Package cloudtrail provides the API client, operations, and parameter types for
AWS CloudTrail.
This is the CloudTrail API Reference. It provides descriptions of actions, data
types, common parameters, and common errors for CloudTrail.
CloudTrail is a web service that records Amazon Web Services API calls for your
Amazon Web Services account and delivers log files to an Amazon S3 bucket. The
recorded information includes the identity of the user, the start time of the
Amazon Web Services API call, the source IP address, the request parameters, and
the response elements returned by the service.
As an alternative to the API, you can use one of the Amazon Web Services SDKs,
which consist of libraries and sample code for various programming languages and
platforms (Java, Ruby, .NET, iOS, Android, etc.). The SDKs provide programmatic
access to CloudTrail. For example, the SDKs handle cryptographically signing
requests, managing errors, and retrying requests automatically. For more
information about the Amazon Web Services SDKs, including how to download and
install them, see Tools to Build on Amazon Web Services.
See the CloudTrail User Guide for information about the data that is included with each Amazon Web
Services API call listed in the log files.
