Create A Report Of Those Users Who Have Logged In To The AWS Console Today

In this article, we will create a report of those users who have logged in to the AWS console today.

Steps

For creating the report, we will work on the following steps: -

Create a cloud trail
Create a table in Athena for CloudTrail
Create a query in Athena

So, let us get started.

Create A CloudTrail

First, create a CloudTrail. Use this link to create a cloud trail. Once the CloudTrail is created, an S3 bucket is also created.

Create A Query In Athena

Before we query Athena, set the query result location to the CloudTrail S3 bucket. You can follow this article for setting up the query location.

Now, go to the query editor and execute this query.

select from_iso8601_date(substr(eventtime,1,10)), *
from cloudtrail_logs_aws_cloudtrail_logs_462618770999_54460e6c
where 
date_diff('Day',from_iso8601_date(substr(eventtime,1,10)),CURRENT_DATE) = 0
and 
eventname = 'ConsoleLogin'

Once the query is executed, you will get results.
