## Impact

This rule is checking to make sure that Elastic Beanstalk environments have enhanced health reporting enabled. Enhanced health reporting is a feature that provides additional information about resource utilization and instance health, making it easier to identify and troubleshoot issues. Not having this feature enabled could potentially lead to undetected operational issues, resulting in downtime or impaired system performance. Monitoring and troubleshooting are key elements in maintaining system stability and performance, thus the absence of enhanced health reporting is a high risk.

## How to Fix

*Resource:* aws\_elastic\_beanstalk\_environment

* *Arguments:* namespace, HealthStreamingEnabled

## In order to fix this issue, you need to enable enhanced health reporting in your Elastic Beanstalk environment configuration. \[source,go]

resource "aws\_elastic\_beanstalk\_environment" "pass" { name = "beany" application = var.elastic\_beanstalk\_application\_name description = var.description tier = var.tier solution\_stack\_name = var.solution\_stack\_name wait\_for\_ready\_timeout = var.wait\_for\_ready\_timeout version\_label = var.version\_label tags = local.tags

* setting {
* namespace = "aws:elasticbeanstalk:healthreporting:system"
* name = "HealthStreamingEnabled"
* value = "true"
* } }

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/appsec-rules/iac-security/monitoring/appsec-aws-312.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
