Description

If a user configures CloudTrail to send log events to CloudWatch Logs, they can then create CloudWatch Logs metric filters to search for specific terms such as a user or resource, or create CloudWatch alarms to trigger based on thresholds or anomalous activity.

How to fix?

Configure the aws_cloudtrail cloud_watch_logs_group_arn or cloud_watch_logs_role_arn field.

Ensure that the aws_cloudtrail resource has a cloud_watch_logs_group_arn, and optionally, a cloud_watch_logs_role_arn if not using the default role ARN.

Example Configuration

resource "aws_cloudtrail" "example" {
  cloud_watch_logs_group_arn = "${aws_cloudwatch_log_group.example.arn}:*"
  # other required fields here
}
