Description​

This policy checks that AWS DMS Replication Tasks have CloudWatch logging enabled for key replication components. It verifies that the following components are configured to emit logs at the default severity level or higher:

  • TARGET_APPLY - Data and DDL statements applied to the target database.
  • TARGET_LOAD - Data batches being loaded into the target database.
  • SOURCE_CAPTURE - Change data capture (CDC) records sourced from the origin database or service and handed off to the DMS sorter.
  • SOURCE_UNLOAD - Data extracted from the source database during full-load operations.

DMS supports the following log severity levels, each inclusive of messages from all lower tiers:

  • LOGGER_SEVERITY_ERROR - Only error events.
  • LOGGER_SEVERITY_WARNING - Warnings and error events.
  • LOGGER_SEVERITY_INFO - Informational, warning, and error events.
  • LOGGER_SEVERITY_DEFAULT - Default informational, warning, and error events (equivalent to INFO).
  • LOGGER_SEVERITY_DEBUG - Debug, informational, warning, and error events.

Remediation​

From Command Line​

To enable CloudWatch logging for all key components on an existing AWS DMS Replication Task, use the AWS CLI's modify-replication-task command with an updated Settings JSON payload.

Retrieve the current task settings​
aws dms describe-replication-tasks \
    --filters Name=replication-task-arn,Values={{replication-task-arn}} \
    --query "ReplicationTasks[0].ReplicationTaskSettings" \
    --output json > {{current-settings}}.json
Update settings to include Logging​
