Options

--control-id (string)

The identifier for the control.

--name (string)

The name of the updated control.

--description (string)

The optional description of the control.

--testing-information (string)

The steps that you should follow to determine if the control is met.

--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 data source that determines where Audit Manager collects evidence from for the control.

sourceId -> (string)

The unique identifier for the source.

sourceName -> (string)

The name of the source.

sourceDescription -> (string)

The description of the source.

sourceSetUpOption -> (string)

The setup option for the data source. This option reflects if the evidence collection method is automated or manual. If you don’t provide a value for sourceSetUpOption , Audit Manager automatically infers and populates the correct value based on the sourceType that you specify.

sourceType -> (string)

Specifies which type of data source is used to collect evidence.

  • The source can be an individual data source type, such as AWS_Cloudtrail , AWS_Config , AWS_Security_Hub , AWS_API_Call , or MANUAL .
  • The source can also be a managed grouping of data sources, such as a Core_Control or a Common_Control .

sourceKeyword -> (structure)

A keyword that relates to the control data source.

For manual evidence, this keyword indicates if the manual evidence is a file or text.

For automated evidence, this keyword identifies a specific CloudTrail event, Config rule, Security Hub control, or Amazon Web Services API name.

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 :

keywordInputType -> (string)

The input method for the keyword.

  • SELECT_FROM_LIST is used when mapping a data source for automated evidence.
    • When keywordInputType is SELECT_FROM_LIST , a keyword must be selected to collect automated evidence. For example, this keyword 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.
  • UPLOAD_FILE and INPUT_TEXT are only used when mapping a data source for manual evidence.
    • When keywordInputType is UPLOAD_FILE , a file must be uploaded as manual evidence.
    • When keywordInputType is INPUT_TEXT , text must be entered as manual evidence.

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 . For some rules, the rule identifier is different from the rule name. For example, the rule name restricted-ssh has the following rule identifier: INCOMING_SSH_DISABLED . Make sure to use the rule identifier, not the rule name. Keyword example for managed rules:
  • For custom rules , you form the keywordValue by adding the Custom_ prefix to the rule name. This prefix distinguishes the custom rule from a managed rule. Keyword example for custom rules:
    • 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. Keyword examples for service-linked rules:
    • Service-linked rule name: CustomRuleForAccount-conformance-pack-szsm1uv0w keywordValue : Custom_CustomRuleForAccount-conformance-pack
    • Service-linked rule name: OrgConfigRule-s3-bucket-versioning-enabled-dbgzf8ba keywordValue : Custom_OrgConfigRule-s3-bucket-versioning-enabled

Warning

The keywordValue is case sensitive. If you enter a value incorrectly, Audit Manager might not recognize the data source mapping. As a result, you might not successfully collect evidence from that data source as intended.

Keep in mind the following requirements, depending on the data source type that you’re using.

  • For Config:
    • For managed rules, make sure that the keywordValue is the rule identifier in ALL_CAPS_WITH_UNDERSCORES . For example, CLOUDWATCH_LOG_GROUP_ENCRYPTED . For accuracy, we recommend that you reference the list of supported Config managed rules .
    • For custom rules, make sure that the keywordValue has the Custom_ prefix followed by the custom rule name. The format of the custom rule name itself may vary. For accuracy, we recommend that you visit the Config console to verify your custom rule name.
  • For Security Hub: The format varies for Security Hub control names. For accuracy, we recommend that you reference the list of supported Security Hub controls .
  • For Amazon Web Services API calls: Make sure that the keywordValue is written as serviceprefix_ActionName . For example, iam_ListGroups . For accuracy, we recommend that you reference the list of supported API calls .
  • For CloudTrail: Make sure that the keywordValue is written as serviceprefix_ActionName . For example, cloudtrail_StartLogging . For accuracy, we recommend that you review the Amazon Web Service prefix and action names in the Service Authorization Reference .

sourceFrequency -> (string)

Specifies how often evidence is collected from the control mapping source.

troubleshootingText -> (string)

The instructions for troubleshooting the control.

--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.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command’s default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json
  • text
  • table
  • yaml
  • yaml-stream

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

  • on
  • off
  • auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-binary-format (string)

The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.

  • base64
  • raw-in-base64-out

--no-cli-pager (boolean)

Disable cli pager for output.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

--no-cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Disable automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.
