AWS CloudTrail

{'QueryAlias': 'string'}

Returns metadata about a query, including query run time in milliseconds, number of events scanned and matched, and query status. If the query results were delivered to an S3 bucket, the response also provides the S3 URI and the delivery status.

You must specify either a QueryID or a QueryAlias. Specifying the QueryAlias parameter returns information about the last query run for the alias.

  • QueryId (string) --

    The ID of the query.

  • QueryString (string) --

    The SQL code of a query.

{'QueryAlias': 'string', 'QueryParameters': ['string']}

Starts a CloudTrail Lake query. Use the QueryStatement parameter to provide your SQL query, enclosed in single quotation marks. Use the optional DeliveryS3Uri parameter to deliver the query results to an S3 bucket.

StartQuery requires you specify either the QueryStatement parameter, or a QueryAlias and any QueryParameters. In the current release, the QueryAlias and QueryParameters parameters are used only for the queries that populate the CloudTrail Lake dashboards.
