1. Login to AWS Console: Go to the AWS Management Console (https://aws.amazon.com/console/) and login using your credentials.
2. Navigate to DynamoDB Service: From the list of AWS services, click on “DynamoDB” to open the DynamoDB dashboard.
3. Select the Table: In the DynamoDB dashboard, select the table for which you want to remediate the misconfiguration related to Kinesis Stream Shard Level Metrics.
4. Edit Table Settings:
   • Click on the “Overview” tab for the selected table.
   • Scroll down to the “Table details” section and click on the “Manage stream” button.
5. Update Stream Settings:
   • In the “Manage stream” dialog box, select the option to enable the stream for the DynamoDB table.
   • Choose the stream view type as “New and old images” or “New images” based on your requirements.
   • Click on the “Create” button to save the changes.
6. Verify Configuration:
   • Once the stream is enabled for the DynamoDB table, verify that the Kinesis Stream Shard Level Metrics are now active and functioning properly.

​

1. Open your terminal and configure AWS CLI with the necessary credentials by running the following command:

aws configure

2. Enable Kinesis Stream Shard Level Metrics for the DynamoDB table using the AWS CLI by running the following command:

aws dynamodb update-continuous-backups --table-name YOUR_TABLE_NAME --point-in-time-recovery-specification PointInTimeRecoveryEnabled=true

3. Verify that Kinesis Stream Shard Level Metrics have been successfully enabled for the DynamoDB table by running the following command:

aws dynamodb describe-continuous-backups --table-name YOUR_TABLE_NAME

1. Install boto3: If you haven’t already, install the boto3 library in Python. You can do this using pip by running the following command:
   pip install boto3
   
2. Update the CloudWatch Metrics Configuration: Use the following Python script to update the CloudWatch Metrics configuration for the DynamoDB table:

import boto3

def update_dynamodb_cloudwatch_metrics(table_name):
    client = boto3.client('dynamodb')

    response = client.update_continuous_backups(
        TableName=table_name,
        PointInTimeRecoverySpecification={
            'PointInTimeRecoveryEnabled': True
        }
    )

    print(response)

# Replace 'your_table_name' with the name of your DynamoDB table
update_dynamodb_cloudwatch_metrics('your_table_name')

3. Run the Python Script: Save the above Python script in a file, and run it in your Python environment. This script will enable continuous backups for the specified DynamoDB table, which will ensure that the CloudWatch Metrics for the table are properly configured.

resource "aws_kinesis_stream" "THIS_STREAM" {
  name             = "REPLACE_WITH_STREAM_NAME"
  shard_count      = REPLACE_WITH_DESIRED_SHARD_COUNT

  # Enable all shard-level enhanced monitoring metrics
  shard_level_metrics = ["ALL"]
}

• REPLACE_WITH_STREAM_NAME with your Kinesis stream name.
• REPLACE_WITH_DESIRED_SHARD_COUNT with the intended shard count (integer).
