Generating an organization-wide compliance report with AWS Organizations

Focus mode
Generating an organization-wide compliance report with AWS Organizations - AWS Organizations

At any time, you can generate a report that lists all tagged resources in the AWS accounts across your organization. The report shows whether each resource is compliant with the effective tag policy. Note that it can take up to 48 hours for changes you make to a tag policy or resources to be reflected in the organization-wide compliance report. For example, assume that you have a tag policy that defines a new standardized tag for a resource type. Resources of that type that don't have this tag are shown as compliant in the report for up to 48 hours.

You can generate the report from your organization's management account in the us-east-1 Region, provided that it has access to an Amazon S3 bucket. The bucket must have an attached bucket policy as shown in Amazon S3 Bucket Policy for Storing Report. To generate the report, run the following command:

$ aws resourcegroupstaggingapi start-report-creation --region us-east-1

You can generate one report at a time.

This report can take some time to complete. You can check the status by running the following command:

$ aws resourcegroupstaggingapi describe-report-creation --region us-east-1 { "Status": "SUCCEEDED" }

After the above command returns SUCCEEDED, you can open the report from the Amazon S3 bucket.
