AWS CloudTrail now logs AWS Management Console sign-in events

Posted on: Jul 24, 2014

We are excited to announce support for logging AWS Management Console sign-in events with AWS CloudTrail. Logging successful and unsuccessful console sign-in events for IAM and federated users can help you with your compliance and security efforts.

All customers who have enabled CloudTrail will now see log entries associated with these sign-in events, including the IP address of the entity signing in and whether MFA was enforced for that sign-in. In addition to logging these events, CloudTrail captures successful sign-ins by root accounts.

For more information on logging events, see the AWS CloudTrail page.
