What CGPulse checks

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

How to fix it

Enable partitioning to improve throughput and availability. In Azure Portal: Service Bus > Topics > create topic with Partitioning enabled. See: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/service-bus-messaging/service-bus-partitioning

CLI

az servicebus topic create -g "{rg}" --namespace-name "<namespace-name>" -n "<topic-name>" --enable-partitioning true

Bicep

resource topic 'Microsoft.ServiceBus/namespaces/topics@2024-01-01' = {
  name: '<topic-name>'
  parent: serviceBusNamespace
  properties: {
    enablePartitioning: true
  }
}

Terraform

resource "azurerm_servicebus_topic" "{name}" {
  name                = "<topic-name>"
  namespace_id        = azurerm_servicebus_namespace.{name}.id
  enable_partitioning = true
}
