# Amazon Batch information in CloudTrail
<a name="service-name-info-in-cloudtrail"></a>

CloudTrail is enabled on your Amazon account when you create the account. When activity occurs in Amazon Batch, that activity is recorded in a CloudTrail event along with other Amazon service events in **Event history**. You can view, search, and download recent events in your Amazon account. For more information, see [Viewing Events with CloudTrail Event History](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/view-cloudtrail-events.html).

For an ongoing record of events in your Amazon account, including events for Amazon Batch, create a trail. A *trail* enables CloudTrail to deliver log files to an Amazon S3 bucket. By default, when you create a trail in the console, the trail applies to all Amazon Regions. The trail logs events from all Regions in the Amazon partition and delivers the log files to the Amazon S3 bucket that you specify. Additionally, you can configure other Amazon services to further analyze and act upon the event data collected in CloudTrail logs. For more information, see the following:
+ [Overview for Creating a Trail](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/cloudtrail-create-and-update-a-trail.html)
+ [CloudTrail Supported Services and Integrations](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/cloudtrail-aws-service-specific-topics.html#cloudtrail-aws-service-specific-topics-integrations)
+ [Configuring Amazon SNS Notifications for CloudTrail](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/getting_notifications_top_level.html)
+ [Receiving CloudTrail Log Files from Multiple Regions](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/receive-cloudtrail-log-files-from-multiple-regions.html) and [Receiving CloudTrail Log Files from Multiple Accounts](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/cloudtrail-receive-logs-from-multiple-accounts.html)

All Amazon Batch actions are logged by CloudTrail and are documented in the https://docs.amazonaws.cn/batch/latest/APIReference/. For example, calls to the `[SubmitJob](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/batch/latest/APIReference/API_SubmitJob.html)`, `[ListJobs](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/batch/latest/APIReference/API_ListJobs.html)` and `[DescribeJobs](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/batch/latest/APIReference/API_DescribeJobs.html)` sections generate entries in the CloudTrail log files.

Every event or log entry contains information about who generated the request. The identity information helps you determine the following:
+ Whether the request was made with root or IAM user credentials.
+ Whether the request was made with temporary security credentials for a role or federated user.
+ Whether the request was made by another Amazon service.
