What CGPulse checks
A resource passes this rule when logConfig must be set true. Anything else is reported as a finding with the evaluated property value attached as evidence.
How to fix it
Configure CloudWatch logging to capture request and response details for security monitoring. In AWS Console: AppSync > APIs > select API > Settings > configure logging. See: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/appsync/latest/devguide/monitoring.html
Terraform
resource "aws_appsync_graphql_api" "{name}" {
log_config {
cloudwatch_logs_role_arn = aws_iam_role.appsync_logs.arn
field_log_level = "ALL"
}
}
