Enable MySQL General Log on Amazon RDS

Question

I found these instructions to turn it on: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_LogAccess.Concepts.MySQL.html

But the Edit Parameters button is disabled:

Am I missing something?

Answer 1

Given the name "default.mysql5.6," it looks like you are trying to edit the default parameter group.

You cannot modify the parameter settings of a default DB parameter group; you must create your own DB parameter group to change parameter settings from their default value.
