/AWS1/CL_CFS=>STARTCONFIGRULESEVALUATION()
¶
About StartConfigRulesEvaluation¶
Runs an on-demand evaluation for the specified Config rules
against the last known configuration state of the resources. Use
StartConfigRulesEvaluation
when you want to test
that a rule you updated is working as expected.
StartConfigRulesEvaluation
does not re-record the
latest configuration state for your resources. It re-runs an
evaluation against the last known state of your resources.
You can specify up to 25 Config rules per request.
An existing StartConfigRulesEvaluation
call for
the specified rules must complete before you can call the API again.
If you chose to have Config stream to an Amazon SNS topic, you
will receive a ConfigRuleEvaluationStarted
notification
when the evaluation starts.
You don't need to call the
StartConfigRulesEvaluation
API to run an
evaluation for a new rule. When you create a rule, Config
evaluates your resources against the rule automatically.
The StartConfigRulesEvaluation
API is useful if
you want to run on-demand evaluations, such as the following
example:
-
You have a custom rule that evaluates your IAM resources every 24 hours.
-
You update your Lambda function to add additional conditions to your rule.
-
Instead of waiting for the next periodic evaluation, you call the
StartConfigRulesEvaluation
API. -
Config invokes your Lambda function and evaluates your IAM resources.
-
Your custom rule will still run periodic evaluations every 24 hours.
