Monitoring Neptune Analytics
To ensure robust monitoring and analysis of Neptune Analytics usage, it is integrated with AWS CloudTrail, a service that records all API calls made to the Neptune Analytics service. By capturing these API calls, CloudTrail provides a detailed audit trail that can be used to understand who is accessing the service, what actions they are taking, and from where they are making those requests. This data can then be further analyzed using tools like Amazon CloudWatch and Amazon Athena to identify trends, anomalies, and other insights about the usage of Neptune Analytics within an organization.
Logging Neptune Analytics API calls using AWS CloudTrail
Neptune Analytics is integrated with AWS CloudTrail, a service that provides a record of actions taken by a user, role, or an AWS service in Neptune Analytics. CloudTrail captures all API calls for Neptune Analytics as events. The calls captured include calls from the Neptune Analytics console and code calls to the Neptune Analytics API operations. If you create a trail, you can enable continuous delivery of CloudTrail events to an Amazon S3 bucket, including events for Neptune Analytics. If you don't configure a trail, you can still view the most recent management events in the CloudTrail console in the Event history section. Using the information collected by CloudTrail, you can determine the request that was made to Neptune Analytics, the IP address from which the request was made, who made the request, when it was made, and additional details.
For robust monitoring and alerting, you can also integrate CloudTrail events with Amazon CloudWatch logs. To enhance your analysis of Neptune Analytics service activity and identify changes in activities for an AWS account, you can query AWS CloudTrail logs using Amazon Athena. For example, you can use queries to identify trends and further isolate activity by attributes such as source IP address or user.
To learn more about CloudTrail, including how to configure and enable it, see the AWS CloudTrail user guide.
