describe_compliance_by_resource

ConfigService.Client.describe_compliance_by_resource(**kwargs)

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.

Request Syntax

response = client.describe_compliance_by_resource(
    ResourceType='string',
    ResourceId='string',
    ComplianceTypes=[
        'COMPLIANT'|'NON_COMPLIANT'|'NOT_APPLICABLE'|'INSUFFICIENT_DATA',
    ],
    Limit=123,
    NextToken='string'
)

Parameters

• 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 .
• 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 .
• ComplianceTypes (list) --

  Filters the results by compliance.

  • (string) --
• Limit (integer) -- 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.
• NextToken (string) -- The nextToken string returned on a previous page that you use to get the next page of results in a paginated response.

Response Structure

• (dict) --

  • ComplianceByResources (list) --

    Indicates whether the specified Amazon Web Services resource complies with all of the Config rules that evaluate it.

    • (dict) --

      Indicates whether an Amazon Web Services resource that is evaluated according to one or more Config rules is compliant. A resource is compliant if it complies with all of the rules that evaluate it. A resource is noncompliant if it does not comply with one or more of these rules.

      • ResourceType (string) --

        The type of the Amazon Web Services resource that was evaluated.

      • ResourceId (string) --

        The ID of the Amazon Web Services resource that was evaluated.

      • Compliance (dict) --

        Indicates whether the Amazon Web Services resource complies with all of the Config rules that evaluated it.

        • ComplianceType (string) --

          Indicates whether an Amazon Web Services resource or Config rule is compliant.

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

          A rule is compliant if all of the resources that the rule evaluates comply with it. A rule is noncompliant if any of these resources do not comply.

          Config returns the INSUFFICIENT_DATA value when no evaluation results are available for the Amazon Web Services resource or Config rule.

          For the Compliance data type, Config supports only COMPLIANT , NON_COMPLIANT , and INSUFFICIENT_DATA values. Config does not support the NOT_APPLICABLE value for the Compliance data type.

        • ComplianceContributorCount (dict) --

          The number of Amazon Web Services resources or Config rules that cause a result of NON_COMPLIANT , up to a maximum number.

          • CappedCount (integer) --

            The number of Amazon Web Services resources or Config rules responsible for the current compliance of the item.

          • CapExceeded (boolean) --

            Indicates whether the maximum count is reached.

  • NextToken (string) --

    The string that you use in a subsequent request to get the next page of results in a paginated response.
