ConfigurationItem - AWS Config

ConfigurationItem

A list that contains detailed configurations of a specified resource.

Contents

accountId

The 12-digit AWS account ID associated with the resource.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Fixed length of 12.

Pattern: \d{12}

Required: No

arn

Amazon Resource Name (ARN) associated with the resource.

Type: String

Required: No

availabilityZone

The Availability Zone associated with the resource.

Type: String

Required: No

awsRegion

The region where the resource resides.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 64.

Required: No

configuration

The description of the resource configuration.

Type: String

Required: No

configurationItemCaptureTime

The time when the recording of configuration changes was initiated for the resource.

Type: Timestamp

Required: No

configurationItemDeliveryTime

The time when configuration changes for the resource were delivered.

Note

This field is optional and is not guaranteed to be present in a configuration item (CI). If you are using daily recording, this field will be populated. However, if you are using continuous recording, this field will be omitted since the delivery time is instantaneous as the CI is available right away. For more information on daily recording and continuous recording, see Recording Frequency in the AWS Config Developer Guide.

Type: Timestamp

Required: No

configurationItemMD5Hash

Unique MD5 hash that represents the configuration item's state.

You can use MD5 hash to compare the states of two or more configuration items that are associated with the same resource.

Type: String

Required: No

configurationItemStatus

The configuration item status. Valid values include:

  • OK – The resource configuration has been updated

  • ResourceDiscovered – The resource was newly discovered

  • ResourceNotRecorded – The resource was discovered but its configuration was not recorded since the recorder doesn't record resources of this type

  • ResourceDeleted – The resource was deleted

  • ResourceDeletedNotRecorded – The resource was deleted but its configuration was not recorded since the recorder doesn't record resources of this type

Type: String

Valid Values: OK | ResourceDiscovered | ResourceNotRecorded | ResourceDeleted | ResourceDeletedNotRecorded

Required: No

configurationStateId

An identifier that indicates the ordering of the configuration items of a resource.

Type: String

Required: No

recordingFrequency

The recording frequency that AWS Config uses to record configuration changes for the resource.

Note

This field only appears in the API response when DAILY recording is enabled for a resource type. If this field is not present, CONTINUOUS recording is enabled for that resource type. For more information on daily recording and continuous recording, see Recording Frequency in the AWS Config Developer Guide.

Type: String

Valid Values: CONTINUOUS | DAILY

Required: No

relatedEvents

A list of CloudTrail event IDs.

A populated field indicates that the current configuration was initiated by the events recorded in the CloudTrail log. For more information about CloudTrail, see What Is AWS CloudTrail.

An empty field indicates that the current configuration was not initiated by any event. As of Version 1.3, the relatedEvents field is empty. You can access the LookupEvents API in the AWS CloudTrail API Reference to retrieve the events for the resource.

Type: Array of strings

Required: No

relationships

A list of related AWS resources.

Type: Array of Relationship objects

Required: No

resourceCreationTime

The time stamp when the resource was created.

Type: Timestamp

Required: No

resourceId

The ID of the resource (for example, sg-xxxxxx).

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 768.

Required: No

resourceName

The custom name of the resource, if available.

Type: String

Required: No

resourceType

The type of AWS resource.

Type: String
