AWS CloudTrail Adds the Ability to Download CloudTrail Account Activity History

AWS CloudTrail now enables you to download CloudTrail account activity history from within the CloudTrail console.

Now, you can download your account activity to a CSV or JSON formatted file. You can use the downloaded files to analyze account activity with 3rd party tools or to backup and store activity history offline. Please visit AWS CloudTrail documentation page for more information.
