create-dashboard¶

Description¶

Creates a custom dashboard or the Highlights dashboard.

Custom dashboards - Custom dashboards allow you to query events in any event data store type. You can add up to 10 widgets to a custom dashboard. You can manually refresh a custom dashboard, or you can set a refresh schedule.
Highlights dashboard - You can create the Highlights dashboard to see a summary of key user activities and API usage across all your event data stores. CloudTrail Lake manages the Highlights dashboard and refreshes the dashboard every 6 hours. To create the Highlights dashboard, you must set and enable a refresh schedule.

CloudTrail runs queries to populate the dashboard’s widgets during a manual or scheduled refresh. CloudTrail must be granted permissions to run the StartQuery operation on your behalf. To provide permissions, run the PutResourcePolicy operation to attach a resource-based policy to each event data store. For more information, see Example: Allow CloudTrail to run queries to populate a dashboard in the CloudTrail User Guide .

To set a refresh schedule, CloudTrail must be granted permissions to run the StartDashboardRefresh operation to refresh the dashboard on your behalf. To provide permissions, run the PutResourcePolicy operation to attach a resource-based policy to the dashboard. For more information, see Resource-based policy example for a dashboard in the CloudTrail User Guide .

For more information about dashboards, see CloudTrail Lake dashboards in the CloudTrail User Guide .

Unit -> (string)

The unit to use for the refresh.

For custom dashboards, the unit can be HOURS or DAYS .

For the Highlights dashboard, the Unit must be HOURS .

Value -> (integer)

The value for the refresh schedule.

For custom dashboards, the following values are valid when the unit is HOURS : 1 , 6 , 12 , 24

For custom dashboards, the only valid value when the unit is DAYS is 1 .

For the Highlights dashboard, the Value must be 6 .

Status -> (string)

Specifies whether the refresh schedule is enabled. Set the value to ENABLED to enable the refresh schedule, or to DISABLED to turn off the refresh schedule.

TimeOfDay -> (string)

The time of day in UTC to run the schedule; for hourly only refer to minutes; default is 00:00.

Shorthand Syntax:

Frequency={Unit=string,Value=integer},Status=string,TimeOfDay=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "Frequency": {
    "Unit": "HOURS"|"DAYS",
    "Value": integer
  },
  "Status": "ENABLED"|"DISABLED",
  "TimeOfDay": "string"
}

--tags-list (list)

A list of tags.

(structure)

A custom key-value pair associated with a resource such as a CloudTrail trail, event data store, dashboard, or channel.

Key -> (string)

The key in a key-value pair. The key must be must be no longer than 128 Unicode characters. The key must be unique for the resource to which it applies.

Value -> (string)

The value in a key-value pair of a tag. The value must be no longer than 256 Unicode characters.

Shorthand Syntax:

Key=string,Value=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Key": "string",
    "Value": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--termination-protection-enabled | --no-termination-protection-enabled (boolean)

Specifies whether termination protection is enabled for the dashboard. If termination protection is enabled, you cannot delete the dashboard until termination protection is disabled.

--widgets (list)

An array of widgets for a custom dashboard. A custom dashboard can have a maximum of ten widgets.

You do not need to specify widgets for the Highlights dashboard.

(structure)

Contains information about a widget on a CloudTrail Lake dashboard.

QueryStatement -> (string)

The query statement for the widget. For custom dashboard widgets, you can query across multiple event data stores as long as all event data stores exist in your account.

Note
When a query uses ? with eventTime , ? must be surrounded by single quotes as follows: '?' .

QueryParameters -> (list)

The optional query parameters. The following query parameters are valid: $StartTime$ , $EndTime$ , and $Period$ .

(string)

ViewProperties -> (map)

The view properties for the widget. For more information about view properties, see View properties for widgets in the CloudTrail User Guide .

key -> (string)

value -> (string)

Shorthand Syntax:

QueryStatement=string,QueryParameters=string,string,ViewProperties={KeyName1=string,KeyName2=string} ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "QueryStatement": "string",
    "QueryParameters": ["string", ...],
    "ViewProperties": {"string": "string"
      ...}
  }
  ...
]

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

Global Options¶

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command’s default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

json
text
table
yaml
yaml-stream

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

--cli-binary-format (string)

The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.
