Logging Amazon KMS requests that use a VPC endpoint

Amazon CloudTrail logs all operations that use the VPC endpoint. When a request to Amazon KMS uses a VPC endpoint, the VPC endpoint ID appears in the Amazon CloudTrail log entry that records the request. You can use the endpoint ID to audit the use of your Amazon KMS VPC endpoint.

However, your CloudTrail logs don't include operations requested by principals in other accounts or requests for Amazon KMS operations on KMS keys and aliases in other accounts. Also, to protect your VPC, requests that are denied by a VPC endpoint policy, but otherwise would have been allowed, are not recorded in Amazon CloudTrail.

For example, this sample log entry records a GenerateDataKey request that used the VPC endpoint. The vpcEndpointId field appears at the end of the log entry.
