Synopsis

Calls the AWS CloudTrail StartImport API operation.

Syntax

Start-CTImport
-Destination <String[]>
-EndEventTime <DateTime>
-ImportId <String>
-S3_S3BucketAccessRoleArn <String>
-S3_S3BucketRegion <String>
-S3_S3LocationUri <String>
-StartEventTime <DateTime>
-Select <String>
-Force <SwitchParameter>
-ClientConfig <AmazonCloudTrailConfig>

Description

Starts an import of logged trail events from a source S3 bucket to a destination event data store. By default, CloudTrail only imports events contained in the S3 bucket's CloudTrail prefix and the prefixes inside the CloudTrail prefix, and does not check prefixes for other Amazon Web Services services. If you want to import CloudTrail events contained in another prefix, you must include the prefix in the S3LocationUri. For more considerations about importing trail events, see Considerations for copying trail events in the CloudTrail User Guide. When you start a new import, the Destinations and ImportSource parameters are required. Before starting a new import, disable any access control lists (ACLs) attached to the source S3 bucket. For more information about disabling ACLs, see Controlling ownership of objects and disabling ACLs for your bucket. When you retry an import, the ImportID parameter is required. If the destination event data store is for an organization, you must use the management account to import trail events. You cannot use the delegated administrator account for the organization.

Parameters

-ClientConfig <AmazonCloudTrailConfig>
Amazon.PowerShell.Cmdlets.CT.AmazonCloudTrailClientCmdlet.ClientConfig
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Destination <String[]>
The ARN of the destination event data store. Use this parameter for a new import. Starting with version 4 of the SDK this property will default to null. If no data for this property is returned from the service the property will also be null. This was changed to improve performance and allow the SDK and caller to distinguish between a property not set or a property being empty to clear out a value. To retain the previous SDK behavior set the AWSConfigs.InitializeCollections static property to true.
Required?False
Position?1
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
AliasesDestinations
-EndEventTime <DateTime>
Use with StartEventTime to bound a StartImport request, and limit imported trail events to only those events logged within a specified time period. When you specify a time range, CloudTrail checks the prefix and log file names to verify the names contain a date between the specified StartEventTime and EndEventTime before attempting to import events.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Force <SwitchParameter>
This parameter overrides confirmation prompts to force the cmdlet to continue its operation. This parameter should always be used with caution.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-ImportId <String>
The ID of the import. Use this parameter when you are retrying an import.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-S3_S3BucketAccessRoleArn <String>
The IAM ARN role used to access the source S3 bucket.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesImportSource_S3_S3BucketAccessRoleArn
-S3_S3BucketRegion <String>
The Region associated with the source S3 bucket.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesImportSource_S3_S3BucketRegion
-S3_S3LocationUri <String>
The URI for the source S3 bucket.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesImportSource_S3_S3LocationUri
-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.StartImportResponse). Specifying the name of a property of type Amazon.CloudTrail.Model.StartImportResponse will result in that property being returned. Specifying -Select '^ParameterName' will result in the cmdlet returning the selected cmdlet parameter value.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-StartEventTime <DateTime>
Use with EndEventTime to bound a StartImport request, and limit imported trail events to only those events logged within a specified time period. When you specify a time range, CloudTrail checks the prefix and log file names to verify the names contain a date between the specified StartEventTime and EndEventTime before attempting to import events.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)

Common Credential and Region Parameters

-AccessKey <String>
The AWS access key for the user account. This can be a temporary access key if the corresponding session token is supplied to the -SessionToken parameter.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesAK
-Credential <AWSCredentials>
An AWSCredentials object instance containing access and secret key information, and optionally a token for session-based credentials.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-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. The cmdlets normally determine which endpoint to call based on the region specified to the -Region parameter or set as default in the shell (via Set-DefaultAWSRegion). Only specify this parameter if you must direct the call to a specific custom endpoint.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-NetworkCredential <PSCredential>
Used with SAML-based authentication when ProfileName references a SAML role profile. Contains the network credentials to be supplied during authentication with the configured identity provider's endpoint. This parameter is not required if the user's default network identity can or should be used during authentication.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-ProfileLocation <String>
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.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesAWSProfilesLocation, ProfilesLocation
-ProfileName <String>
The user-defined name of an AWS credentials or SAML-based role profile containing credential information. The profile is expected to be found in the secure credential file shared with the AWS SDK for .NET and AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio. You can also specify the name of a profile stored in the .ini-format credential file used with the AWS CLI and other AWS SDKs.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesStoredCredentials, AWSProfileName
-Region <Object>
The system name of an AWS region or an AWSRegion instance. This governs the endpoint that will be used when calling service operations. Note that the AWS resources referenced in a call are usually region-specific.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesRegionToCall
-SecretKey <String>
The AWS secret key for the user account. This can be a temporary secret key if the corresponding session token is supplied to the -SessionToken parameter.
Required?False
