What CGPulse checks
A resource passes this rule when xrayEnabled must equal true. Anything else is reported as a finding with the evaluated property value attached as evidence.
How to fix it
Enable X-Ray tracing for distributed tracing and performance monitoring of GraphQL requests. In AWS Console: AppSync > APIs > select API > Settings > enable X-Ray tracing. See: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/appsync/latest/devguide/x-ray-tracing.html
Terraform
resource "aws_appsync_graphql_api" "{name}" {
xray_enabled = true
}
