AWS CloudTrails Without Object-level Events Logging Enabled

What It Does

This policy template reports any AWS CloudTrail trails that do not have object-level events logging enabled. Optionally, it emails this report.

S3 object-level API operations such as GetObject, DeleteObject, and PutObject are called data events. By default, CloudTrail trails don't log data events and so it is recommended to enable Object-level logging for S3 buckets used by CloudTrail.

Input Parameters

It only needs to be passed when the desired AWS account is different than the one associated with the Flexera One credential. More information is available in our documentation.
