Synopsis

Calls the AWS CloudTrail PutInsightSelectors API operation.

Syntax

Write-CTInsightSelector
-TrailName <String>
-EventDataStore <String>
-InsightsDestination <String>
-InsightSelector <InsightSelector[]>
-Select <String>
-Force <SwitchParameter>
-ClientConfig <AmazonCloudTrailConfig>

Description

Lets you enable Insights event logging on specific event categories by specifying the Insights selectors that you want to enable on an existing trail or event data store. You also use PutInsightSelectors to turn off Insights event logging, by passing an empty list of Insights types. The valid Insights event types are ApiErrorRateInsight and ApiCallRateInsight, and valid EventCategories are Management and Data. Insights on data events are not supported on event data stores. For event data stores, you can only enable Insights on management events. To enable Insights on an event data store, you must specify the ARNs (or ID suffix of the ARNs) for the source event data store (EventDataStore) and the destination event data store (InsightsDestination). The source event data store logs management events and enables Insights. The destination event data store logs Insights events based upon the management event activity of the source event data store. The source and destination event data stores must belong to the same Amazon Web Services account. To log Insights events for a trail, you must specify the name (TrailName) of the CloudTrail trail for which you want to change or add Insights selectors.
  • For Management events Insights: To log CloudTrail Insights on the API call rate, the trail or event data store must log write management events. To log CloudTrail Insights on the API error rate, the trail or event data store must log read or write management events.
  • For Data events Insights: To log CloudTrail Insights on the API call rate or API error rate, the trail must log read or write data events. Data events Insights are not supported on event data store.
To log CloudTrail Insights events on API call volume, the trail or event data store must log write management events. To log CloudTrail Insights events on API error rate, the trail or event data store must log read or write management events. You can call GetEventSelectors on a trail to check whether the trail logs management events. You can call GetEventDataStore on an event data store to check whether the event data store logs management events. For more information, see Working with CloudTrail Insights in the CloudTrail User Guide.

Parameters

-ClientConfig <AmazonCloudTrailConfig>
Amazon.PowerShell.Cmdlets.CT.AmazonCloudTrailClientCmdlet.ClientConfig
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-EventDataStore <String>
The ARN (or ID suffix of the ARN) of the source event data store for which you want to change or add Insights selectors. To enable Insights on an event data store, you must provide both the EventDataStore and InsightsDestination parameters.You cannot use this parameter with the TrailName parameter.
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)
-InsightsDestination <String>
The ARN (or ID suffix of the ARN) of the destination event data store that logs Insights events. To enable Insights on an event data store, you must provide both the EventDataStore and InsightsDestination parameters. You cannot use this parameter with the TrailName parameter.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-InsightSelector <InsightSelector[]>
Contains the Insights types you want to log on a specific category of events on a trail or event data store. ApiCallRateInsight and ApiErrorRateInsight are valid Insight types.The EventCategory field can specify Management or Data events or both. For event data store, you can log Insights for management events only.The ApiCallRateInsight Insights type analyzes write-only management API calls or read and write data API calls that are aggregated per minute against a baseline API call volume.The ApiErrorRateInsight Insights type analyzes management and data API calls that result in error codes. The error is shown if the API call is unsuccessful. 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?True
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesInsightSelectors
-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.PutInsightSelectorsResponse). Specifying the name of a property of type Amazon.CloudTrail.Model.PutInsightSelectorsResponse 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)
-TrailName <String>
The name of the CloudTrail trail for which you want to change or add Insights selectors.You cannot use this parameter with the EventDataStore and InsightsDestination parameters.
Required?False
Position?1
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, 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.
