put-configuration-recorder

Description

Creates a new configuration recorder to record the selected resource configurations.

You can use this action to change the role roleARN or the recordingGroup of an existing recorder. To change the role, call the action on the existing configuration recorder and specify a role.

Note

Currently, you can specify only one configuration recorder per region in your account.

If ConfigurationRecorder does not have the recordingGroup parameter specified, the default is to record all supported resource types.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Synopsis

  put-configuration-recorder
--configuration-recorder <value>
[--recording-group <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--configuration-recorder (structure)

The configuration recorder object that records each configuration change made to the resources.

name -> (string)

The name of the recorder. By default, Config automatically assigns the name “default” when creating the configuration recorder. You cannot change the assigned name.

roleARN -> (string)

Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM role used to describe the Amazon Web Services resources associated with the account.

Shorthand Syntax:

name=string,roleARN=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "name": "string",
  "roleARN": "string"
}

--recording-group (structure)

Specifies the types of Amazon Web Services resources for which Config records configuration changes.

allSupported -> (boolean)

Specifies whether Config records configuration changes for every supported type of regional resource.

If you set this option to true , when Config adds support for a new type of regional resource, it starts recording resources of that type automatically.

If you set this option to true , you cannot enumerate a list of resourceTypes .

includeGlobalResourceTypes -> (boolean)

Specifies whether Config includes all supported types of global resources (for example, IAM resources) with the resources that it records.

Before you can set this option to true , you must set the allSupported option to true .

If you set this option to true , when Config adds support for a new type of global resource, it starts recording resources of that type automatically.

The configuration details for any global resource are the same in all regions. To prevent duplicate configuration items, you should consider customizing Config in only one region to record global resources.

resourceTypes -> (list)

A comma-separated list that specifies the types of Amazon Web Services resources for which Config records configuration changes (for example, AWS::EC2::Instance or AWS::CloudTrail::Trail ).

To record all configuration changes, you must set the allSupported option to true .

If you set this option to false , when Config adds support for a new type of resource, it will not record resources of that type unless you manually add that type to your recording group.

For a list of valid resourceTypes values, see the resourceType Value column in Supported Amazon Web Services resource Types .

(string)

Shorthand Syntax:

allSupported=boolean,includeGlobalResourceTypes=boolean,resourceTypes=string,string

JSON Syntax:

}

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples

To record all supported resources

The following command creates a configuration recorder that tracks changes to all supported resource types, including global resource types:

aws configservice put-configuration-recorder --configuration-recorder name=default,roleARN=arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/config-role --recording-group allSupported=true,includeGlobalResourceTypes=true

To record specific types of resources

The following command creates a configuration recorder that tracks changes to only those types of resources that are specified in the JSON file for the –recording-group option:

aws configservice put-configuration-recorder --configuration-recorder name=default,roleARN=arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/config-role --recording-group file://recordingGroup.json

recordingGroup.json is a JSON file that specifies the types of resources that AWS Config will record:

{
  "allSupported": false,
  "includeGlobalResourceTypes": false,
  "resourceTypes": [
    "AWS::EC2::EIP",
    "AWS::EC2::Instance",
    "AWS::EC2::NetworkAcl",
    "AWS::EC2::SecurityGroup",
    "AWS::CloudTrail::Trail",
    "AWS::EC2::Volume",
    "AWS::EC2::VPC",
    "AWS::IAM::User",
    "AWS::IAM::Policy"
  ]
}

Before you can specify resource types for the resourceTypes key, you must set the allSupported and includeGlobalResourceTypes options to false or omit them.

If the command succeeds, AWS Config returns no output. To verify the settings of your configuration recorder, run the describe-configuration-recorders command.
