AWS Management Console sign-in events - AWS CloudTrail
Example event records for IAM usersExample event records for root usersExample event records for federated users

AWS Management Console sign-in events

CloudTrail logs attempts to sign in to the AWS Management Console, the AWS Discussion Forums, and the AWS Support Center. All IAM user and root user sign-in events, as well as all federated user sign-in events, generate records in CloudTrail log files. For information about finding and viewing logs, see Finding your CloudTrail log files and Downloading your CloudTrail log files.

Note

If you sign-in using the AWS Sign-In global endpoint or sign-in as the root user, CloudTrail records the ConsoleLogin event in us-east-1.

If you sign-in using a Regional endpoint, CloudTrail records the ConsoleLogin event in the appropriate Region for the endpoint. For more information about AWS Sign-In endpoints, see AWS Sign-In endpoints and quotas.

Example event records for IAM users

The following examples show event records for several IAM user sign-in scenarios.

Example event records for federated users

The following examples show event records for federated users. Federated users are given temporary security credentials to access AWS resources through an AssumeRole request.

The following shows an example event for a federation encryption request. The original access key ID is provided in the accessKeyId field of the userIdentity element. The accessKeyId field in the responseElements contains a new access key ID if the requested sessionDuration is passed in the encryption request, otherwise it contains the value of the original access key ID.
