Documentation with list and description of all quicksight events

Question & Answer

1

Is there any documentation with the list and description (explanation) of all QuickSight events and logs?
We are evolving governance and creating indicators, and without this documentation explaining each event (examples of how, when and why it is recorded) it becomes extremely exhausting and unreliable to do discovery and create indicators to govern the environment.
If there was something similar to this documentation above for QuickSight, with the possibility of searching, it would be perfect =).

Hi @LuanaCS,

You can go to this link to get a list of QuickSight events that are tracked in CloudTrail:

Hi @LuanaCS,
It’s been awhile since we last heard from you, are you still encountering the same issue or were you able to find a work around?

If we do not hear back within the next 3 business days, I’ll close out this topic.

Thank you!

@David_Wong,
Thanks for the documentation, I didn’t know it. :grinning:
My main objective in understanding events is to classify them according to the user profile (Reader,Author, Admin)

I still found events in my application that are not documented.

GETSTATICASSET
UPLOADSTATICASSET

Below are the events that I have the most doubts about and were unable to classify:

Hi @DylanM , @David_Wong
Could you please help me regarding these events above? :slight_smile:

Hi @LuanaCS,

Where did you get that list of events? I don’t see most of them. For example, there’s no event called GETSTATICASSET.

Hi @David_Wong
We extract all events directly from Cloudtrail and store them in our own historical dataset.
This getstaticasset event is the one that appears the most, as you can see in the Event History screenshot.

Hi @LuanaCS,
I was unable to find a detailed list of Cloudtrail QuickSight event names published anywhere so I’m not quite sure if this exists. I’ll mark this as a feature request as this would be a valuable tool for users to have/utilize.

Let us know if you have any additional questions or comments, if we do not hear back within the next 3 business days, I’ll close out this topic.

Thank you!

Hi @LuanaCS,
Since I’ve marked this as a feature request already and we have not heard back any further, I’ll go ahead and close out this topic. However, if you have any additional questions, feel free to create a new post in the community.

Thank you!
