The information that AWS CloudTrail does not capture is the time of the origin of the request in your local time. AWS CloudTrail records API calls made in your AWS account and provides key information about those calls, including the time of the API call, the originating location of the request (such as the IP address), and the name of the API that was called. However, CloudTrail timestamps are recorded in UTC format, and it does not convert these timestamps to the local time zone of the request origin. This means users must perform any necessary conversions themselves if they wish to understand when an event occurred in their local time context. Understanding this aspect is vital for correctly interpreting the logs for security auditing and compliance purposes.
