What CGPulse checks
A resource passes this rule when tracingConfig.mode must equal Active. Anything else is reported as a finding with the evaluated property value attached as evidence.
How to fix it
Enable X-Ray active tracing for distributed tracing and performance analysis. In AWS Console: Lambda > Functions > select function > Configuration > Monitoring > enable Active tracing. See: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/services-xray.html
Terraform
resource "aws_lambda_function" "{name}" {
tracing_config {
mode = "Active"
}
}
