Es logging enabled remediation

Using Console

Using CLI

To remediate the ElasticSearch logging misconfiguration in AWS using AWS CLI, follow these steps:

Open the AWS CLI on your local machine or EC2 instance.
Run the following command to enable logging for your ElasticSearch domain:

aws es update-elasticsearch-domain-config --domain-name <domain-name> --elasticsearch-cluster-config '{"CloudWatchLogsLogGroupArn":"<log-group-arn>","LogPublishingOptions":{"INDEX_SLOW_LOGS":{"CloudWatchLogsLogGroupArn":"<log-group-arn>","Enabled":true},"SEARCH_SLOW_LOGS":{"CloudWatchLogsLogGroupArn":"<log-group-arn>","Enabled":true},"ES_APPLICATION_LOGS":{"CloudWatchLogsLogGroupArn":"<log-group-arn>","Enabled":true},"AUDIT_LOGS":{"CloudWatchLogsLogGroupArn":"<log-group-arn>","Enabled":true}}}'

Replace <domain-name> with the name of your ElasticSearch domain and <log-group-arn> with the ARN of the CloudWatch Logs log group where you want to store your ElasticSearch logs.

Verify that logging is enabled by running the following command:

aws es describe-elasticsearch-domain-config --domain-name <domain-name>

This will return the current configuration of your ElasticSearch domain. Check that the LogPublishingOptions property has the correct values for each log type.

Wait for a few minutes for the changes to take effect and start seeing the logs in your CloudWatch Logs log group.

By following these steps, you have successfully remediated the ElasticSearch logging misconfiguration in AWS using AWS CLI.

Using Python

To remediate the misconfiguration of ElasticSearch not having logging enabled in AWS using Python, you can follow these steps:

Install the AWS SDK for Python (Boto3) using pip:

pip install boto3

Create an AWS ElasticSearch client using Boto3:

import boto3

es_client = boto3.client('es')

Check if logging is enabled for the ElasticSearch domain:

domain_name = 'your-domain-name'

logging_config = es_client.describe_elasticsearch_domain_config(
    DomainName=domain_name,
    DeploymentName='log-publishing'
)['DomainConfig']['LogPublishingOptions']

if logging_config:
    print('Logging is already enabled for the ElasticSearch domain.')
else:
    print('Logging is not enabled for the ElasticSearch domain.')

If logging is not enabled, enable it by updating the ElasticSearch domain configuration:

logging_config = {
    'ES_APPLICATION_LOGS': {
        'CloudWatchLogsLogGroupArn': 'your-log-group-arn',
        'Enabled': True
    }
}

response = es_client.update_elasticsearch_domain_config(
    DomainName=domain_name,
    LogPublishingOptions=logging_config
)

print('Logging has been enabled for the ElasticSearch domain.')

Note: You will need to replace your-domain-name and your-log-group-arn with your own domain name and CloudWatch Logs log group ARN, respectively.
