Track which actions get recorded in CloudTrail #5

Could use an IAM role with zero permissions, so no costs are incurred. Though I think some services might only record successful API calls. We should also compare results to any public docs from AWS

Seems there's some potentially interesting stuff available in the CloudTrail web console UI.

Here's a JSON dump of some stuff: https://gist.github.com/aidansteele/bc5138da10ce2d664c4b66a5aeaa3104

This was accessed from https://ap-southeast-2.console.aws.amazon.com/cloudtrail/home using this query console.log(JSON.stringify($("#preload").data()))

aidansteele commented 5 years ago

Which services just have numeric IPs in CT logs
Which services have reliable user agents
Which services record VPC endpoint usage
Which services use service-linked roles
Which use regular roles
which don’t even use roles

Oh nice, thanks for the pointer @0xdabbad00!

Do you happen to recall if there are APIs where only successful invocations are recorded? Or am I imagining that?

0xdabbad00 commented 5 years ago

There are a lot of failure situations that don't make it to AWS, such as if your format the call incorrectly, botocore will detect the mistake before the request is sent, which means it won't be recorded (since no call arrived). I assume (but this could very likely be wrong) that any call that makes it to AWS and is normally recorded, will be recorded.
