What is AWS CloudTrail Event Coverage?

Cloud accounts are used by many people and programs at once, so security and compliance teams need a dependable chronological record of who did what; the hard part is knowing whether that record is complete. AWS CloudTrail is the Amazon Web Services service that records actions taken by users, roles and services for auditing, governance and compliance. Event Coverage is a console view inside CloudTrail that shows, at account and organization level, which services and resource types have data event logging (a record of operations on the data itself, such as reading an object in a storage bucket) enabled and which do not, so gaps in logging can be spotted and closed from the dashboard. AWS announced it on 30 September 2026.
