AWS CloudHSM

docs>integrations>AWS CloudHSM

Overview

When an HSM in your account receives a command from the AWS CloudHSM command line tools or software libraries, it records its execution of the command in audit log form. The HSM audit logs include all client-initiated management commands, including those that create and delete the HSM, log into and out of the HSM, and manage users and keys. These logs provide a reliable record of actions that have changed the state of the HSM.

Datadog integrates with AWS CloudHSM through a Lambda function that ships CloudHSM logs to Datadog’s Log Management solution.
