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 Working with CloudTrail Insights 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
andInsightsDestination
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
andInsightsDestination
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
andApiErrorRateInsight
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
andInsightsDestination
parameters.Type: String
Required: No
