What CGPulse checks
A resource passes this rule when loggingEnabled must equal true. Anything else is reported as a finding with the evaluated property value attached as evidence.
How to fix it
Enable logging to capture audit and operational events for security investigation. In AWS Console: Resource > Settings > enable logging. See: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/prescriptive-guidance/latest/logging-monitoring-best-practices/welcome.html
Terraform
resource "aws_cloudfront_distribution" "{name}" {
logging_config {
bucket = aws_s3_bucket.cf_logs.bucket_domain_name
}
}
