBucketName" }, { "Sid": "AWSCloudTrailWrite20131101", "Effect": "Allow", "Principal": { "Service": "cloudtrail.amazonaws.com" }, "Action": "s3:PutObject", "Resource": "arn:aws-us-gov:s3:::myBucketName/[optional] prefix/AWSLogs/myAccountID/*", "Condition": { "StringEquals": { "s3:x-amz-acl": "bucket-owner-full-control" } } } ] }For more information, see Amazon S3 Bucket Policy and Permissions for SNS Notifications.
Note
In AWS GovCloud (US) Regions, do not add CloudTrail account IDs of non-isolated regions to your policy templates, or an "Invalid principal in policy" error will occur. Similarly, if you are in a non-isolated region, do not add the CloudTrail account ID for AWS GovCloud (US) to your policy templates.
For more information about CloudTrail, see the CloudTrail documentation.
