Amazon Aurora zero-ETL for capturing change history

Question

I currently use Aurora MySQL and need to capture history on some tables, currently use a custom solution using custom apllication logic to capture history for a given table. Been looking Amazon Aurora zero-ETL to redshift, is it possible to configure so changes are captured in redshift so I can query history for a given table?

Answer

Hello AC,

To capture and view the history on the tables, you would need to enable audit logging on the table. To accomplish that

1. select the database and click on Modify.
2. In the subsequent screen, scroll all the way to the bottom in the Additional Configuration section and turn on Audit Log in the Log Exports section

You could also follow the steps as described in this [re:Post article](https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/advanced-audit-aurora-mysql-cloudwatch).

To send the logs from CloudWatch to Redshift enable subscriptions by following the steps [here](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/logs/Subscriptions.html).

Hope this helps.
