AWS CloudTrail vs OK Log: What are the differences?

Developers describe AWS CloudTrail as "Record AWS API calls for your account and have log files delivered to you". With CloudTrail, you can get a history of AWS API calls for your account, including API calls made via the AWS Management Console, AWS SDKs, command line tools, and higher-level AWS services (such as AWS CloudFormation). The AWS API call history produced by CloudTrail enables security analysis, resource change tracking, and compliance auditing. The recorded information includes the identity of the API caller, the time of the API call, the source IP address of the API caller, the request parameters, and the response elements returned by the AWS service. On the other hand, OK Log is detailed as "A distributed and coordination-free log management system". OK Log is a distributed and coördination-free log management system for big ol' clusters. It's an on-prem solution that's designed to be a sort of building block: easy to understand, easy to operate, and easy to extend.

AWS CloudTrail and OK Log can be categorized as "Log Management" tools.

OK Log is an open source tool with 2.78K GitHub stars and 135 GitHub forks. Here's a link to OK Log's open source repository on GitHub.
