AWS CloudTrail to MySQL Integration

How Datrise loads AWS CloudTrail into MySQL

Datrise syncs AWS CloudTrail's API events, identities, resources, event sources, error codes, and request parameters into MySQL as a typed table per source entity. Flexible or custom fields land in JSON columns, and timestamps such as created, updated, and status changes are typed as DATETIME/TIMESTAMP.

Sync is incremental: Datrise uses a watermark on updated-at, applied with INSERT … ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE, so re-runs update only what changed. Optional RANGE partitioning by load date. MySQL collation matters for CRM text, so Datrise lands utf8mb4 to preserve emoji and non-Latin characters.

Ideal for operational reporting and app databases already standardized on MySQL.

Endpoints

AWS CloudTrail: AWS account activity and API audit logging.

MySQL: Widely used OSS relational engine (InnoDB).

How AWS CloudTrail entities map to MySQL

AWS CloudTrail entity	MySQL object	Notes
API events	`aws_cloudtrail_api_events`	DATETIME/TIMESTAMP events
identities	`aws_cloudtrail_identities`	id PK · linked to aws_cloudtrail_api_events
resources	`aws_cloudtrail_resources`	id PK · linked to aws_cloudtrail_api_events
event sources	`aws_cloudtrail_event_sources`	DATETIME/TIMESTAMP events

FAQ

How does Datrise handle AWS CloudTrail's custom fields in MySQL?

Flexible values are stored as JSON columns, so new fields don't require a migration; strongly-typed fields — dates, numbers, and references — are promoted to native MySQL types.

How does the AWS CloudTrail to MySQL sync stay up to date?

It runs incrementally — Datrise uses a watermark on updated-at, applied with INSERT … ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE.
