Wafv2 acl rule group logging enabled remediation

Using Console

Using CLI

To remediate the misconfiguration for WAFv2 WebACL Rule Group Logging in AWS CloudWatch using AWS CLI, follow these steps:

List all the WAFv2 WebACLs in your AWS account to identify the WebACL Rule Group for which logging needs to be enabled:

aws wafv2 list-web-acls

Get the details of the specific WebACL Rule Group that needs logging enabled:

aws wafv2 get-web-acl --name <WebACL-Name>

Enable logging for the identified WebACL Rule Group by updating its configuration:

aws wafv2 update-web-acl --name <WebACL-Name> --scope REGIONAL --default-action ALLOW --visibility-config SampledRequestsEnabled=true,CloudWatchMetricsEnabled=true,ManagedByFirewallManager=false --rules 'Action=ALLOW,Priority=1,RuleLabels=[{Name=SampleRuleLabel}],Statement={ByteMatchStatement={FieldToMatch={UriPath={}},PositionalConstraint=EXACTLY,SearchString="example.com"},VisibilityConfig={SampledRequestsEnabled=true,CloudWatchMetricsEnabled=true,ManagedByFirewallManager=false}'

Verify that the logging is enabled for the WebACL Rule Group:

aws wafv2 get-web-acl --name <WebACL-Name>

By following these steps, you can successfully remediate the misconfiguration and enable logging for the WAFv2 WebACL Rule Group in AWS CloudWatch using AWS CLI.

Using Python

To remediate the misconfiguration of WAFv2 WebACL Rule Group Logging not being enabled in AWS CloudWatch using Python, you can use the AWS SDK for Python (Boto3) to programmatically enable logging for the WebACL Rule Group. Below are the step-by-step instructions to remediate this issue:

Install Boto3: Make sure you have the Boto3 library installed. You can install it using pip:

pip install boto3

Configure AWS Credentials: Ensure that you have configured your AWS credentials either by setting environment variables or using AWS CLI aws configure command.
Write a Python script: Create a Python script with the following code to enable logging for the WAFv2 WebACL Rule Group:

import boto3

# Initialize the WAFv2 client
wafv2_client = boto3.client('wafv2')

# Specify the WebACL ARN for which you want to enable logging
web_acl_arn = 'YOUR_WEB_ACL_ARN'

# Enable logging for the specified WebACL
response = wafv2_client.put_logging_configuration(
    LoggingConfiguration={
        'ResourceArn': web_acl_arn,
        'LogDestinationConfigs': [
            'arn:aws:logs:REGION:ACCOUNT_ID:log-group:LOG_GROUP_NAME'
        ],
        'RedactedFields': []
    }
)

print("Logging enabled for WebACL Rule Group with ARN:", web_acl_arn)

Replace the placeholders:
- Replace YOUR_WEB_ACL_ARN with the ARN of the WebACL Rule Group for which you want to enable logging.
- Replace REGION, ACCOUNT_ID, and LOG_GROUP_NAME in the LogDestinationConfigs with your AWS region, account ID, and the name of the CloudWatch Logs log group where you want to store the logs.
Run the Python script: Execute the Python script to enable logging for the specified WebACL Rule Group. Make sure the script runs successfully without any errors.

By following these steps and running the Python script, you can remediate the misconfiguration of WAFv2 WebACL Rule Group Logging not being enabled in AWS CloudWatch.
