Answers
D.
Use AWS Config to get the API calls which were made 11 days ago.
Suggested answer: B

Explanation:

The Cloud Trail event history allows to view events which are recorded for 90 days. So one can use a metric filter to gather the API calls from 11 days ago. Option A and C is invalid because Cloudwatch is used for logging and not for monitoring API activity

Option D is invalid because AWSConfig is a configuration service and not for monitoring API activity For more information on AWS Cloudtrail, please visit the following URL:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/usereuide/how-cloudtrail-works.htmlNote:

In this question we assume that the customer has enabled cloud trail service.

AWS CloudTrail is enabled by default for ALL CUSTOMERS and will provide visibility into the past seven days of account activity without the need for you to configure a trail in the service to get started. So for an activity that happened 11 days ago to be stored in the cloud trail we need to configure the trail manually to ensure that it is stored in the events history. • https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-amazon-web-services-extends-cloudtrail-to-all-awscustomers/The correct answer is: Search the Cloudtrail event history on the API events which occurred 11 daysago.
