ASSOCIATED DRATA CONTROL
This test is part of the NoSQL Database Monitored and Alarmed control that ensures your company has implemented tools to monitor NoSQL databases and notify appropriate personnel of any events or incidents based on predetermined criteria.
WHAT TO DO IF A TEST FAILS
If Drata detects that NoSQL cluster storage utilization monitoring is not enabled or that alerts have not been properly set up the test will fail. With a failed test you will receive a list of databases that lack NoSQL cluster storage utilization monitoring or administrative alerts.
To remediate a failed test, you will need to set up and configure NoSQL cluster storage utilization monitoring for the reported databases to ensure they are monitored with alerts being sent to DB admins in an event or incident.
STEPS FOR PASSING
To ensure a validated state when testing for monitoring of NoSQL cluster storage utilization, please follow the steps listed in the table below. Once the provider steps have been completed, navigate back to Drata and execute the test.
NOTE: The Datadog integration does not support this test. There is no need to set up an alarm in Datadog or AWS for DynamoDB NoSQL resources. Drata will automatically pass all AWS DynamoDB instances, since they employ autoscaling.
