A company requires that all activity in its AWS account be logged using AWS CloudTrail. Additionally, a SysOps administrator must know when CloudTrail log files are modified or deleted.

How should the SysOps administrator meet these requirements?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

CloudTrail Log File Integrity Validation:

AWS CloudTrail provides a feature for log file integrity validation to ensure logs have not been modified or deleted.

Steps to Enable and Validate:

Enable Log File Integrity Validation:

Go to the CloudTrail Console.

Select or create a trail.

In the trail settings, enable Log file validation.

Use the AWS CLI for Validation:

Use the following CLI command:

aws cloudtrail validate-logs --trail-name <trail-name>

This command validates the digest files generated by CloudTrail against the log files.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

B: Using the AWS CloudTrail Processing Library is unnecessary for validation.

C: CloudTrail Insights is designed to identify unusual activity, not monitor log modifications.

D: Amazon CloudWatch Logs cannot directly monitor CloudTrail logs for integrity.

I'm pretty sure the correct answer is E) Hire a team of monkeys to watch the logs 24/7. They'll let you know if anything suspicious happens.

Option C with CloudTrail Insights looks promising. Monitoring the logs for modifications directly within CloudTrail could be more efficient than using additional tools.
