AWS CloudTrail to Tableau Integration
AI-first ETL from AWS CloudTrail into Tableau. Governed entities, incremental sync, typed landing tables.
How Datrise loads AWS CloudTrail into Tableau
Datrise syncs AWS CloudTrail's API events, identities, resources, event sources, error codes, and request parameters into Tableau as warehouse tables or a refreshed .hyper extract. Flexible or custom fields land in flattened columns for Tableau fields, and timestamps such as created, updated, and status changes are typed as date/datetime fields.
Sync is incremental: Datrise uses incremental refresh of the tables behind a live connection or extract, so re-runs update only what changed. Date-partitioned facts to keep extract refresh quick. Tableau .hyper extracts snapshot data, so Datrise keeps the source tables incremental and lets you choose live vs extract.
Ideal for visual analytics and dashboards in Tableau.
Endpoints
AWS CloudTrail: AWS account activity and API audit logging.

| event sources | aws_cloudtrail_event_sources | date/datetime fields events |
FAQ
How does Datrise handle AWS CloudTrail's custom fields in Tableau?
Flexible values are stored as flattened columns for Tableau fields, so new fields don't require a migration; strongly-typed fields — dates, numbers, and references — are promoted to native Tableau types.
How does the AWS CloudTrail to Tableau sync stay up to date?
It runs incrementally — Datrise uses incremental refresh of the tables behind a live connection or extract.
