get-compliance-details-by-config-rule¶

Description¶

Returns the evaluation results for the specified Config rule. The results indicate which Amazon Web Services resources were evaluated by the rule, when each resource was last evaluated, and whether each resource complies with the rule.

Synopsis¶

  get-compliance-details-by-config-rule
--config-rule-name <value>
[--compliance-types <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--starting-token <value>]
[--page-size <value>]
[--max-items <value>]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--config-rule-name (string)

The name of the Config rule for which you want compliance information.

--compliance-types (list)

Filters the results by compliance.

The allowed values are COMPLIANT , NON_COMPLIANT , and NOT_APPLICABLE .

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

Where valid values are:
  COMPLIANT
  NON_COMPLIANT
  NOT_APPLICABLE
  INSUFFICIENT_DATA

--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.

--starting-token (string)

A token to specify where to start paginating. This is the NextToken from a previously truncated response.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--page-size (integer)

The size of each page to get in the AWS service call. This does not affect the number of items returned in the command’s output. Setting a smaller page size results in more calls to the AWS service, retrieving fewer items in each call. This can help prevent the AWS service calls from timing out.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--max-items (integer)

The total number of items to return in the command’s output. If the total number of items available is more than the value specified, a NextToken is provided in the command’s output. To resume pagination, provide the NextToken value in the starting-token argument of a subsequent command. Do not use the NextToken response element directly outside of the AWS CLI.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--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.

Examples¶

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

To get the evaluation results for an AWS Config rule

The following command returns the evaluation results for all of the resources that don’t comply with an AWS Config rule named InstanceTypesAreT2micro:

aws configservice get-compliance-details-by-config-rule --config-rule-name InstanceTypesAreT2micro --compliance-types NON_COMPLIANT

Output:

Output¶

EvaluationResults -> (list)

Indicates whether the Amazon Web Services resource complies with the specified Config rule.

(structure)

The details of an Config evaluation. Provides the Amazon Web Services resource that was evaluated, the compliance of the resource, related time stamps, and supplementary information.

EvaluationResultIdentifier -> (structure)

Uniquely identifies the evaluation result.

EvaluationResultQualifier -> (structure)

Identifies an Config rule used to evaluate an Amazon Web Services resource, and provides the type and ID of the evaluated resource.

ConfigRuleName -> (string)

The name of the Config rule that was used in the evaluation.

ResourceType -> (string)

The type of Amazon Web Services resource that was evaluated.

ResourceId -> (string)

The ID of the evaluated Amazon Web Services resource.

OrderingTimestamp -> (timestamp)

The time of the event that triggered the evaluation of your Amazon Web Services resources. The time can indicate when Config delivered a configuration item change notification, or it can indicate when Config delivered the configuration snapshot, depending on which event triggered the evaluation.

ComplianceType -> (string)

Indicates whether the Amazon Web Services resource complies with the Config rule that evaluated it.

For the EvaluationResult data type, Config supports only the COMPLIANT , NON_COMPLIANT , and NOT_APPLICABLE values. Config does not support the INSUFFICIENT_DATA value for the EvaluationResult data type.

ResultRecordedTime -> (timestamp)

The time when Config recorded the evaluation result.

ConfigRuleInvokedTime -> (timestamp)

The time when the Config rule evaluated the Amazon Web Services resource.

Annotation -> (string)

Supplementary information about how the evaluation determined the compliance.

ResultToken -> (string)

An encrypted token that associates an evaluation with an Config rule. The token identifies the rule, the Amazon Web Services resource being evaluated, and the event that triggered the evaluation.

NextToken -> (string)

The string that you use in a subsequent request to get the next page of results in a paginated response.
