# Security event logging in Amazon Lake Formation
<a name="monitoring-overview"></a>

Amazon Lake Formation is integrated with Amazon CloudTrail, a service that provides a record of actions taken by a user, role, or an Amazon service in Lake Formation. CloudTrail captures all API calls for Lake Formation as events. The calls captured include calls from the Lake Formation console, the Amazon Command Line Interface, and code calls to the Lake Formation API operations. 

For more information about event logging in Lake Formation, see [Logging Amazon Lake Formation API calls using Amazon CloudTrail](logging-using-cloudtrail.md).

**Note**  
`GetTableObjects`, `UpdateTableObjects`, and `GetWorkUnitResults` are high-volume data plane operations. Calls to these APIs are not currently logged to CloudTrail. For more information about data plane operations in CloudTrail, see [Logging data events for trails](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/logging-data-events-with-cloudtrail.html) in the *Amazon CloudTrail User Guide*.  
Changes in Lake Formation to support additional CloudTrail events will be documented at [Document history for Amazon Lake Formation](doc-history.md).
