PutInsightSelectors

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 PutInsightSelectors 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 AWS 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 GetEventSelectors on a trail to check whether the trail logs management events. You can call GetEventDataStore 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 AWS CloudTrail User Guide.

Request Parameters

For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see Common Parameters.

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

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.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 3. Maximum length of 256.

Pattern: ^[a-zA-Z0-9._/\-:]+$

Required: No

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.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 3. Maximum length of 256.

Pattern: ^[a-zA-Z0-9._/\-:]+$

Required: No

InsightSelectors

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.

Type: Array of InsightSelector objects

Required: Yes

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.

Type: String

Required: No

Response Elements

If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 response.

The following data is returned in JSON format by the service.

EventDataStoreArn

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the source event data store for which you want to change or add Insights selectors.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 3. Maximum length of 256.

Pattern: ^[a-zA-Z0-9._/\-:]+$

InsightsDestination

The ARN of the destination event data store that logs Insights events.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 3. Maximum length of 256.

Pattern: ^[a-zA-Z0-9._/\-:]+$

InsightSelectors

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

Type: Array of InsightSelector objects

TrailARN

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of a trail for which you want to change or add Insights selectors.

Type: String

Errors

For information about the errors that are common to all actions, see Common Errors.

CloudTrailARNInvalidException

This exception is thrown when an operation is called with an ARN that is not valid.

The following is the format of a trail ARN: arn:aws:cloudtrail:us-east-2:123456789012:trail/MyTrail

The following is the format of an event data store ARN: arn:aws:cloudtrail:us-east-2:123456789012:eventdatastore/EXAMPLE-f852-4e8f-8bd1-bcf6cEXAMPLE

The following is the format of a dashboard ARN: arn:aws:cloudtrail:us-east-1:123456789012:dashboard/exampleDash

The following is the format of a channel ARN: arn:aws:cloudtrail:us-east-2:123456789012:channel/01234567890

HTTP Status Code: 400

InsufficientEncryptionPolicyException

For the CreateTrail PutInsightSelectors, UpdateTrail, StartQuery, and StartImport operations, this exception is thrown when the policy on the S3 bucket or AWS KMS key does not have sufficient permissions for the operation.

For all other operations, this exception is thrown when the policy for the AWS KMS key does not have sufficient permissions for the operation.

HTTP Status Code: 400

InsufficientS3BucketPolicyException

This exception is thrown when the policy on the S3 bucket is not sufficient.

HTTP Status Code: 400

InvalidHomeRegionException

This exception is thrown when an operation is called on a trail from a Region other than the Region in which the trail was created.

HTTP Status Code: 400

InvalidInsightSelectorsException

For PutInsightSelectors, this exception is thrown when the formatting or syntax of the InsightSelectors JSON statement is not valid, or the specified InsightType in the InsightSelectors statement is not valid. Valid values for InsightType are ApiCallRateInsight and ApiErrorRateInsight. To enable Insights on an event data store, the destination event data store specified by the InsightsDestination parameter must log Insights events and the source event data store specified by the EventDataStore parameter must log management events.

For UpdateEventDataStore, this exception is thrown if Insights are enabled on the event data store and the updated advanced event selectors are not compatible with the configured InsightSelectors. If the InsightSelectors includes an InsightType of ApiCallRateInsight, the source event data store must log write management events. If the InsightSelectors includes an InsightType of ApiErrorRateInsight, the source event data store must log management events.

HTTP Status Code: 400
