Rule Description
Enabling logging for Database Migration Service (DMS) replication tasks in the target database is a best practice recommended by AWS Foundational Security. By enabling logging, you gain visibility into the replication processes, ensuring data integrity, monitoring the tasks, and identifying any issues that may arise during the replication process.
Troubleshooting Steps
If there are any issues with enabling logging for DMS replication tasks, follow these troubleshooting steps:
- 1.Check the IAM permissions of the user trying to enable logging.
- 2.Verify the connection between the DMS service and the target database.
- 3.Ensure that the target database supports logging for DMS replication tasks.
- 4.Review the DMS documentation for any specific troubleshooting steps related to logging.
Necessary Codes
If you need to enable logging for DMS replication tasks, you can use the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) with the following code:
aws dms modify-replication-task --replication-task-arn <replication-task-arn> --enable-logging
Step-by-Step Guide for Remediation
Follow these steps to enable logging for DMS replication tasks using the AWS CLI:
- 1.Open your terminal or command prompt.
- 2.Run the following command, replacing
with the ARN of your specific replication task:<replication-task-arn>
aws dms modify-replication-task --replication-task-arn <replication-task-arn> --enable-logging
- 1.Once the command is executed successfully, logging will be enabled for the specified DMS replication task.
By following these steps, you ensure that logging is enabled for DMS replication tasks in the target database, aligning with AWS Foundational Security Best Practices.
