Centralize user activity from external sources in AWS CloudTrail Lake
summary
Claims CloudTrail Lake can centralize audit logs from AWS and non‑AWS sources and make them queryable and immutable. Demonstrates a Python script that reads /var/log/secure in chunks of 100 lines, maps records to the CloudTrail event schema, and calls the PutAuditEvents API to send into an event data store (channel ARN required). Also points to a Systems Manager automation solution that collects instance logs into S3 then ingests them; demo data is preloaded and queries run successfully.
