Module: guardduty

This module enables AWS GuardDuty in one region of one account and optionally sets up an SNS topic to receive notifications of its findings.

Usage

Here's how to invoke this example module in your projects

module "example" {
source = "https://github.com/cloudposse/terraform-aws-guardduty.git?ref=master"

create_sns_topic = true
subscribers = {
opsgenie = {
protocol = "https"
endpoint = "https://api.example.com/v1/"
endpoint_auto_confirms = true
}
}
}

Inputs

NameDescriptionTypeDefaultRequired
additional_tag_mapAdditional 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.
map(string){}no
attributesID 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.
list(string)[]no
cloudwatch_event_rule_pattern_detail_typeThe detail-type pattern used to match events that will be sent to SNS.

string"GuardDuty Finding"no
contextSingle 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.

no
create_sns_topicFlag to indicate whether an SNS topic should be created for notifications.
If you want to send findings to a new SNS topic, set this to true and provide a valid configuration for subscribers.
boolfalseno
delimiterDelimiter to be used between ID elements.
Defaults to - (hyphen). Set to "" to use no delimiter at all.
stringnullno
descriptor_formatsDescribe 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).
any{}no
enable_cloudwatchFlag to indicate whether an CloudWatch logging should be enabled for GuardDutyboolfalseno
enabledSet to false to prevent the module from creating any resourcesboolnullno
environmentID element. Usually used for region e.g. 'uw2', 'us-west-2', OR role 'prod', 'staging', 'dev', 'UAT'stringnullno
finding_publishing_frequencyThe frequency of notifications sent for finding occurrences. If the detector is a GuardDuty member account, the value
is determined by the GuardDuty master account and cannot be modified, otherwise it defaults to SIX_HOURS.

For standalone and GuardDuty master accounts, it must be configured in Terraform to enable drift detection.
Valid values for standalone and master accounts: FIFTEEN_MINUTES, ONE_HOUR, SIX_HOURS."

For more information, see:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/guardduty/latest/ug/guardduty_findings_cloudwatch.html#guardduty_findings_cloudwatch_notification_frequency
stringnullno
findings_notification_arnThe ARN for an SNS topic to send findings notifications to. This is only used if create_sns_topic is false.
If you want to send findings to an existing SNS topic, set the value of this to the ARN of the existing topic and set
create_sns_topic to false.
stringnullno
id_length_limitLimit id to this many characters (minimum 6).
Set to 0 for unlimited length.
Set to null for keep the existing setting, which defaults to 0.
Does not affect id_full.
numbernullno
label_key_caseControls the letter case of the tags keys (label names) for tags generated by this module.
Does not affect keys of tags passed in via the tags input.
Possible values: lower, title, upper.
Default value: title.
stringnullno
label_orderThe order in which the labels (ID elements) appear in the id.
Defaults to ["namespace", "environment", "stage", "name", "attributes"].
You can omit any of the 6 labels ("tenant" is the 6th), but at least one must be present.
list(string)nullno
label_value_caseControls 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.
stringnullno
labels_as_tagsSet 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.
Unlike other null-label inputs, the initial setting of labels_as_tags cannot be
changed in later chained modules. Attempts to change it will be silently ignored.
set(string)
[
"default"
]
no
nameID element. Usually the component or solution name, e.g. 'app' or 'jenkins'.
This is the only ID element not also included as a tag.
The "name" tag is set to the full id string. There is no tag with the value of the name input.
stringnullno
namespaceID element. Usually an abbreviation of your organization name, e.g. 'eg' or 'cp', to help ensure generated IDs are globally uniquestringnullno
regex_replace_charsTerraform regular expression (regex) string.
Characters matching the regex will be removed from the ID elements.
If not set, "/[^a-zA-Z0-9-]/" is used to remove all characters other than hyphens, letters and digits.
stringnullno
s3_protection_enabledFlag to indicate whether S3 protection will be turned on in GuardDuty.

boolfalseno
stageID element. Usually used to indicate role, e.g. 'prod', 'staging', 'source', 'build', 'test', 'deploy', 'release'stringnullno
subscribersA map of subscription configurations for SNS topics

For more information, see:
https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/latest/docs/resources/sns_topic_subscription#argument-reference

protocol:
The protocol to use. The possible values for this are: sqs, sms, lambda, application. (http or https are partially
supported, see link) (email is an option but is unsupported in terraform, see link).
endpoint:
The endpoint to send data to, the contents will vary with the protocol. (see link for more information)
endpoint_auto_confirms:
Boolean indicating whether the end point is capable of auto confirming subscription e.g., PagerDuty. Default is
false
raw_message_delivery:
Boolean indicating whether or not to enable raw message delivery (the original message is directly passed, not wrapped in JSON with the original message in the message property).
Default is false
map(object({
protocol = string
endpoint = string
endpoint_auto_confirms = bool
raw_message_delivery = bool
}))
{}no
tagsAdditional tags (e.g. {'BusinessUnit': 'XYZ'}).
Neither the tag keys nor the tag values will be modified by this module.
map(string){}no
