Mq cloudwatch audit logging enabled remediation

Using Console

Using CLI

To remediate the misconfiguration of MQ Brokers having CloudWatch audit logging enabled for AWS Security Groups using AWS CLI, follow these steps:

Identify the AWS Security Groups associated with the MQ Brokers:
- Run the following AWS CLI command to list all the AWS Security Groups associated with the MQ Brokers:
  aws mq list-brokers
- Note down the Security Group IDs associated with the MQ Brokers.
Disable CloudWatch audit logging for the identified Security Groups:
- Run the following AWS CLI command for each Security Group ID to disable CloudWatch audit logging:
  aws mq update-broker --broker-id <BROKER_ID> --logging { "audit": false }
Replace <BROKER_ID> with the actual ID of the MQ Broker associated with the Security Group.
Verify the changes:
- Run the following AWS CLI command to describe the MQ Broker and verify that CloudWatch audit logging is disabled for the Security Group:
  aws mq describe-broker --broker-id <BROKER_ID>
Replace <BROKER_ID> with the actual ID of the MQ Broker associated with the Security Group.
Repeat for other Security Groups:
- If there are multiple Security Groups associated with the MQ Brokers, repeat steps 2 and 3 for each Security Group.

By following these steps, you can remediate the misconfiguration of MQ Brokers having CloudWatch audit logging enabled for AWS Security Groups using AWS CLI.

Using Python

To remediate the misconfiguration of MQ Brokers having CloudWatch audit logging enabled for AWS Security Groups using Python, you can follow these steps:

Identify the Security Groups: First, you need to identify the Security Groups associated with your MQ Brokers.
Disable CloudWatch Audit Logging: You can use the AWS SDK for Python (Boto3) to disable CloudWatch audit logging for the identified Security Groups. Here is a sample Python code snippet to achieve this:

import boto3

# Initialize the AWS clients
ec2_client = boto3.client('ec2')

# Specify the Security Group IDs of the MQ Brokers
security_group_ids = ['sg-12345678', 'sg-87654321']

# Disable CloudWatch Audit Logging for each Security Group
for sg_id in security_group_ids:
    response = ec2_client.modify_flow_logs(
        DeliverLogsPermissionArn='',
        LogGroupName='',
        ResourceIds=[sg_id],
        ResourceType='VPC',
        TrafficType='ALL',
        LogDestinationType='cloud-watch-logs',
        LogDestination=''
    )
    print(f"CloudWatch Audit Logging disabled for Security Group {sg_id}")

Run the Python Script: Save the above Python script in a file (e.g., remediate_security_groups.py) and execute it using Python. Make sure you have the necessary IAM permissions to modify the Security Groups.

By following these steps and executing the Python script, you can remediate the misconfiguration of MQ Brokers having CloudWatch audit logging enabled for AWS Security Groups.
