Description

Creates a new event data store.

Parameters

-AdvancedEventSelector <AdvancedEventSelector[]>
The advanced event selectors to use to select the events for the data store. You can configure up to five advanced event selectors for each event data store. For more information about how to use advanced event selectors to log CloudTrail events, see Log events by using advanced event selectors in the CloudTrail User Guide.For more information about how to use advanced event selectors to include Config configuration items in your event data store, see Create an event data store for Config configuration items in the CloudTrail User Guide.For more information about how to use advanced event selectors to include non-Amazon Web Services events in your event data store, see Create an integration to log events from outside Amazon Web Services in the CloudTrail User Guide.

-BillingMode <BillingMode>
The billing mode for the event data store determines the cost for ingesting events and the default and maximum retention period for the event data store.The following are the possible values:
  • EXTENDABLE_RETENTION_PRICING - This billing mode is generally recommended if you want a flexible retention period of up to 3653 days (about 10 years). The default retention period for this billing mode is 366 days.
  • FIXED_RETENTION_PRICING - This billing mode is recommended if you expect to ingest more than 25 TB of event data per month and need a retention period of up to 2557 days (about 7 years). The default retention period for this billing mode is 2557 days.
The default value is EXTENDABLE_RETENTION_PRICING.For more information about CloudTrail pricing, see CloudTrail Pricing and Managing CloudTrail Lake costs.

-KmsKeyId <String>
Specifies the KMS key ID to use to encrypt the events delivered by CloudTrail. The value can be an alias name prefixed by alias/, a fully specified ARN to an alias, a fully specified ARN to a key, or a globally unique identifier.Disabling or deleting the KMS key, or removing CloudTrail permissions on the key, prevents CloudTrail from logging events to the event data store, and prevents users from querying the data in the event data store that was encrypted with the key. After you associate an event data store with a KMS key, the KMS key cannot be removed or changed. Before you disable or delete a KMS key that you are using with an event data store, delete or back up your event data store.CloudTrail also supports KMS multi-Region keys. For more information about multi-Region keys, see Using multi-Region keys in the Key Management Service Developer Guide.Examples:
  • alias/MyAliasName
  • arn:aws:kms:us-east-2:123456789012:alias/MyAliasName
  • arn:aws:kms:us-east-2:123456789012:key/12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012

Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-RetentionPeriod <Int32>
The retention period of the event data store, in days. If BillingMode is set to EXTENDABLE_RETENTION_PRICING, you can set a retention period of up to 3653 days, the equivalent of 10 years. If BillingMode is set to FIXED_RETENTION_PRICING, you can set a retention period of up to 2557 days, the equivalent of seven years.CloudTrail Lake determines whether to retain an event by checking if the eventTime of the event is within the specified retention period. For example, if you set a retention period of 90 days, CloudTrail will remove events when the eventTime is older than 90 days.If you plan to copy trail events to this event data store, we recommend that you consider both the age of the events that you want to copy as well as how long you want to keep the copied events in your event data store. For example, if you copy trail events that are 5 years old and specify a retention period of 7 years, the event data store will retain those events for two years.

-Select <String>
Use the -Select parameter to control the cmdlet output. The default value is '*'. Specifying -Select '*' will result in the cmdlet returning the whole service response (Amazon.CloudTrail.Model.CreateEventDataStoreResponse). Specifying the name of a property of type Amazon.CloudTrail.Model.CreateEventDataStoreResponse will result in that property being returned. Specifying -Select '^ParameterName' will result in the cmdlet returning the selected cmdlet parameter value.

-EndpointUrl <String>
The endpoint to make the call against.Note: This parameter is primarily for internal AWS use and is not required/should not be specified for normal usage.

-NetworkCredential <PSCredential>

Used to specify the name and location of the ini-format credential file (shared with the AWS CLI and other AWS SDKs)If this optional parameter is omitted this cmdlet will search the encrypted credential file used by the AWS SDK for .NET and AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio first. If the profile is not found then the cmdlet will search in the ini-format credential file at the default location: (user's home directory)\.aws\credentials.If this parameter is specified then this cmdlet will only search the ini-format credential file at the location given.As the current folder can vary in a shell or during script execution it is advised that you use specify a fully qualified path instead of a relative path.
