Description
Failure to enable logging for the HTTP(S) Load Balancer increases the risk of unauthorized access, denial of service attacks, and the inability to track and investigate security incidents. Enabling logging provides valuable insights into network traffic, helps with troubleshooting, and aids in meeting compliance requirements. It is recommended to configure logging for the HTTP(S) Load Balancer in Google Cloud Platform.
How to fix?
Set the log_config.enabled attribute to true.
Example Configuration
resource "google_compute_backend_service" "allowed" {
name = "backend"
port_name = "http"
protocol = "HTTP"
timeout_sec = 10
health_checks = [google_compute_http_health_check.default.id]
log_config {
enable = true
}
}
