rds.NewCluster InvalidParameterCombination error when trying to enable advanced DBInsights Mode

[raywonkari]

Describe what happened

I am trying to enable the advanced db insights mode on an existing RDS cluster.. It already has performance insights enable and the default 7 day retention period set.

I have updated the provider to the latest v6.71.0 version, where the DBInsights feature was shipped.

When trying to set the advanced mode and with the retention period of 465 days, I get the InvalidParameterCombination error.

Full error:

InvalidParameterCombination: To enable the Advanced mode of Database Insights, modify your cluster to enable Performance Insights and set the retention period for Performance Insights to at least 465 days.: [email protected]

Sample program

rdsClusterArgs := rds.ClusterArgs{
  // other parameters
  PerformanceInsightsEnabled: pulumi.Bool(true),
  PerformanceInsightsRetentionPeriod: pulumi.Int(465)
  DatabaseInsightsMode: pulumi.String("advanced"),
}

auroradb, err := rds.NewCluster(ctx, dbName, &rdsClusterArgs, nil)

I just tried to manually modify the cluster from the console and then run pulumi, it succeeded but in the first run it fails, so I am not sure if its pulumi/terraform or the AWS API rejecting the first request..

@raywonkari thanks for reporting the issue. Can you provide a full example of your cluster configuration? I want to make sure I can reproduce it with your setup.

[raywonkari]

my code looks something like this

rdsClusterArgs := rds.ClusterArgs{
	AvailabilityZones:          az,
	BackupRetentionPeriod:      pulumi.Int(2),
	ClusterIdentifier:          pulumi.String("my-db"),
	CopyTagsToSnapshot:         pulumi.Bool(true),
	DatabaseName:               pulumi.String("postgres"),
	Engine:                     pulumi.String("aurora-postgresql"),
	EngineVersion:              pulumi.String("14.13"),
	MasterPassword:             pulumi.String("password"),
	MasterUsername:             pulumi.String("postgres"),
	DbSubnetGroupName:          pulumi.String("my-subnet-group"),
	VpcSecurityGroupIds:        pulumi.StringArray{
		pulumi.String("my-sg-id")
	},
	StorageEncrypted:           pulumi.BoolPtr(true),
	EnabledCloudwatchLogsExports: pulumi.StringArray{
		pulumi.String("postgresql"),
	},
	DbClusterParameterGroupName:        pulumi.String("my-cluster-pg"),
	IamDatabaseAuthenticationEnabled:   pulumi.Bool(true),
	MonitoringInterval:                 pulumi.Int(30),
	MonitoringRoleArn:                  pulumi.String("my-monitoring-role-arn"),
	PerformanceInsightsEnabled:         pulumi.Bool(true),
	DatabaseInsightsMode:               pulumi.String("advanced"),
	PerformanceInsightsRetentionPeriod: pulumi.Int(465),
}

auroradb, err := rds.NewCluster(ctx, dbName, &rdsClusterArgs)

I hope this example is good enough to reproduce..
