Ensure ElastiCache Redis has slow log enabled for performance monitoring
Slow log captures commands that exceed execution time threshold, helping identify performance bottlenecks and inefficient queries.
Security Impact
Without slow log, identifying performance bottlenecks and optimizing cache usage is difficult.
How to Remediate
Configure slowlog-log-slower-than and slowlog-max-len parameters in Redis parameter group to capture slow commands.
