AWS CloudTrail logs API activity for audit and troubleshooting; Amazon Q Console now supports natural language queries over these logs, enabling users to explore security and operational questions without writing queries. Users can verify CloudTrail configurations, identify logging gaps, and check tracked data event sources through conversational queries.

The tool assists in security investigations by querying access patterns, configuration changes, unauthorized attempts, and operational issues like error-generating API calls or billing spikes. This integration queries actual logs and event data stores, providing grounded answers and is available in all supported AWS commercial Regions.
