boto
boto3
botocore
python >= 2.6

Parameters ¶

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
aws_access_key		AWS access key. If not set then the value of the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_ACCESS_KEY or EC2_ACCESS_KEY environment variable is used. aliases: ec2_access_key, access_key
aws_secret_key		AWS secret key. If not set then the value of the AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SECRET_KEY, or EC2_SECRET_KEY environment variable is used. aliases: ec2_secret_key, secret_key
cloudwatch_logs_log_group_arn (added in 2.4)		A full ARN specifying a valid CloudWatch log group to which CloudTrail logs will be delivered. The log group should already exist. See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/send-cloudtrail-events-to-cloudwatch-logs.html Required when `cloudwatch_logs_role_arn`
cloudwatch_logs_role_arn (added in 2.4)		Specifies a full ARN for an IAM role that assigns the proper permissions for CloudTrail to create and write to the log group. See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/send-cloudtrail-events-to-cloudwatch-logs.html Required when `cloudwatch_logs_log_group_arn`
ec2_url		Url to use to connect to EC2 or your Eucalyptus cloud (by default the module will use EC2 endpoints). Ignored for modules where region is required. Must be specified for all other modules if region is not used. If not set then the value of the EC2_URL environment variable, if any, is used.
enable_log_file_validation (added in 2.4)		Specifies whether log file integrity validation is enabled. CloudTrail will create a hash for every log file delivered and produce a signed digest file that can be used to ensure log files have not been tampered. aliases: log_file_validation_enabled
enable_logging (added in 2.4)	Default: yes	Start or stop the CloudTrail logging. If stopped the trail will be paused and will not record events or deliver log files.
include_global_events	Default: yes	Record API calls from global services such as IAM and STS. aliases: include_global_service_events
is_multi_region_trail (added in 2.4)	Default: no	Specify whether the trail belongs only to one region or exists in all regions.
kms_key_id (added in 2.4)		Specifies the KMS key ID to use to encrypt the logs delivered by CloudTrail. This also has the effect of enabling log file encryption. The value can be an alias name prefixed by "alias/", a fully specified ARN to an alias, a fully specified ARN to a key, or a globally unique identifier. See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/encrypting-cloudtrail-log-files-with-aws-kms.html
name required		Name for the CloudTrail. Names are unique per-region unless the CloudTrail is a multi-region trail, in which case it is unique per-account.
profile (added in 1.6)		Uses a boto profile. Only works with boto >= 2.24.0.
region		The AWS region to use. If not specified then the value of the AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION environment variable, if any, is used. See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#ec2_region aliases: aws_region, ec2_region
s3_bucket_name (added in 2.4)		An existing S3 bucket where CloudTrail will deliver log files. This bucket should exist and have the proper policy. See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/aggregating_logs_regions_bucket_policy.html Required when `state=present`
s3_key_prefix		S3 Key prefix for delivered log files. A trailing slash is not necessary and will be removed.
security_token (added in 1.6)		AWS STS security token. If not set then the value of the AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN or EC2_SECURITY_TOKEN environment variable is used. aliases: access_token
sns_topic_name (added in 2.4)		SNS Topic name to send notifications to when a log file is delivered
state required	Choices: present absent enabled disabled	Add or remove CloudTrail configuration. The following states have been preserved for backwards compatibility. `state=enabled` and `state=disabled`. enabled=present and disabled=absent.
tags (added in 2.4)	Default: {}	A hash/dictionary of tags to be applied to the CloudTrail resource. Remove completely or specify an empty dictionary to remove all tags.
validate_certs bool (added in 1.5)	Choices: no yes ←	When set to "no", SSL certificates will not be validated for boto versions >= 2.6.0.

Notes ¶

Note

If parameters are not set within the module, the following environment variables can be used in decreasing order of precedence AWS_URL or EC2_URL, AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID or AWS_ACCESS_KEY or EC2_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY or AWS_SECRET_KEY or EC2_SECRET_KEY, AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN or EC2_SECURITY_TOKEN, AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION
Ansible uses the boto configuration file (typically ~/.boto) if no credentials are provided. See https://boto.readthedocs.io/en/latest/boto_config_tut.html
AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION can be typically be used to specify the AWS region, when required, but this can also be configured in the boto config file

Examples ¶

- name: create single region cloudtrail
  cloudtrail:
    state: present
    name: default
    s3_bucket_name: mylogbucket
    s3_key_prefix: cloudtrail
    region: us-east-1

- name: create multi-region trail with validation and tags
  cloudtrail:
    state: present
    name: default
    s3_bucket_name: mylogbucket
    region: us-east-1
    is_multi_region_trail: true
    enable_log_file_validation: true
    cloudwatch_logs_role_arn: "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/CloudTrail_CloudWatchLogs_Role"
    cloudwatch_logs_log_group_arn: "arn:aws:logs:us-east-1:123456789012:log-group:CloudTrail/DefaultLogGroup:*"
    kms_key_id: "alias/MyAliasName"
    tags:

    # simply "12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012" would be valid too.
