Active MQ brokers should stream audit logs to CloudWatch¶

This control checks whether an Amazon MQ ActiveMQ broker streams audit logs to Amazon CloudWatch Logs. The control fails if the broker doesn't stream audit logs to CloudWatch Logs.

How to fix¶

Attribute logs[0].audit of aws_mq_broker must be true.

Implementation options¶

Choose the option that matches how you manage Terraform. All options satisfy this control.

Option 1: Terraform AWS provider resources¶

If you manage resources directly, configure the relevant Terraform AWS provider resources to meet this control. See docs for the resources involved: aws_mq_broker.

resource "aws_mq_broker" "this" {
  broker_name        = "pofix-example-broker"
  engine_type        = "ActiveMQ"
  engine_version     = "5.17.6"
  host_instance_type = "mq.t3.micro"

  user {
    password = "ChangeMe123!"
    username = "admin"
  }

  logs {
    audit   = true
    general = true
  }
}
