AWS CloudTrail Data Service

Ingests your application events into CloudTrail Lake. A required parameter, auditEvents , accepts the JSON records (also called payload ) of events that you want CloudTrail to ingest. You can add up to 100 of these events (or up to 1 MB) per PutAuditEvents request.

    auditEvents=[
        {
            'eventData': 'string',
            'eventDataChecksum': 'string',
            'id': 'string'

param auditEvents

[REQUIRED]

The JSON payload of events that you want to ingest. You can also point to the JSON event payload in a file.

    The content of an audit event that comes from the event, such as userIdentity , userAgent , and eventSource .

  • eventDataChecksum (string) --

    A checksum is a base64-SHA256 algorithm that helps you verify that CloudTrail receives the event that matches with the checksum. Calculate the checksum by running a command like the following:

    printf %s *$eventdata* | openssl dgst -binary -sha256 | base64

  • id (string) -- [REQUIRED]

    The original event ID from the source event.
