aws_redshift_cluster_parameter

Use the aws_redshift_cluster_parameter_groups InSpec audit resource to test properties of some or all AWS Redshift cluster parameter groups.

This resource does not expect any parameters.

For additional information, including details on parameters and properties, see the AWS documentation on Redshift cluster parameter group.

Syntax

Verify that a Parameter group name exists.

describe aws_redshift_cluster_parameter_groups do
  it { should exist }
end

This resource does not require any parameters.

parameter_group_names: The name of a specific parameter group for which to return details. By default, details about all parameter groups and the default parameter group are returned.; Field: parameter_group_name
parameter_group_families: The family of the parameter group.; Field: parameter_group_family
descriptions: The description of the parameter group.; Field: description
tags: The tags of the parameter group.; Field: tags

Ensure a Redshift cluster parameter group has parameter groups:

describe aws_redshift_cluster_parameter_groups do
  it { should exist }
end

Verify the number of Redshift cluster parameter groups:

describe aws_redshift_cluster_parameter_groups do
    its('count') { should eq 5 }
end

Verify the family name exists for at least one of the cluster parameter groups:

describe aws_redshift_cluster_parameter_groups do
   its('parameter_group_families') { should include "FAMILY_NAME" }
end

For a full list of available matchers, see our Universal Matchers page.

This resource has the following special matchers.

The control will pass if the describe returns at least one result.

describe aws_redshift_cluster_parameter_groups do
  it { should exist }
end

Use should_not to test the entity should not exist.

describe aws_redshift_cluster_parameter_groups do
  it { should_not exist }
end

Your AWS principal will need the Redshift:Client:ClusterParameterGroupsMessage action with Effect set to Allow.
