Amazon S3 now generates AWS CloudTrail events for S3 Tables maintenance operations

Amazon S3 adds AWS CloudTrail events for table maintenance activities in Amazon S3 Tables. You can now use AWS CloudTrail to track compaction and snapshot expiration operations performed by S3 Tables on your tables.

S3 Tables automatically performs maintenance to optimize query performance and lower costs of your tables stored in S3 table buckets. You can monitor and audit S3 Tables maintenance activities such as compaction and snapshot expiration as management events in AWS CloudTrail. To get started with monitoring, create a trail in the AWS CloudTrail console and filter for 'AwsServiceEvents' as the eventType and 'TablesMaintenanceEvent' as the eventName.

AWS CloudTrail events for S3 Tables maintenance are now available in all AWS Regions where S3 Tables are available. To learn more, visit Amazon S3 Tables product page and documentation.
