CloudTrail Lookup Events

Looks up management events or CloudTrail Insights events that are captured by CloudTrail. You can look up events that occurred in a region within the last 90 days. Lookup supports the following attributes for management events:

• Amazon Web Services access key

• Event ID

• Event name

• Event source

• Read only

• Resource name

• Resource type

• User name

Lookup supports the following attributes for Insights events:

• Event ID

• Event name

• Event source

All attributes are optional. The default number of results returned is 50, with a maximum of 50 possible. The response includes a token that you can use to get the next page of results.

note

The rate of lookup requests is limited to two per second, per account, per region. If this limit is exceeded, a throttling error occurs.

Basic Parameters

Parameter	Description
AWS Region(s)	Enter the desired AWS Region(s). To execute the action in multiple regions, provide a comma-separated list. For example: us-east-1,eu-west-2. If you wish to run the action in all available regions, use the asterisk symbol (*) instead.
End Time	Specifies that only events that occur before or at the specified time are returned. If the specified end time is before the specified start time, an error is returned.
Event Category	Specifies the event category. If you do not specify an event category, events of the category are not returned in the response. For example, if you do not specify insight as the value of EventCategory, no Insights events are returned.
Lookup Attributes	Contains a list of lookup attributes. Currently the list can contain only one item.
Start Time	Specifies that only events that occur after or at the specified time are returned. If the specified start time is after the specified end time, an error is returned.

Advanced Parameters

Parameter	Description
Disable XML To JSON Auto Convert	When checked, XML responses are not automatically converted into JSON format.
Max Results	The number of events to return. Possible values are 1 through 50. The default is 50.
Next Token	The token to use to get the next page of results after a previous API call. This token must be passed in with the same parameters that were specified in the the original call. For example, if the original call specified an AttributeKey of 'Username' with a value of 'root', the call with NextToken should include those same parameters.
