Enable RDS Protection​

For Multi-Account Environments​

In a multi-account environment, only the delegated GuardDuty administrator account can enable or disable RDS Protection for member accounts. Member accounts cannot modify this configuration directly.

From Command Line​

aws guardduty update-member-detectors \
    --detector-id {{detector-id}} \
    --account-ids {{account-id1}} {{account-id2}} \
    --region {{region}} \
    --features 'Name=RDS_LOGIN_EVENTS,Status=ENABLED'

The delegated administrator can also automatically enable RDS Protection for all and new accounts as they join the organization.

aws guardduty update-organization-configuration \
    --detector-id {{detector-id}} \
    --region {{region}} \
    --features 'Name=RDS_LOGIN_EVENTS,AutoEnable={{NEW | ALL}}'

For a Standalone Account​

If your account is not associated with a delegated GuardDuty administrator via AWS Organizations, enable RDS Protection directly:

aws guardduty update-detector \
    --detector-id {{detector-id}} \
    --region {{region}} \
    --features 'Name=RDS_LOGIN_EVENTS,Status=ENABLED'
