AdvancedEventSelector - Amazon CloudTrail
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

AdvancedEventSelector

Advanced event selectors let you create fine-grained selectors for CloudTrail management and data events. They help you control costs by logging only those events that are important to you. For more information about advanced event selectors, see Logging management events and Logging data events in the Amazon CloudTrail User Guide.

You cannot apply both event selectors and advanced event selectors to a trail.
