Radius CloudTrail Query Runbooks: Instant Insights for AWS Logs

When AWS CloudTrail records every API call, finding what matters can be slow. Radius turns that stream into instant answers. A Query Runbook is a pre-built workflow that runs targeted searches against CloudTrail without writing raw SQL, without hunting through rows manually. You pick the runbook, set parameters, and Radius executes the query with correctness and speed.

This changes incident response. Instead of scrambling through logs, you run a Radius CloudTrail Query Runbook to see who did what, where, and when. Access changes, resource deletions, permission updates—these events surface in seconds. Each runbook is built to capture high-value audit trails, mapped to security and compliance needs.

Radius integrates permissions and environment context so queries return scoped results. No guesswork, no irrelevant noise. Query Runbooks can also chain into other Radius workflows, such as alert dispatch or remediation scripts. Engineers trigger them from the CLI, the API, or Radius’s dashboard.

For AWS environments with complex IAM structures, Radius CloudTrail Query Runbooks remove friction. They encode best practices for query logic, eliminating blind spots in monitoring. You get reproducible, testable queries that work across accounts and regions.

Security teams use them to confirm specific actions during an incident. Ops teams run them weekly to verify change management. Compliance teams attach runbook output as evidence in audits. In all cases, the runbooks standardize CloudTrail investigation and shorten mean time to resolution.

Set up takes minutes. Radius ships with a library of runbooks, and you can write your own in YAML. Once deployed, they become part of your operational toolkit—repeatable, fast, and version-controlled.
