Aws Instance Logs Disabled
Description
Detects Amazon RDS database instances that have CloudWatch log exports disabled. Without CloudWatch log exports enabled, critical database logs are not captured for monitoring, auditing, and troubleshooting purposes, which reduces visibility into database activities and potential security incidents.
Detection Strategy
• Examines each RDS database instance in the specified AWS region
• Checks if the 'EnabledCloudwatchLogsExports' property is empty or missing
• Reports a vulnerability if no log types are configured for export to CloudWatch Logs
