Redshift Solution

The Enterprise Auditor Redshift Solution Set is a comprehensive set of pre-configured audit jobs and reports that provide visibility into various aspects of Redshift: Data Collection, Configuration, and Sensitive Data.

The Redshift Solution requires a special Enterprise Auditor license. Additionally, the Sensitive Data Discovery Add-On enables the solution to search Redshift and AWS content for sensitive data.

Supported Platforms

  • Amazon AWS Redshift
  • AWS Redshift Cluster

Requirements, Permissions, and Ports

See the Target Redshift Requirements, Permissions, and Ports topic for additional information.

Sensitive Data Discovery Considerations

The Sensitive Data Discovery Add-On must be installed on the Enterprise Auditor Console server, which enables Sensitive Data criteria for scans. If running Sensitive Data Discovery (SDD) scans, it will be necessary to increase the minimum amount of RAM. Each thread requires a minimum of 2 additional GB of RAM per host. For example, if the job is configured to scan 8 hosts at a time , then an extra 16 GB of RAM are required (8x2=16).

By default, the job is configured to use 10 threads, which can be adjusted based on available resources on the Enterprise Auditor server.

NOTE: The Sensitive Data Discovery Add-on installation package installs the appropriate JDK (Java) version on the server. The JDK deployed is prepackaged and does not require any configuration; it has been preconfigured to work with Enterprise Auditor and should never be customized through Java. It will not conflict with other JDKs or Java Runtimes in the same environment.

Location

The Redshift Solution requires a special Enterprise Auditor license. It can be installed from the Enterprise Auditor Instant Job Wizard. Once it has been installed in the Jobs tree, navigate to the solution: Jobs > Databases > Redshift Solution.

The 0.Collection Job Group discovers SQL instances on the target hosts, and collects the data. The other job groups analyze the collected data and generate reports.

The Database Solution license includes all supported database platforms supported by Enterprise Auditor. Additionally, the Sensitive Data Discovery Add-On enables the solution to search database content for sensitive data.
