AWS CloudTrail Enhances Event History View and Search

Posted on: Dec 12, 2017

You can now use AWS CloudTrail event history console page to view, search, and download the past 90 days of your account activity. You can also customize the display of columns to improve the view of your CloudTrail events.  

Search time range expanded – The AWS CloudTrail console and AWS CLI now provide 90 days’ worth of activity, up from the previous limit of 7 days. This allows you to search a greater time range of activity recorded by CloudTrail and provides visibility into actions taken in your account through the AWS Management Console, SDK's, and AWS CLI. You can download a file with the full 90 days of activity, or a subset of those activities. Please visit CloudTrail documentation page for more information. 

Event history adds customizable display – The CloudTrail console event history page now allows you to customize what columns are displayed in the console view. You can choose which columns to show or hide in your personalized view of event history, to better help you see the information most important to you at a glance. For more information, see the AWS CloudTrail documentation.  

These enhancements to the AWS CloudTrail console event history page and AWS CLI are available in all AWS public regions, as well as the AWS GovCloud (US) Region, the China (Beijing) Region, and the China (Ningxia) Region. Please visit here to see the full list of supported regions.
