Enabling audit logging - Amazon Redshift
Enabling audit logging using the console

Amazon Redshift will no longer support the use of Python UDFs after June 30, 2026. We will start enforcing it in phases. For more information on the details of Python end of life and migration options, see the blog post that was published on June 30, 2025.

Enabling audit logging

Configure Amazon Redshift to export audit log data. Logs can be exported to CloudWatch, or as files to Amazon S3 buckets.

Enabling audit logging using the console

To enable audit logging for a cluster

  1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon Redshift console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/redshiftv2/.

  2. On the navigation menu, choose Clusters, then choose the cluster that you want to update.

  3. Choose the Properties tab. On the Database configurations panel, choose Edit, then Edit audit logging.

  4. On the Edit audit logging page, choose Turn on and select S3 bucket or CloudWatch. We recommend using CloudWatch because administration is easy and it has helpful features for data visualization.

  5. Choose which logs to export.

  6. To save your choices, choose Save changes.
