Description

This control confirms that audit logging is enabled for Elasticsearch domains. Audit logs allow extensive customization, enabling the monitoring of user activities in Elasticsearch clusters. This includes tracking both successful and failed authentication attempts, OpenSearch requests, index modifications, and incoming search queries. This check only verifies that audit logging is enabled, and does not require specific parameters.

Remediation
