Description

Creates a custom dashboard or the Highlights dashboard.
  • Custom dashboards - Custom dashboards allow you to query events in any event data store type. You can add up to 10 widgets to a custom dashboard. You can manually refresh a custom dashboard, or you can set a refresh schedule.
  • Highlights dashboard - You can create the Highlights dashboard to see a summary of key user activities and API usage across all your event data stores. CloudTrail Lake manages the Highlights dashboard and refreshes the dashboard every 6 hours. To create the Highlights dashboard, you must set and enable a refresh schedule.
CloudTrail runs queries to populate the dashboard's widgets during a manual or scheduled refresh. CloudTrail must be granted permissions to run the StartQuery operation on your behalf. To provide permissions, run the PutResourcePolicy operation to attach a resource-based policy to each event data store. For more information, see Example: Allow CloudTrail to run queries to populate a dashboard in the CloudTrail User Guide. To set a refresh schedule, CloudTrail must be granted permissions to run the StartDashboardRefresh operation to refresh the dashboard on your behalf. To provide permissions, run the PutResourcePolicy operation to attach a resource-based policy to the dashboard. For more information, see Resource-based policy example for a dashboard in the CloudTrail User Guide. For more information about dashboards, see CloudTrail Lake dashboards in the CloudTrail User Guide.

Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesRefreshSchedule_Frequency_Unit
-Frequency_Value <Int32>
The value for the refresh schedule. For custom dashboards, the following values are valid when the unit is HOURS: 1, 6, 12, 24For custom dashboards, the only valid value when the unit is DAYS is 1.For the Highlights dashboard, the Value must be 6.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesRefreshSchedule_Frequency_Value
-Name <String>
The name of the dashboard. The name must be unique to your account. To create the Highlights dashboard, the name must be AWSCloudTrail-Highlights.
Required?True
Position?1
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-RefreshSchedule_Status <RefreshScheduleStatus>
Specifies whether the refresh schedule is enabled. Set the value to ENABLED to enable the refresh schedule, or to DISABLED to turn off the refresh schedule.
Required?False

Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-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.CreateDashboardResponse). Specifying the name of a property of type Amazon.CloudTrail.Model.CreateDashboardResponse 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

-TagsList <Tag[]>
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?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-TerminationProtectionEnabled <Boolean>
