AWS Config

AWS Config provides a way to keep track of the configurations of all the AWS resources associated with your AWS account. You can use AWS Config to get the current and historical configurations of each AWS resource and also to get information about the relationship between the resources. An AWS resource can be an Amazon Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance, an Elastic Block Store (EBS) volume, an Elastic network Interface (ENI), or a security group. For a complete list of resources currently supported by AWS Config, see Supported AWS Resources.

You can access and manage AWS Config through the AWS Management Console, the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), the AWS Config API, or the AWS SDKs for AWS Config

This reference guide contains documentation for the AWS Config API and the AWS CLI commands that you can use to manage AWS Config.

The AWS Config API uses the Signature Version 4 protocol for signing requests. For more information about how to sign a request with this protocol, see Signature Version 4 Signing Process.

For detailed information about AWS Config features and their associated actions or commands, as well as how to work with AWS Management Console, see What Is AWS Config? in the AWS Config Developer Guide.

Method Detail

setEndpoint

void setEndpoint(String endpoint)

Overrides the default endpoint for this client ("config.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/"). Callers can use this method to control which AWS region they want to work with.

Callers can pass in just the endpoint (ex: "config.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/") or a full URL, including the protocol (ex: "config.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/"). If the protocol is not specified here, the default protocol from this client's ClientConfiguration will be used, which by default is HTTPS.

For more information on using AWS regions with the AWS SDK for Java, and a complete list of all available endpoints for all AWS services, see: http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/entry.jspa?externalID= 3912

This method is not threadsafe. An endpoint should be configured when the client is created and before any service requests are made. Changing it afterwards creates inevitable race conditions for any service requests in transit or retrying.

Parameters:

endpoint - The endpoint (ex: "config.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/") or a full URL, including the protocol (ex: "config.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/") of the region specific AWS endpoint this client will communicate with.

setRegion

void setRegion(Region region)

An alternative to setEndpoint(String), sets the regional endpoint for this client's service calls. Callers can use this method to control which AWS region they want to work with.

By default, all service endpoints in all regions use the https protocol. To use http instead, specify it in the ClientConfiguration supplied at construction.

This method is not threadsafe. A region should be configured when the client is created and before any service requests are made. Changing it afterwards creates inevitable race conditions for any service requests in transit or retrying.

Parameters:

region - The region this client will communicate with. See Region.getRegion(com.amazonaws.regions.Regions) for accessing a given region. Must not be null and must be a region where the service is available.

See Also:

Region.getRegion(com.amazonaws.regions.Regions), Region.createClient(Class, com.amazonaws.auth.AWSCredentialsProvider, ClientConfiguration), Region.isServiceSupported(String)

deleteConfigRule

DeleteConfigRuleResult deleteConfigRule(DeleteConfigRuleRequest deleteConfigRuleRequest)

Deletes the specified AWS Config rule and all of its evaluation results.

AWS Config sets the state of a rule to DELETING until the deletion is complete. You cannot update a rule while it is in this state. If you make a PutConfigRule or DeleteConfigRule request for the rule, you will receive a ResourceInUseException.

You can check the state of a rule by using the DescribeConfigRules request.

Parameters:

deleteConfigRuleRequest -

Returns:

Result of the DeleteConfigRule operation returned by the service.

Throws:

NoSuchConfigRuleException - One or more AWS Config rules in the request are invalid. Verify that the rule names are correct and try again.

ResourceInUseException - The rule is currently being deleted. Wait for a while and try again.

deleteDeliveryChannel

DeleteDeliveryChannelResult deleteDeliveryChannel(DeleteDeliveryChannelRequest deleteDeliveryChannelRequest)

Deletes the specified delivery channel.

The delivery channel cannot be deleted if it is the only delivery channel and the configuration recorder is still running. To delete the delivery channel, stop the running configuration recorder using the StopConfigurationRecorder action.

Parameters:

deleteDeliveryChannelRequest - The input for the DeleteDeliveryChannel action. The action accepts the following data in JSON format.

Returns:

Result of the DeleteDeliveryChannel operation returned by the service.

Throws:

NoSuchDeliveryChannelException - You have specified a delivery channel that does not exist.

LastDeliveryChannelDeleteFailedException - You cannot delete the delivery channel you specified because the configuration recorder is running.

deliverConfigSnapshot

DeliverConfigSnapshotResult deliverConfigSnapshot(DeliverConfigSnapshotRequest deliverConfigSnapshotRequest)

Schedules delivery of a configuration snapshot to the Amazon S3 bucket in the specified delivery channel. After the delivery has started, AWS Config sends following notifications using an Amazon SNS topic that you have specified.

• Notification of starting the delivery.
• Notification of delivery completed, if the delivery was successfully completed.
• Notification of delivery failure, if the delivery failed to complete.

Parameters:

deliverConfigSnapshotRequest - The input for the DeliverConfigSnapshot action.

Returns:

Result of the DeliverConfigSnapshot operation returned by the service.

Throws:

NoSuchDeliveryChannelException - You have specified a delivery channel that does not exist.

NoAvailableConfigurationRecorderException - There are no configuration recorders available to provide the role needed to describe your resources. Create a configuration recorder.

NoRunningConfigurationRecorderException - There is no configuration recorder running.

describeComplianceByConfigRule

DescribeComplianceByConfigRuleResult describeComplianceByConfigRule(DescribeComplianceByConfigRuleRequest describeComplianceByConfigRuleRequest)

Indicates whether the specified AWS Config rules are compliant. If a rule is noncompliant, this action returns the number of AWS resources that do not comply with the rule.

A rule is compliant if all of the evaluated resources comply with it, and it is noncompliant if any of these resources do not comply.

If AWS Config has no current evaluation results for the rule, it returns INSUFFICIENT_DATA. This result might indicate one of the following conditions:

• AWS 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 AWS Lambda function is failing to send evaluation results to AWS Config. Verify that the role that you assigned to your configuration recorder includes the config:PutEvaluations permission. If the rule is a customer managed rule, verify that the AWS Lambda execution role includes the config:PutEvaluations permission.
• The rule's AWS 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.

Parameters:

describeComplianceByConfigRuleRequest -

Returns:

Result of the DescribeComplianceByConfigRule operation returned by the service.

Throws:

InvalidParameterValueException - One or more of the specified parameters are invalid. Verify that your parameters are valid and try again.

describeComplianceByResource

DescribeComplianceByResourceResult describeComplianceByResource(DescribeComplianceByResourceRequest describeComplianceByResourceRequest)

Indicates whether the specified AWS resources are compliant. If a resource is noncompliant, this action returns the number of AWS Config rules that the resource does not comply with.

A resource is compliant if it complies with all the AWS Config rules that evaluate it. It is noncompliant if it does not comply with one or more of these rules.

If AWS 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:

• AWS 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 AWS Lambda function is failing to send evaluation results to AWS Config. Verify that the role that you assigned to your configuration recorder includes the config:PutEvaluations permission. If the rule is a customer managed rule, verify that the AWS Lambda execution role includes the config:PutEvaluations permission.

putConfigRule

PutConfigRuleResult putConfigRule(PutConfigRuleRequest putConfigRuleRequest)

Adds or updates an AWS Config rule for evaluating whether your AWS resources comply with your desired configurations.

You can use this action for customer managed Config rules and AWS managed Config rules. A customer managed Config rule is a custom rule that you develop and maintain. An AWS managed Config rule is a customizable, predefined rule that is provided by AWS Config.

If you are adding a new customer managed Config rule, you must first create the AWS Lambda function that the rule invokes to evaluate your resources. When you use the PutConfigRule action to add the rule to AWS Config, you must specify the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that AWS Lambda assigns to the function. Specify the ARN for the SourceIdentifier key. This key is part of the Source object, which is part of the ConfigRule object.

If you are adding a new AWS managed Config rule, specify the rule's identifier for the SourceIdentifier key. To reference AWS managed Config rule identifiers, see Using AWS Managed Config Rules.

For any new rule that you add, specify the ConfigRuleName in the ConfigRule object. Do not specify the ConfigRuleArn or the ConfigRuleId. These values are generated by AWS Config for new rules.

If you are updating a rule that you have added previously, specify the rule's ConfigRuleName, ConfigRuleId, or ConfigRuleArn in the ConfigRule data type that you use in this request.

The maximum number of rules that AWS Config supports is 25.

For more information about developing and using AWS Config rules, see Evaluating AWS Resource Configurations with AWS Config in the AWS Config Developer Guide.

Parameters:

putConfigRuleRequest -

Returns:

Result of the PutConfigRule operation returned by the service.

Throws:

InvalidParameterValueException - One or more of the specified parameters are invalid. Verify that your parameters are valid and try again.

shutdown

void shutdown()

Shuts down this client object, releasing any resources that might be held open. This is an optional method, and callers are not expected to call it, but can if they want to explicitly release any open resources. Once a client has been shutdown, it should not be used to make any more requests.

getCachedResponseMetadata

ResponseMetadata getCachedResponseMetadata(AmazonWebServiceRequest request)

Returns additional metadata for a previously executed successful request, typically used for debugging issues where a service isn't acting as expected. This data isn't considered part of the result data returned by an operation, so it's available through this separate, diagnostic interface.

Response metadata is only cached for a limited period of time, so if you need to access this extra diagnostic information for an executed request, you should use this method to retrieve it as soon as possible after executing a request.

Parameters:

request - The originally executed request.

Returns:

The response metadata for the specified request, or null if none is available.
