AWS Postgres RDS have Query Logging disabled misconfiguration detected in code

Rule Details

Cortex AppSec Rule ID	APPSEC2_AWS_30
Category - Subcategory	Logging - Disabled or missing
Provider	AWS
Severity	LOW
Framework	Terraform, Terraform Plan

Impact

This check ensures that you have enabled query logging set up for your PostgreSQL database cluster. A cluster needs to have a non-default parameter group and two parameters set - that of log_statement and log_min_duration_statement, these need to be set to all and 1 respectively to get sufficient logs. Note Setting querying logging can expose secrets (including passwords) from your queries, - restrict and encrypt to mitigate.

How to Fix

You will need to have a resource aws_rds_cluster_parameter_group that is referred to your aws_rds_cluster_parameter_group

attribute: db_cluster_parameter_group_name.

With that in place the following parameters need to be set:

For more details see the aws docs here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide/USER_LogAccess.Concepts.PostgreSQL.html [source,go]

resource "aws_db_parameter_group" "examplea" { name = "rds-cluster-pg" family = "postgres10"

• parameter {
• name="log_statement"
• value="all"
• }
• parameter {
• name="log_min_duration_statement"
• value="1"
• } }
