CloudTrail S3 bucket access is not enabled | Resolved

Did you know that S3 Bucket Access Logging creates a log consisting of access records of each request made to the S3 bucket?

In other words, these access log records contain information about the request, namely, request type, resources specified, and so on. When logs are configured to be stored in a separate bucket, workflows for security and incident response can access log data.

This is why our in-house experts recommend enabling S3 bucket access logging. In case it is not enabled, follow these steps:

1. First, log in to the AWS Management Console.
2. Then, open the Amazon S3 console.
3. Next, navigate to All Buckets and then choose the target S3 bucket.
4. After that, click Properties at the top right of the console.
5. Then, choose Logging Under Bucket: <s3_bucket_for_cloudtrail>.
6. Next, we have to configure bucket logging as seen below:
   • First, select Enabled.
   • Then choose Target Bucket from the list.
   • Finally, enter a Target Prefix.
