Create Index

Turns on Amazon Web Services Resource Explorer in the Amazon Web Services Region in which you called this operation by creating an index¶
Description¶
Turns on Amazon Web Services Resource Explorer in the Amazon Web
Services Region in which you called this operation by creating an index.
Resource Explorer begins discovering the resources in this Region and
stores the details about the resources in the index so that they can be
queried by using the search
operation. You can create only one index
in a Region.
This operation creates only a local index. To promote the local index
in one Amazon Web Services Region into the aggregator index for the
Amazon Web Services account, use the update_index_type
operation. For
more information, see Turning on cross-Region search by creating an
aggregator
index
in the Amazon Web Services Resource Explorer User Guide.
For more details about what happens when you turn on Resource Explorer in an Amazon Web Services Region, see Turn on Resource Explorer to index your resources in an Amazon Web Services Region in the Amazon Web Services Resource Explorer User Guide.
If this is the first Amazon Web Services Region in which you've created an index for Resource Explorer, then this operation also creates a service-linked role in your Amazon Web Services account that allows Resource Explorer to enumerate your resources to populate the index.
-
Action:
resource-explorer-2:CreateIndex
Resource: The ARN of the index (as it will exist after the operation completes) in the Amazon Web Services Region and account in which you're trying to create the index. Use the wildcard character (
*
) at the end of the string to match the eventual UUID. For example, the followingResource
element restricts the role or user to creating an index in only theus-east-2
Region of the specified account."Resource": "arn:aws:resource-explorer-2:us-west-2:<account-id>:index/*"
Alternatively, you can use
"Resource": "*"
to allow the role or user to create an index in any Region. -
Action:
iam:CreateServiceLinkedRole
Resource: No specific resource (*).
This permission is required only the first time you create an index to turn on Resource Explorer in the account. Resource Explorer uses this to create the service-linked role needed to index the resources in your account. Resource Explorer uses the same service-linked role for all additional indexes you create afterwards.
Usage¶
Arguments¶
ClientToken
This value helps ensure idempotency. Resource Explorer uses this value to prevent the accidental creation of duplicate versions. We recommend that you generate a UUID-type value to ensure the uniqueness of your index.
Tags
The specified tags are attached only to the index created in this Amazon Web Services Region. The tags aren't attached to any of the resources listed in the index.
Value¶
A list with the following syntax:
list(
Arn = "string",
CreatedAt = as.POSIXct(
"2015-01-01"
),
State = "CREATING"|"ACTIVE"|"DELETING"|"DELETED"|"UPDATING"
)
