aws-cloudtrail v5.17.0 - Stop creating skipped Trail Status and Log File Validation controls on every trail
Aug 25, 2026•GuardrailsMods
Warning
- The Trail Status and Log File Validation controls are now created on a trail only once you set the corresponding policy, instead of being created on every trail and left in a skipped state. This keeps trails you haven't configured free of skipped controls. Existing policy settings and control results are unaffected.
- The Usage controls and their Usage and Usage > Limit policies have been retired from the Trail resource type and are no longer supported. The Approved > Usage policies are unaffected and remain available.
