Starting today, customers can view AWS CloudTrail event logs of a change request using AWS Systems Manager Change Manager. The feature helps customers understand which resources were impacted by the change request which provides customers with more visibility into the change request process. Change Manager already helps customers request, approve, implement, and report on operational changes to their application configuration and infrastructure on AWS and on-premises. With this launch, customers can now get the CloudTrail events associated with the change requests within the Change Manager console which offers them more visibility into their changes. For example, if a change was made to restart an EC2 instance, customers can now see which instances were actually impacted as part of the execution and the APIs that were invoked.
To get started, choose Change Manager from the AWS Systems Manager console in the left navigation menu to create a change request. After the change request is completed, the associated CloudTrail events are automatically displayed under the change request.
This new feature is available in all AWS Regions where Systems Manager is offered. For more details about this feature, see our documentation. To learn more about AWS Systems Manager Change Manager, see our documentation and pricing page.
