Logging Timestream for LiveAnalytics API calls with Amazon CloudTrail
Timestream for LiveAnalytics 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 LiveAnalytics. CloudTrail captures Data Definition Language (DDL) API calls for Timestream for LiveAnalytics as events. The calls that are captured include calls from the Timestream for LiveAnalytics console and code calls to the Timestream for LiveAnalytics 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 LiveAnalytics. 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 LiveAnalytics, 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.

Warning
Currently, Timestream for LiveAnalytics generates CloudTrail events for all management and Query API operations,
but does not generate events for WriteRecords and DescribeEndpoints APIs.
For an ongoing record of events in your Amazon account, including events for Timestream for LiveAnalytics, 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 topics in the Amazon CloudTrail User Guide:
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 Amazon Identity and Access Management (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
For more information, see the CloudTrail userIdentity Element.
