Changes (request, response)
Request

{'resourceType': ['AWS::EC2::Host']}

Response

{'configurationItems': {'relationships': {'resourceType': ['AWS::EC2::Host']},
                        'resourceType': ['AWS::EC2::Host']}}

Returns a list of configuration items for the specified resource. The list contains details about each state of the resource during the specified time interval.

The response is paginated, and by default, AWS Config returns a limit of 10 configuration items per page. You can customize this number with the limit parameter. The response includes a nextToken string, and to get the next page of results, run the request again and enter this string for the nextToken parameter.

Note

Each call to the API is limited to span a duration of seven days. It is likely that the number of records returned is smaller than the specified limit . In such cases, you can make another call, using the nextToken .

Changes (request, response)
Request

{'resourceType': ['AWS::EC2::Host']}

Response

{'resourceIdentifiers': {'resourceType': ['AWS::EC2::Host']}}

Accepts a resource type and returns a list of resource identifiers for the resources of that type. A resource identifier includes the resource type, ID, and (if available) the custom resource name. The results consist of resources that AWS Config has discovered, including those that AWS Config is not currently recording. You can narrow the results to include only resources that have specific resource IDs or a resource name.

Note

You can specify either resource IDs or a resource name but not both in the same request.

The response is paginated, and by default AWS Config lists 100 resource identifiers on each page. You can customize this number with the limit parameter. The response includes a nextToken string, and to get the next page of results, run the request again and enter this string for the nextToken parameter.

PutConfigurationRecorder (updated)

Link ¶
Changes (request)

{'ConfigurationRecorder': {'recordingGroup': {'resourceTypes': ['AWS::EC2::Host']}}}

Creates a new configuration recorder to record the selected resource configurations.

You can use this action to change the role roleARN and/or the recordingGroup of an existing recorder. To change the role, call the action on the existing configuration recorder and specify a role.

Note

Currently, you can specify only one configuration recorder per account.

If ConfigurationRecorder does not have the recordingGroup parameter specified, the default is to record all supported resource types.
