Monitor Events with CloudTrail

Monitor Events with CloudTrail - AWS Control Tower

AWS Control Tower configures AWS CloudTrail to enable centralized logging and auditing. With CloudTrail, the management account can review administrative actions and lifecycle events for member accounts.

CloudTrail helps you monitor your AWS environment in the cloud by keeping a history of AWS API calls for your accounts. For example, you can identify the users and accounts that called AWS APIs for services that support CloudTrail, the source IP address from which the calls were made, and the time when the calls occurred. You can integrate CloudTrail into applications using the API, automate trail creation for your organization, check the status of your trails, and control how administrators turn CloudTrail logging on and off. For more information, see AWS CloudTrail User Guide.
