How to create a trail in AWS

Question

Hi Team,

I have created a web service in AWS. I want to record the API activity of the web service using the Cloud Trail service. Can anyone tell me, how can I create the Trail in AWS using the CLI command?

Hi@akhtar,

You can create a trail that specifies the settings for delivery of log data to an Amazon S3 bucket. The following create-trail command creates a multi-region trail named Trail1 and specifies an S3 bucket.

$ aws cloudtrail create-trail --name Trail1 --s3-bucket-name my-bucket --is-multi-region-trail
