Description

Misconfiguration of SQL instances can adversely impact business continuity, disaster recovery, and high availability or increase exposure to untrusted networks. Monitoring configuration changes can reduce the time needed to correct them.

How to fix?

Ensure google_logging_metric and google_monitoring_alert_policy resources are configured to alert for SQL instance configuration changes.

Example Configuration

resource "google_logging_metric" "logging_metric_442" {
  name   = "logging_metric_442"
  filter = "protoPayload.methodName=\"cloudsql.instances.update\""

  metric_descriptor {
    value_type  = "INT64"
    metric_kind = "DELTA"
  }
}

resource "google_monitoring_alert_policy" "alert_policy" {
  depends_on   = [google_logging_metric.logging_metric_442]
  display_name = "Alert Policy"
  combiner     = "OR"
  conditions {
    display_name = "condition"
    condition_threshold {
      filter     = "resource.type=\"global\" metric.type=\"logging.googleapis.com/user/logging_metric_442\""
      duration   = "60s"
      comparison = "COMPARISON_GT"
    }
  }
}
