CloudTrail Stopped

This alert occurs when Lacework detects AWS CloudTrail logging has been stopped.

Why this Alert is Important​

CloudTrail is one of the important logging sources available in AWS. CloudTrail changes can significantly impact the logs received. Any unauthorized change to CloudTrail can limit the logging capability across the AWS account, thus limiting the visibility across AWS instances. Stopping CloudTrail logging would adversely affect visibility across AWS instances.

Investigation​

Search for unauthorized changes to the CloudTrail service on the AWS instance. Revert unauthorized changes.

Resolution​

Revert unauthorized changes made to CloudTrail. Restart CloudTrail logging for the selected AWS instances.
