Describe Compliance By Resource

configservice_describe_compliance_by_resource R Documentation

Indicates whether the specified Amazon Web Services resources are compliant

Description

Indicates whether the specified Amazon Web Services resources are compliant. If a resource is noncompliant, this operation returns the number of Config rules that the resource does not comply with.

A resource is compliant if it complies with all the Config rules that evaluate it. It is noncompliant if it does not comply with one or more of these rules.

If Config has no current evaluation results for the resource, it returns INSUFFICIENT_DATA. This result might indicate one of the following conditions about the rules that evaluate the resource:

  • Config has never invoked an evaluation for the rule. To check whether it has, use the describe_config_rule_evaluation_status action to get the LastSuccessfulInvocationTime and LastFailedInvocationTime.

  • The rule's Lambda function is failing to send evaluation results to Config. Verify that the role that you assigned to your configuration recorder includes the config:PutEvaluations permission. If the rule is a custom rule, verify that the Lambda execution role includes the config:PutEvaluations permission.

  • The rule's Lambda function has returned NOT_APPLICABLE for all evaluation results. This can occur if the resources were deleted or removed from the rule's scope.

Usage

configservice_describe_compliance_by_resource(ResourceType, ResourceId,
  ComplianceTypes, Limit, NextToken)

Arguments

ResourceType

The types of Amazon Web Services resources for which you want compliance information (for example, ⁠AWS::EC2::Instance⁠). For this operation, you can specify that the resource type is an Amazon Web Services account by specifying ⁠AWS::::Account⁠.
ResourceId

The ID of the Amazon Web Services resource for which you want compliance information. You can specify only one resource ID. If you specify a resource ID, you must also specify a type for ResourceType.
ComplianceTypes

Filters the results by compliance.
Limit

The maximum number of evaluation results returned on each page. The default is 10. You cannot specify a number greater than 100. If you specify 0, Config uses the default.
NextToken

The nextToken string returned on a previous page that you use to get the next page of results in a paginated response.

Value
