Amazon Keyspaces (for Apache Cassandra) is a scalable, serverless, highly available, and fully managed Apache Cassandra-compatible database service that offers 99.999% availability. Today, Amazon Keyspaces added query auditing support for Keyspaces Data Manipulation Language (DML) operations with AWS CloudTrail. 

With DML auditing, you can set up auditing for database operations such as INSERT, UPDATE, SELECT, DELETE, and more. You can now quickly determine which rows were created, read, updated, or deleted and identify the source of the calls. For robust monitoring and alerting, you can also integrate AWS CloudTrail events with Amazon CloudWatch Logs. You can also use AWS CloudTrail advanced event selectors for more granular control of which DML events you want to log from Amazon Keyspaces. 

DML auditing is available in all AWS Regions where AWS offers Amazon Keyspaces. For more information, see our documentation. If you are new to Amazon Keyspaces, the getting started guide will show you how to quickly provision a keyspace and explore the query capabilities and scaling capabilities of Amazon Keyspaces.
