Question 19293 in Amazon Web Sevices Question posted in
The official Amazon Web Services documentation can be found here.

Filter out certain events from CloudTrail

My ultimate goal is to build an workflow whereby we can collect Quicksight related events and then visualize them in Quicksight itself (basically to see dashboard/user usage). This is all helpfully described on the AWS Blog (https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/big-data/building-an-administrative-console-in-amazon-quicksight-to-analyze-usage-metrics/)

My question is around how I can create a Trail that only streams Quicksight related events to S3. If I create a trail and select data events, I’m getting all kinds of events that I don’t care about. Is there a way to create a trail for just the Quicksight service or any alternative route to not clog up S3 with logs I don’t need?

    You can probably configure the CloudTrail data event source to be Quicksight.

    See "Logging data events with basic event selectors in the AWS Management Console" in this guide

    Either create a trail with custom event selector using cli,try put-event-selectors command to specify the event source as QuickSight.

    Or you can try Querying AWS CloudTrail logs via athena https://docs.aws.amazon.com/athena/latest/ug/cloudtrail-logs.html
