Data plane API logging for Amazon DynamoDB using AWS CloudTrail is now available in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions

AWS CloudTrail now supports data plane API logging to monitor, alarm, and archive item-level activity in your Amazon DynamoDB tables, in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. You can now use AWS CloudTrail to log data-plane API activity to monitor, alarm, and archive item-level activity in your [Amazon DynamoDB](https://aws.amazon.com/dynamodb/) tables. You can use this information about item-level activity as part of an audit, to help address compliance requirements, and monitor which AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) users, roles, and permissions are being used to access your table data. With CloudTrail data-plane logging, you can record all API activity on DynamoDB, and receive detailed information such as the IAM user or role that made the request, the time of the request, and the accessed table. To configure data-plane events for DynamoDB, in the CloudTrail console or with the AWS CLI or AWS API, specify DynamoDB as the data event type and choose the DynamoDB tables for which you want CloudTrail to record data-plane API activity. You also can configure whether read-only, write-only, or both types of events are captured for the trail. CloudTrail records and delivers DynamoDB data events to the same Amazon S3 bucket to which it already delivers your log files for other AWS services.
