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