How to Resolve Manually

This config rule checks if a DocumentDB cluster is publishing Audit Logs to Amazon CloudWatch. The rule will be marked as non-compliant if a cluster is found with Audit Logs disabled.


To resolve this, go to Amazon DocumentDB service from within the AWS Console, search for the cluster that is out of compliance and click on its name. From there, go to Configuration tab and click on Modify button.


Locate the Log exports card and enable the Audit logs for that cluster.

Click on Continue, review and define the scheduling of modifications and finally click on Modify Cluster button.
