Cloud Config:Enable full log trails in ActionTrail

Last Updated:Jun 16, 2026

A trail in ActionTrail is considered compliant if it is enabled and tracks all regions and all event types.

Scenarios

Compliance standards such as Multi-Level Protection Scheme (MLPS) Level 3 pre-checks, CIS Network Security framework checks, and OSS compliance management require that all cloud operation logs be retained for at least 180 days. When you detect malicious attacks, malicious operations, or system failures, complete operation logs help you preserve evidence and quickly identify issues.

Risk level

Default risk level: High risk.

You can change the risk level as needed.

Detection logic

  • A trail is considered compliant if it is enabled in ActionTrail and configured to track all regions and all event types.

  • A trail is considered non-compliant if no trail is created in ActionTrail, an existing trail is disabled, or an enabled trail is configured to track only some regions or event types. To fix this issue, see Remediation.
