Synopsis

Calls the AWS Config DescribeComplianceByResource API operation.

Syntax

Get-CFGComplianceByResource
-ComplianceType <String[]>
-ResourceId <String>
-ResourceType <String>
-Limit <Int32>
-NextToken <String>
-Select <String>
-NoAutoIteration <SwitchParameter>
-ClientConfig <AmazonConfigServiceConfig>

Description

Indicates whether the specified Amazon Web Services resources are compliant. If a resource is noncompliant, this action returns the number of Config rules that the resource does not comply with. A resource is compliant if it complies with all the Config rules that evaluate it. It is noncompliant if it does not comply with one or more of these rules. If Config has no current evaluation results for the resource, it returns INSUFFICIENT_DATA. This result might indicate one of the following conditions about the rules that evaluate the resource:
  • Config has never invoked an evaluation for the rule. To check whether it has, use the DescribeConfigRuleEvaluationStatus action to get the LastSuccessfulInvocationTime and LastFailedInvocationTime.
  • The rule's Lambda function is failing to send evaluation results to Config. Verify that the role that you assigned to your configuration recorder includes the config:PutEvaluations permission. If the rule is a custom rule, verify that the Lambda execution role includes the config:PutEvaluations permission.
  • The rule's Lambda function has returned NOT_APPLICABLE for all evaluation results. This can occur if the resources were deleted or removed from the rule's scope.


This cmdlet automatically pages all available results to the pipeline - parameters related to iteration are only needed if you want to manually control the paginated output. To disable autopagination, use -NoAutoIteration.

Parameters

-ClientConfig <AmazonConfigServiceConfig>
Amazon.PowerShell.Cmdlets.CFG.AmazonConfigServiceClientCmdlet.ClientConfig
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-ComplianceType <String[]>
Filters the results by compliance.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesComplianceTypes
-Limit <Int32>
The maximum number of evaluation results returned on each page. The default is 10. You cannot specify a number greater than 100. If you specify 0, Config uses the default.
Note: In AWSPowerShell and AWSPowerShell.NetCore this parameter is used to limit the total number of items returned by the cmdlet.
In AWS.Tools this parameter is simply passed to the service to specify how many items should be returned by each service call.
Pipe the output of this cmdlet into Select-Object -First to terminate retrieving data pages early and control the number of items returned.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesMaxItems
-NextToken <String>
The nextToken string returned on a previous page that you use to get the next page of results in a paginated response.
Note: This parameter is only used if you are manually controlling output pagination of the service API call.
In order to manually control output pagination, use '-NextToken $null' for the first call and '-NextToken $AWSHistory.LastServiceResponse.NextToken' for subsequent calls.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-NoAutoIteration <SwitchParameter>
By default the cmdlet will auto-iterate and retrieve all results to the pipeline by performing multiple service calls. If set, the cmdlet will retrieve only the next 'page' of results using the value of NextToken as the start point.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-ResourceId <String>
The ID of the Amazon Web Services resource for which you want compliance information. You can specify only one resource ID. If you specify a resource ID, you must also specify a type for ResourceType.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-ResourceType <String>
The types of Amazon Web Services resources for which you want compliance information (for example, AWS::EC2::Instance). For this action, you can specify that the resource type is an Amazon Web Services account by specifying AWS::::Account.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Select <String>
Use the -Select parameter to control the cmdlet output. The default value is 'ComplianceByResources'. Specifying -Select '*' will result in the cmdlet returning the whole service response (Amazon.ConfigService.Model.DescribeComplianceByResourceResponse). Specifying the name of a property of type Amazon.ConfigService.Model.DescribeComplianceByResourceResponse will result in that property being returned. Specifying -Select '^ParameterName' will result in the cmdlet returning the selected cmdlet parameter value.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)

Common Credential and Region Parameters

-AccessKey <String>
The AWS access key for the user account. This can be a temporary access key if the corresponding session token is supplied to the -SessionToken parameter.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesAK
-Credential <AWSCredentials>
An AWSCredentials object instance containing access and secret key information, and optionally a token for session-based credentials.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-EndpointUrl <String>
The endpoint to make the call against.Note: This parameter is primarily for internal AWS use and is not required/should not be specified for normal usage. The cmdlets normally determine which endpoint to call based on the region specified to the -Region parameter or set as default in the shell (via Set-DefaultAWSRegion). Only specify this parameter if you must direct the call to a specific custom endpoint.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-NetworkCredential <PSCredential>
Used with SAML-based authentication when ProfileName references a SAML role profile. Contains the network credentials to be supplied during authentication with the configured identity provider's endpoint. This parameter is not required if the user's default network identity can or should be used during authentication.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-ProfileLocation <String>
Used to specify the name and location of the ini-format credential file (shared with the AWS CLI and other AWS SDKs)If this optional parameter is omitted this cmdlet will search the encrypted credential file used by the AWS SDK for .NET and AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio first. If the profile is not found then the cmdlet will search in the ini-format credential file at the default location: (user's home directory)\.aws\credentials.If this parameter is specified then this cmdlet will only search the ini-format credential file at the location given.As the current folder can vary in a shell or during script execution it is advised that you use specify a fully qualified path instead of a relative path.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesAWSProfilesLocation, ProfilesLocation
-ProfileName <String>
The user-defined name of an AWS credentials or SAML-based role profile containing credential information. The profile is expected to be found in the secure credential file shared with the AWS SDK for .NET and AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio. You can also specify the name of a profile stored in the .ini-format credential file used with the AWS CLI and other AWS SDKs.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)

-Region <Object>
The system name of an AWS region or an AWSRegion instance. This governs the endpoint that will be used when calling service operations. Note that the AWS resources referenced in a call are usually region-specific.
Required?False

-SecretKey <String>
The AWS secret key for the user account. This can be a temporary secret key if the corresponding session token is supplied to the -SessionToken parameter.

AliasesST

Outputs

Amazon.ConfigService.Model.ComplianceByResource or Amazon.ConfigService.Model.DescribeComplianceByResourceResponse
This cmdlet returns a collection of Amazon.ConfigService.Model.ComplianceByResource objects. The service call response (type Amazon.ConfigService.Model.DescribeComplianceByResourceResponse) can also be referenced from properties attached to the cmdlet entry in the $AWSHistory stack.

Examples

Example 1
