get_discovered_resource_counts

ConfigService.Client.get_discovered_resource_counts(**kwargs)

Returns the resource types, the number of each resource type, and the total number of resources that Config is recording in this region for your Amazon Web Services account.

Example
  • Config is recording three resource types in the US East (Ohio) Region for your account: 25 EC2 instances, 20 IAM users, and 15 S3 buckets.
  • You make a call to the GetDiscoveredResourceCounts action and specify that you want all resource types.
  • Config returns the following:
    • The resource types (EC2 instances, IAM users, and S3 buckets).
    • The number of each resource type (25, 20, and 15).
    • The total number of all resources (60).

The response is paginated. By default, Config lists 100 ResourceCount objects on each page. You can customize this number with the limit parameter. The response includes a nextToken string. To get the next page of results, run the request again and specify the string for the nextToken parameter.

Note

If you make a call to the GetDiscoveredResourceCounts action, you might not immediately receive resource counts in the following situations:

  • You are a new Config customer.
  • You just enabled resource recording.

It might take a few minutes for Config to record and count your resources. Wait a few minutes and then retry the GetDiscoveredResourceCounts action.

Request Syntax

response = client.get_discovered_resource_counts(
    resourceTypes=[
        'string',
    ],
    limit=123,
    nextToken='string'
)
Parameters
  • resourceTypes (list) --

    The comma-separated list that specifies the resource types that you want Config to return (for example, "AWS::EC2::Instance" , "AWS::IAM::User" ).

    If a value for resourceTypes is not specified, Config returns all resource types that Config is recording in the region for your account.

    Note

    If the configuration recorder is turned off, Config returns an empty list of ResourceCount objects. If the configuration recorder is not recording a specific resource type (for example, S3 buckets), that resource type is not returned in the list of ResourceCount objects.

    • (string) --
  • limit (integer) -- The maximum number of ResourceCount objects returned on each page. The default is 100. 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) --

    • totalDiscoveredResources (integer) --

      The total number of resources that Config is recording in the region for your account. If you specify resource types in the request, Config returns only the total number of resources for those resource types.

      Example

      • Config is recording three resource types in the US East (Ohio) Region for your account: 25 EC2 instances, 20 IAM users, and 15 S3 buckets, for a total of 60 resources.
      • You make a call to the GetDiscoveredResourceCounts action and specify the resource type, "AWS::EC2::Instances" , in the request.
      • Config returns 25 for totalDiscoveredResources .
    • resourceCounts (list) --

      The list of ResourceCount objects. Each object is listed in descending order by the number of resources.

      • (dict) --

        An object that contains the resource type and the number of resources.

        • resourceType (string) --

          The resource type (for example, "AWS::EC2::Instance" ).

        • count (integer) --

          The number of resources.

    • nextToken (string) --

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