Put Insight Selectors

cloudtrail_put_insight_selectors R Documentation

Lets you enable Insights event logging by specifying the Insights selectors that you want to enable on an existing trail or event data store

Description

Lets you enable Insights event logging by specifying the Insights selectors that you want to enable on an existing trail or event data store. You also use put_insight_selectors to turn off Insights event logging, by passing an empty list of Insights types. The valid Insights event types are ApiErrorRateInsight and ApiCallRateInsight.

To enable Insights on an event data store, you must specify the ARNs (or ID suffix of the ARNs) for the source event data store (EventDataStore) and the destination event data store (InsightsDestination). The source event data store logs management events and enables Insights. The destination event data store logs Insights events based upon the management event activity of the source event data store. The source and destination event data stores must belong to the same Amazon Web Services account.

To log Insights events for a trail, you must specify the name (TrailName) of the CloudTrail trail for which you want to change or add Insights selectors.

To log CloudTrail Insights events on API call volume, the trail or event data store must log write management events. To log CloudTrail Insights events on API error rate, the trail or event data store must log read or write management events. You can call get_event_selectors on a trail to check whether the trail logs management events. You can call get_event_data_store on an event data store to check whether the event data store logs management events.

For more information, see Logging CloudTrail Insights events in the CloudTrail User Guide.

Usage

cloudtrail_put_insight_selectors(TrailName, InsightSelectors,
  EventDataStore, InsightsDestination)

Arguments

TrailName

The name of the CloudTrail trail for which you want to change or add Insights selectors.

You cannot use this parameter with the EventDataStore and InsightsDestination parameters.

InsightSelectors

[required] A JSON string that contains the Insights types you want to log on a trail or event data store. ApiCallRateInsight and ApiErrorRateInsight are valid Insight types.

The ApiCallRateInsight Insights type analyzes write-only management API calls that are aggregated per minute against a baseline API call volume.

The ApiErrorRateInsight Insights type analyzes management API calls that result in error codes. The error is shown if the API call is unsuccessful.

EventDataStore

The ARN (or ID suffix of the ARN) of the source event data store for which you want to change or add Insights selectors. To enable Insights on an event data store, you must provide both the EventDataStore and InsightsDestination parameters.

You cannot use this parameter with the TrailName parameter.

InsightsDestination

The ARN (or ID suffix of the ARN) of the destination event data store that logs Insights events. To enable Insights on an event data store, you must provide both the EventDataStore and InsightsDestination parameters.

You cannot use this parameter with the TrailName parameter.

Value

A list with the following syntax:

list(
  TrailARN = "string",
  InsightSelectors = list(
    list(
      InsightType = "ApiCallRateInsight"|"ApiErrorRateInsight"
    )
  ),
  EventDataStoreArn = "string",
  InsightsDestination = "string"
)

Request syntax

svc$put_insight_selectors(
  TrailName = "string",
  InsightSelectors = list(
    list(
      InsightType = "ApiCallRateInsight"|"ApiErrorRateInsight"
    )
  ),
  EventDataStore = "string",
  InsightsDestination = "string"
)
