athena

This component is responsible for provisioning an Amazon Athena workgroup, databases, and related resources.

Usage

Stack Level: Regional

Here are some example snippets for how to use this component:

stacks/catalog/athena/defaults.yaml file (base component for all Athena deployments with default settings):

CloudTrail Integration

Using Athena with CloudTrail logs is a powerful way to enhance your analysis of AWS service activity. This component supports creating a CloudTrail table for each account and setting up queries to read CloudTrail logs from a centralized location.

To set up the CloudTrail Integration, first create the create and alter queries in Athena with this component. When var.cloudtrail_database is defined, this component will create these queries.

import:
  - catalog/athena/defaults

components:
  terraform:
    athena/audit:
      metadata:
        component: athena
        inherits:
          - athena/defaults
      vars:
        enabled: true
        name: athena-audit
        workgroup_description: "Athena Workgroup for Auditing"
        cloudtrail_database: audit
        databases:
          audit:
            comment: "Auditor database for Athena"
            properties: {}
        named_queries:
          platform_dev:
            database: audit
            description: "example query against CloudTrail logs"
            query: |
              SELECT
               useridentity.arn,
               eventname,
               sourceipaddress,
               eventtime
              FROM %s.platform_dev_cloudtrail_logs
              LIMIT 100;

Once those are created, run the create and then the alter queries in the AWS Console to create and then fill the tables in Athena.

info

Athena runs queries with the permissions of the user executing the query. In order to be able to query CloudTrail logs, the audit account must have access to the KMS key used to encrypt CloudTrails logs. Set var.audit_access_enabled to true in the cloudtrail component

Context Variables

The following variables are defined in the context.tf file of this module and part of the terraform-null-label pattern.

additional_tag_map (map(string)) optional

Additional key-value pairs to add to each map in tags_as_list_of_maps. Not added to tags or id.
This is for some rare cases where resources want additional configuration of tags
and therefore take a list of maps with tag key, value, and additional configuration.

Required: No

Default value: { }

attributes (list(string)) optional

ID element. Additional attributes (e.g. workers or cluster) to add to id,
in the order they appear in the list. New attributes are appended to the
end of the list. The elements of the list are joined by the delimiter
and treated as a single ID element.

Required: No

Default value: [ ]

context (any) optional

Single object for setting entire context at once.
See description of individual variables for details.
Leave string and numeric variables as null to use default value.
Individual variable settings (non-null) override settings in context object,
except for attributes, tags, and additional_tag_map, which are merged.

Required: No

Default value:

{
  "additional_tag_map": {},
  "attributes": [],
  "delimiter": null,
  "descriptor_formats": {},
  "enabled": true,
  "environment": null,

Describe additional descriptors to be output in the descriptors output map.
Map of maps. Keys are names of descriptors. Values are maps of the form
\{<br/> format = string<br/> labels = list(string)<br/> \}
(Type is any so the map values can later be enhanced to provide additional options.)
format is a Terraform format string to be passed to the format() function.
labels is a list of labels, in order, to pass to format() function.
Label values will be normalized before being passed to format() so they will be
identical to how they appear in id.
Default is {} (descriptors output will be empty).

Required: No

Default value: { }

enabled (bool) optional

Set to false to prevent the module from creating any resources
Required: No

Default value: null

Controls the letter case of ID elements (labels) as included in id,
set as tag values, and output by this module individually.
Does not affect values of tags passed in via the tags input.
Possible values: lower, title, upper and none (no transformation).
Set this to title and set delimiter to "" to yield Pascal Case IDs.
Default value: lower.

Required: No

Default value: null

labels_as_tags (set(string)) optional

Set of labels (ID elements) to include as tags in the tags output.
Default is to include all labels.
Tags with empty values will not be included in the tags output.
Set to [] to suppress all generated tags.
Notes:
The value of the name tag, if included, will be the id, not the name.
