# Implementing CloudTrail Log Analysis
## When to Use
- When building security monitoring pipelines for AWS API activity
- When investigating security incidents to trace attacker actions across AWS services
- When compliance requires audit logging of all administrative and data access operations
- When creating detection rules for known attack patterns in AWS environments
- When establishing baseline API behavior for anomaly detection
**Do not use** for real-time threat detection (use GuardDuty which already analyzes CloudTrail), for application-level logging (use CloudWatch Application Logs), or for network traffic analysis (use VPC Flow Logs).
