Description

AWS SDK for JavaScript CloudTrail Client for Node.js, Browser and React Native.

<fullname>CloudTrail</fullname>

This is the CloudTrail API Reference. It provides descriptions of actions, data types, common parameters, and common errors for CloudTrail. CloudTrail is a web service that records Amazon Web Services API calls for your Amazon Web Services account and delivers log files to an Amazon S3 bucket. The recorded information includes the identity of the user, the start time of the Amazon Web Services API call, the source IP address, the request parameters, and the response elements returned by the service. <note> As an alternative to the API, you can use one of the Amazon Web Services SDKs, which consist of libraries and sample code for various programming languages and platforms (Java, Ruby, .NET, iOS, Android, etc.). The SDKs provide programmatic access to CloudTrail. For example, the SDKs handle cryptographically signing requests, managing errors, and retrying requests automatically. For more information about the Amazon Web Services SDKs, including how to download and install them, see <a href="http://aws.amazon.com/tools/">Tools to Build on Amazon Web Services</a>. </note> See the <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/cloudtrail-user-guide.html">CloudTrail User Guide</a> for information about the data that is included with each Amazon Web Services API call listed in the log files.

Installing

To install this package, use the CLI of your favorite package manager:

npm install @aws-sdk/client-cloudtrail
yarn add @aws-sdk/client-cloudtrail
pnpm add @aws-sdk/client-cloudtrail

Getting Started

Import

The AWS SDK is modulized by clients and commands. To send a request, you only need to import the CloudTrailClient and the commands you need, for example ListImportsCommand:

// ES5 example
const { CloudTrailClient, ListImportsCommand } = require("@aws-sdk/client-cloudtrail");

// ES6+ example
import { CloudTrailClient, ListImportsCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-cloudtrail";

Usage

To send a request:

Instantiate a client with configuration (e.g. credentials, region).
- See docs/CLIENTS for configuration details.
- See @aws-sdk/config for additional options.
Instantiate a command with input parameters.
Call the send operation on the client, providing the command object as input.

const client = new CloudTrailClient({ region: "REGION" });

const params = { /** input parameters */ };
const command = new ListImportsCommand(params);

Async/await

We recommend using the await operator to wait for the promise returned by send operation as follows:

// async/await.
try {
  const data = await client.send(command);
  // process data.
} catch (error) {
  // error handling.
} finally {
  // finally.
}

Promises

You can also use Promise chaining.

client
  .send(command)
  .then((data) => {
    // process data.
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    // error handling.
  })
  .finally(() => {
    // finally.
  });

Aggregated client

The aggregated client class is exported from the same package, but without the "Client" suffix.

CloudTrail extends CloudTrailClient and additionally supports all operations, waiters, and paginators as methods. This style may be familiar to you from the AWS SDK for JavaScript v2.

If you are bundling the AWS SDK, we recommend using only the bare-bones client (CloudTrailClient). More details are in the blog post on modular packages in AWS SDK for JavaScript.

import { CloudTrail } from "@aws-sdk/client-cloudtrail";

const client = new CloudTrail({ region: "REGION" });

// async/await.
try {
  const data = await client.listImports(params);
  // process data.
} catch (error) {
  // error handling.
}

// Promises.
client
  .listImports(params)
  .then((data) => {
    // process data.
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    // error handling.
  });

// callbacks (not recommended).
client.listImports(params, (err, data) => {
  // process err and data.
});

Troubleshooting

When the service returns an exception, the error will include the exception information, as well as response metadata (e.g. request id).

try {
  const data = await client.send(command);
  // process data.
} catch (error) {
  const { requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId } = error.$metadata;
  console.log({ requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId });
  /**
   * The keys within exceptions are also parsed.
   * You can access them by specifying exception names:
   * if (error.name === 'SomeServiceException') {
   *     const value = error.specialKeyInException;
   * }
   */
}
