Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) now supports Amazon CloudTrail logging for the Publish and PublishBatch API actions. By logging these data events, you can get details on when and who made API calls to Amazon SNS, thereby enhancing data visibility for security and operations teams, enabling governance, compliance, and operational auditing.
Amazon SNS is a fully managed messaging service for both application-to-application (A2A) and application-to-person (A2P) communication. The A2A pub/sub functionality provides topics for high-throughput, push-based, many-to-many messaging between distributed systems, microservices, and event-driven serverless applications. The A2P functionality enables you to send messages to users at scale via SMS, mobile push, and email.
Amazon CloudTrail logging for the Publish and PublishBatch API actions is available in the Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD, and the Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet.
To enable logging for Amazon SNS data events, using the Amazon CloudTrail Management Console or the Amazon CloudTrail Command Line Interface (CLI), specify Amazon SNS as the data event type, then choose the Amazon SNS topics that you want to monitor.
