<a name="cloudtrail-query-examples-sourceversion2"></a>

AWS CloudTrail tracks user activity and API usage in AWS services. Subscribers can query CloudTrail data to learn the following types of information:

Here are some example queries for CloudTrail data for AWS source version 2:

**Unauthorized attempts against AWS services in the last 7 days**

```
SELECT
    time_dt, 
    api.service.name, 
    api.operation, 
    api.response.error, 
    api.response.message, 
    api.response.data, 
    cloud.region, 
    actor.user.uid, 
    src_endpoint.ip, 
    http_request.user_agent
FROM "amazon_security_lake_glue_db_us_east_1"."amazon_security_lake_table_us_east_1_cloud_trail_mgmt_2_0"
WHERE time_dt BETWEEN CURRENT_TIMESTAMP - INTERVAL '7' DAY AND CURRENT_TIMESTAMP 
AND api.response.error in (
    'Client.UnauthorizedOperation',
    'Client.InvalidPermission.NotFound',
    'Client.OperationNotPermitted',
    'AccessDenied')
ORDER BY time desc
LIMIT 25
```

**List of all CloudTrail activity from source IP `192.0.2.1` in the last 7 days**

```
