Options

--name (string)

The name of the control.

--description (string)

The description of the control.

--testing-information (string)

The steps to follow to determine if the control is satisfied.

--action-plan-title (string)

The title of the action plan for remediating the control.

--action-plan-instructions (string)

The recommended actions to carry out if the control isn’t fulfilled.

--control-mapping-sources (list)

The data mapping sources for the control.

(structure)

The control mapping fields that represent the source for evidence collection, along with related parameters and metadata. This doesn’t contain mappingID .

sourceName -> (string)

The name of the control mapping data source.

sourceDescription -> (string)

The description of the data source that determines where Audit Manager collects evidence from for the control.

sourceSetUpOption -> (string)

The setup option for the data source, which reflects if the evidence collection is automated or manual.

sourceType -> (string)

Specifies one of the five types of data sources for evidence collection.

sourceKeyword -> (structure)

The keyword to search for in CloudTrail logs, Config rules, Security Hub checks, and Amazon Web Services API names.

To learn more about the supported keywords that you can use when mapping a control data source, see the following pages in the Audit Manager User Guide :

• Config rules supported by Audit Manager

• Security Hub controls supported by Audit Manager

• API calls supported by Audit Manager

• CloudTrail event names supported by Audit Manager

keywordInputType -> (string)

The input method for the keyword.

keywordValue -> (string)

The value of the keyword that’s used when mapping a control data source. For example, this can be a CloudTrail event name, a rule name for Config, a Security Hub control, or the name of an Amazon Web Services API call.

If you’re mapping a data source to a rule in Config, the keywordValue that you specify depends on the type of rule:

• For managed rules , you can use the rule identifier as the keywordValue . You can find the rule identifier from the list of Config managed rules .

  • Managed rule name: s3-bucket-acl-prohibited keywordValue : S3_BUCKET_ACL_PROHIBITED

• For custom rules , you form the keywordValue by adding the Custom_ prefix to the rule name. This prefix distinguishes the rule from a managed rule.

  • Custom rule name: my-custom-config-rule keywordValue : Custom_my-custom-config-rule

• For service-linked rules , you form the keywordValue by adding the Custom_ prefix to the rule name. In addition, you remove the suffix ID that appears at the end of the rule name.

  • Service-linked rule name: CustomRuleForAccount-conformance-pack-szsm1uv0w keywordValue : Custom_CustomRuleForAccount-conformance-pack

  • Service-linked rule name: securityhub-api-gw-cache-encrypted-101104e1 keywordValue : Custom_securityhub-api-gw-cache-encrypted

  • Service-linked rule name: OrgConfigRule-s3-bucket-versioning-enabled-dbgzf8ba keywordValue : Custom_OrgConfigRule-s3-bucket-versioning-enabled

sourceFrequency -> (string)

The frequency of evidence collection for the control mapping source.

troubleshootingText -> (string)

The instructions for troubleshooting the control.

--tags (map)

The tags that are associated with the control.

JSON Syntax:

{"string": "string"

--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. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.
