Parameters:

controlId (string) –
[REQUIRED]

The identifier for the control.
name (string) –
[REQUIRED]

The name of the updated control.
description (string) – The optional description of the control.
testingInformation (string) – The steps that you should follow to determine if the control is met.
actionPlanTitle (string) – The title of the action plan for remediating the control.
actionPlanInstructions (string) – The recommended actions to carry out if the control isn’t fulfilled.
controlMappingSources (list) –
[REQUIRED]

The data mapping sources for the control.
- (dict) –
  
  The data source that determines where Audit Manager collects evidence from for the control.
  - sourceId (string) –
    
    The unique identifier for the source.
  - sourceName (string) –
    
    The name of the source.
  - sourceDescription (string) –
    
    The description of the source.
  - sourceSetUpOption (string) –
    
    The setup option for the data source. This option reflects if the evidence collection is automated or manual.
  - sourceType (string) –
    
    Specifies one of the five data source types for evidence collection.
  - sourceKeyword (dict) –
    
    A keyword that relates to the control data source.
    
    For manual evidence, this keyword indicates if the manual evidence is a file or text.
    
    For automated evidence, this keyword identifies a specific CloudTrail event, Config rule, Security Hub control, or Amazon Web Services API name.
    
    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:
    - keywordInputType (string) –
      
      The input method for the keyword.
      - SELECT_FROM_LIST is used when mapping a data source for automated evidence.
        
        When keywordInputType is SELECT_FROM_LIST, a keyword must be selected to collect automated evidence. For example, this keyword 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.
      - UPLOAD_FILE and INPUT_TEXT are only used when mapping a data source for manual evidence.
        
        When keywordInputType is UPLOAD_FILE, a file must be uploaded as manual evidence.
        
        When keywordInputType is INPUT_TEXT, text must be entered as manual evidence.
    - 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. For some rules, the rule identifier is different from the rule name. For example, the rule name restricted-ssh has the following rule identifier: INCOMING_SSH_DISABLED. Make sure to use the rule identifier, not the rule name. Keyword example for 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 custom rule from a managed rule. Keyword example for custom rules:
        
        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. Keyword examples for service-linked rules:
        
        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
      Warning
      The keywordValue is case sensitive. If you enter a value incorrectly, Audit Manager might not recognize the data source mapping. As a result, you might not successfully collect evidence from that data source as intended.
      
      Keep in mind the following requirements, depending on the data source type that you’re using.
      
      For Config:
      
      For managed rules, make sure that the keywordValue is the rule identifier in ALL_CAPS_WITH_UNDERSCORES. For example, CLOUDWATCH_LOG_GROUP_ENCRYPTED. For accuracy, we recommend that you reference the list of supported Config managed rules.
      
      For custom rules, make sure that the keywordValue has the Custom_ prefix followed by the custom rule name. The format of the custom rule name itself may vary. For accuracy, we recommend that you visit the Config console to verify your custom rule name.
      
      For Security Hub: The format varies for Security Hub control names. For accuracy, we recommend that you reference the list of supported Security Hub controls.
      
      For Amazon Web Services API calls: Make sure that the keywordValue is written as serviceprefix_ActionName. For example, iam_ListGroups. For accuracy, we recommend that you reference the list of supported API calls.
      
      For CloudTrail: Make sure that the keywordValue is written as serviceprefix_ActionName. For example, cloudtrail_StartLogging. For accuracy, we recommend that you review the Amazon Web Service prefix and action names in the Service Authorization Reference.
  - sourceFrequency (string) –
    
    Specifies how often evidence is collected from the control mapping source.
  - troubleshootingText (string) –
    
    The instructions for troubleshooting the control.
