Operation

create_dashboard async

create_dashboard(input: CreateDashboardInput, plugins: list[Plugin] | None = None) -> CreateDashboardOutput

Creates a custom dashboard or the Highlights dashboard.

  • Custom dashboards - Custom dashboards allow you to query events in any event data store type. You can add up to 10 widgets to a custom dashboard. You can manually refresh a custom dashboard, or you can set a refresh schedule.

  • Highlights dashboard - You can create the Highlights dashboard to see a summary of key user activities and API usage across all your event data stores. CloudTrail Lake manages the Highlights dashboard and refreshes the dashboard every 6 hours. To create the Highlights dashboard, you must set and enable a refresh schedule.

CloudTrail runs queries to populate the dashboard's widgets during a manual or scheduled refresh. CloudTrail must be granted permissions to run the StartQuery operation on your behalf. To provide permissions, run the PutResourcePolicy operation to attach a resource-based policy to each event data store. For more information, see Example: Allow CloudTrail to run queries to populate a dashboard in the CloudTrail User Guide.

To set a refresh schedule, CloudTrail must be granted permissions to run the StartDashboardRefresh operation to refresh the dashboard on your behalf. To provide permissions, run the PutResourcePolicy operation to attach a resource-based policy to the dashboard. For more information, see Resource-based policy example for a dashboard in the CloudTrail User Guide.

For more information about dashboards, see CloudTrail Lake dashboards in the CloudTrail User Guide.
