AWS CloudTrail, a service that records API activity across your AWS account for security auditing, compliance, and operational troubleshooting, now integrates with Amazon Q Console to help you investigate your AWS account activity using natural language. You can ask Amazon Q Console questions about your CloudTrail configuration, query your logged events for security investigations, and troubleshoot operational issues without writing queries or manually parsing log files.
With this integration, you can ask Amazon Q Console to check whether your CloudTrail trails are properly configured, identify gaps in your logging coverage, and confirm which data event sources you are tracking. You can investigate security concerns by asking who accessed a specific IAM role, what changes were made to your VPC configuration, or whether there were unauthorized access attempts in the past week. For operational troubleshooting, you can ask Amazon Q Console to find who created or deleted specific resources, identify which API calls are generating errors, trace activity from a specific IP address, or determine why your bill spiked. Amazon Q Console can query your CloudTrail trails, associated CloudWatch log groups, and event data stores on your behalf, providing answers grounded in your actual account activity rather than generic documentation.
This integration is available in all AWS commercial regions where Amazon Q Console is supported. To get started, open Amazon Q in AWS Management Console and ask questions about your CloudTrail configuration or account activity. For more information, visit the AWS CloudTrail documentation.
