Description

This control ensures existing Amazon RDS event subscriptions for database parameter groups have notifications enabled for configuration change events. The control skips if no RDS DB parameter group subscriptions exist in your account. The control fails if an event subscription exists but does not include the required categories.

RDS event notifications leverage Amazon SNS to alert you about changes in the availability or configuration of your RDS resources, enabling quick response. For further details on RDS event notifications, refer to the Using Amazon RDS event notification section in the Amazon RDS User Guide.

To subscribe to RDS event notifications, refer to the Subscribing to Amazon RDS event notification section in the Amazon RDS User Guide.
