ScheduleKeyDeletion

Focus mode
ScheduleKeyDeletion - AWS Key Management Service

These examples show AWS CloudTrail log entries for the ScheduleKeyDeletion operation.

For an example of the CloudTrail log entry that is written when the key is deleted, see DeleteKey. For information about deleting AWS KMS keys, see Delete an AWS KMS key.

The following example records a ScheduleKeyDeletion request for a single-Region KMS key.

{ "eventVersion": "1.08", "userIdentity": { "type": "IAMUser", "principalId": "EX_PRINCIPAL_ID", "arn": "arn:aws:iam::111122223333:user/Alice", "accountId": "111122223333", "accessKeyId": "EXAMPLE_KEY_ID", "userName": "Alice" }, "eventTime": "2021-03-23T18:58:30Z", "eventSource": "kms.amazonaws.com", "eventName": "ScheduleKeyDeletion", "awsRegion": "us-east-1", "sourceIPAddress": "192.0.2.0", "userAgent": "AWS Internal", "requestParameters": { "pendingWindowInDays": 20, "keyId": "1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab" }, "responseElements": { "keyId": "arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:111122223333:key/1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab", "keyState": "PendingDeletion", "deletionDate": "Apr 12, 2021 18:58:30 PM" }, "requestID": "ee408f36-ea01-422b-ac14-b0f147c68334", "eventID": "3c4226b0-1e81-48a8-a333-7fa5f3cbd118", "readOnly": false, "resources": [ { "accountId": "111122223333", "type": "AWS::KMS::Key", "ARN": "arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:111122223333:key/1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab" } ], "eventType": "AwsApiCall", "recipientAccountId": "111122223333" }

The following example records a ScheduleKeyDeletion request for a multi-Region KMS key with replica keys.

Because AWS KMS won't delete a multi-Region key until all of its replica keys are deleted, in the responseElements field, the keyState is PendingReplicaDeletion and the deletionDate field is omitted.

{ "eventVersion": "1.08", "userIdentity": { "type": "IAMUser", "principalId": "EX_PRINCIPAL_ID", "arn": "arn:aws:iam::111122223333:user/Alice", "accountId": "111122223333", "accessKeyId": "EXAMPLE_KEY_ID", "userName": "Alice" }, "eventTime": "2021-10-28T17:59:05Z", "eventSource": "kms.amazonaws.com", "eventName": "ScheduleKeyDeletion", "awsRegion": "us-west-2", "sourceIPAddress": "192.0.2.0", "userAgent": "AWS Internal", "requestParameters": { "pendingWindowInDays": 30, "keyId": "mrk-1234abcd12ab34cd56ef1234567890ab" }, "responseElements": { "keyId": "arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:111122223333:key/mrk-1234abcd12ab34cd56ef1234567890ab", "keyState": "PendingReplicaDeletion", "pendingWindowInDays": 30 }, "requestID": "12341411-d846-42a6-a476-b1cbe3011f89", "eventID": "abcda5f-396d-494c-9380-0c47860df5f1", "readOnly": false, "resources": [ { "accountId": "111122223333", "type": "AWS::KMS::Key", "ARN": "arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:111122223333:key/mrk-1234abcd12ab34cd56ef1234567890ab" } ], "eventType": "AwsApiCall", "managementEvent": true, "recipientAccountId": "111122223333", "eventCategory": "Management" }

The following example records a ScheduleKeyDeletion request for a KMS key in an AWS CloudHSM custom key store.
