What CGPulse checks

A resource passes this rule when isMultiRegionTrail must equal true AND isLogging must equal true. Anything else is reported as a finding with the evaluated property value attached as evidence.

How to fix it

Enable multi-region trail to log API activity across all AWS regions. In AWS Console: CloudTrail > Trails > Create trail > enable for all regions. See: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/receive-cloudtrail-log-files-from-multiple-regions.html

Terraform

resource "aws_cloudtrail" "{name}" {
  is_multi_region_trail = true
  enable_logging        = true
}
