Logging Amazon IoT TwinMaker API calls with Amazon CloudTrail
Amazon IoT TwinMaker is integrated with Amazon CloudTrail, a service that provides a record of actions taken by a user, role, or an Amazon service in Amazon IoT TwinMaker. CloudTrail captures API calls for Amazon IoT TwinMaker as events. The calls captured include calls from the Amazon IoT TwinMaker console and code calls to the Amazon IoT TwinMaker API operations. If you create a trail, you can enable continuous delivery of CloudTrail events to an Amazon S3 bucket, including events for Amazon IoT TwinMaker. If you don't configure a trail, you can still view the most recent events in the CloudTrail console in Event history. Using the information collected by CloudTrail, you can determine the request that was made to Amazon IoT TwinMaker, the IP address from which the request was made, who made the request, when it was made, and additional details.
For more information about CloudTrail, see the Amazon CloudTrail User Guide.
