Response Structure

• (dict) –

  • evidence (dict) –

    The evidence that the GetEvidence API returned.

    • dataSource (string) –

      The data source where the evidence was collected from.

    • evidenceAwsAccountId (string) –

      The identifier for the Amazon Web Services account.

    • time (datetime) –

      The timestamp that represents when the evidence was collected.

    • eventSource (string) –

      The Amazon Web Service that the evidence is collected from.

    • eventName (string) –

      The name of the evidence event.

    • evidenceByType (string) –

      The type of automated evidence.

    • resourcesIncluded (list) –

      The list of resources that are assessed to generate the evidence.

      • (dict) –

        A system asset that’s evaluated in an Audit Manager assessment.

        • arn (string) –

          The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the resource.

        • value (string) –

          The value of the resource.

        • complianceCheck (string) –

          The evaluation status for a resource that was assessed when collecting compliance check evidence.

          • Audit Manager classes the resource as non-compliant if Security Hub reports a Fail result, or if Config reports a Non-compliant result.

          • Audit Manager classes the resource as compliant if Security Hub reports a Pass result, or if Config reports a Compliant result.

          • If a compliance check isn’t available or applicable, then no compliance evaluation can be made for that resource. This is the case if a resource assessment uses Config or Security Hub as the underlying data source type, but those services aren’t enabled. This is also the case if the resource assessment uses an underlying data source type that doesn’t support compliance checks (such as manual evidence, Amazon Web Services API calls, or CloudTrail).

    • attributes (dict) –

      The names and values that are used by the evidence event. This includes an attribute name (such as allowUsersToChangePassword) and value (such as true or false).

      • If a compliance check isn’t available or applicable, then no compliance evaluation can be made for that evidence. This is the case if the evidence uses Config or Security Hub as the underlying data source type, but those services aren’t enabled. This is also the case if the evidence uses an underlying data source type that doesn’t support compliance checks (such as manual evidence, Amazon Web Services API calls, or CloudTrail).
