MSK connectors should have logging enabled¶

This control checks whether logging is enabled for an Amazon MSK connector. The control fails if logging is disabled for the MSK connector.

How to fix¶

Attribute log_delivery[0].worker_log_delivery[0].cloudwatch_logs[0].enabled of aws_mskconnect_connector 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_mskconnect_connector.

resource "aws_mskconnect_connector" "this" {
  capacity {
    provisioned_capacity {
      mcu_count    = 1
      worker_count = 1
    }
  }
  connector_configuration = { "topic" = "pofix-example-topic" }

  kafka_cluster {
    apache_kafka_cluster {
      bootstrap_servers = "b-1.example.kafka.us-east-1.amazonaws.com:9092"

      vpc {
        security_groups = ["sg-12345678"]
        subnets         = ["subnet-12345678"]
      }
    }
  }

  kafka_cluster_client_authentication {
    authentication_type = "NONE"
  }

  kafka_cluster_encryption_in_transit {
    encryption_type = "PLAINTEXT"
  }

  kafkaconnect_version = "2.7.1"
  name                 = "pofix-example-connector"

  plugin {
    custom_plugin {
      arn      = "arn:aws:kafkaconnect:us-east-1:123456789012:custom-plugin/example/1"
      revision = 1
    }
  }

  service_execution_role_arn = "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/mskconnect-role"

  log_delivery {
    worker_log_delivery {
      cloudwatch_logs {
        enabled = true
      }
    }
  }
}

Which option should I choose?

Compliance.tf module (recommended): controls enforced by default and mapped to frameworks.
Open source module (terraform-aws-modules): compatible by design with compliance.tf. Same variable names for an easy, low-change migration path when you are ready.
Terraform AWS provider resources: manage Terraform resources directly.
