Explanation

By creating an organization trail in AWS CloudTrail, you ensure that all API activity across all AWS accounts in the organization is captured. This gives you a complete and centralized view of user and role activity across the entire organization. CloudWatch Contributor Insights is designed for analyzing high-cardinality data, such as tracking the top users and roles by activity. By using a Contributor Insights rule that focuses on the userIdentity.arn log field from CloudTrail, you can quickly identify the most active users and roles across all accounts. This provides real-time insights with minimal operational overhead. This solution leverages CloudTrail for logging and CloudWatch for analysis, both of which are AWS-native services. The setup is automated, and once configured, it continuously provides insights without requiring manual querying or data extraction. By using CloudWatch Contributor Insights with a CloudTrail organization trail, this solution provides a highly efficient, scalable, and real-time method to track the top users and roles across all AWS accounts.
