Ensure CloudTrail is integrated with CloudWatch Logs
CloudTrail should send logs to CloudWatch Logs for centralized log management and metric filter creation.
Security Impact
Without CloudWatch integration, automated alerting and monitoring of CloudTrail events is not possible.
How to Remediate
Update trail to include CloudWatch Logs log group ARN and IAM role ARN for log delivery.
