        To learn more about the supported keywords that you can use when mapping a control data source, see the following pages in the Audit Manager User Guide :
        
        Config rules supported by Audit Manager
        
        Security Hub controls supported by Audit Manager
        
        API calls supported by Audit Manager
        
        CloudTrail event names supported by Audit Manager
        
        keywordInputType (string) --
        The input method for the keyword.
        
        keywordValue (string) --
        The value of the keyword that's used when mapping a control data source. For example, this can be a CloudTrail event name, a rule name for Config, a Security Hub control, or the name of an Amazon Web Services API call.
        
        If you’re mapping a data source to a rule in Config, the keywordValue that you specify depends on the type of rule:
        
        For managed rules, you can use the rule identifier as the keywordValue . You can find the rule identifier from the list of Config managed rules.
        
        Managed rule name: s3-bucket-acl-prohibited keywordValue : S3_BUCKET_ACL_PROHIBITED
        
        For custom rules, you form the keywordValue by adding the Custom_ prefix to the rule name. This prefix distinguishes the rule from a managed rule.
        
        Custom rule name: my-custom-config-rule keywordValue : Custom_my-custom-config-rule
        
        For service-linked rules, you form the keywordValue by adding the Custom_ prefix to the rule name. In addition, you remove the suffix ID that appears at the end of the rule name.
        
        Service-linked rule name: CustomRuleForAccount-conformance-pack-szsm1uv0w keywordValue : Custom_CustomRuleForAccount-conformance-pack
        
        Service-linked rule name: OrgConfigRule-s3-bucket-versioning-enabled-dbgzf8ba keywordValue : Custom_OrgConfigRule-s3-bucket-versioning-enabled
      - sourceFrequency (string) --

      - troubleshootingText (string) --
        The instructions for troubleshooting the control.
  - createdAt (datetime) --
    The time when the control was created.
  - lastUpdatedAt (datetime) --
