describe_stack_resource_drifts#

CloudFormation.Client.describe_stack_resource_drifts(**kwargs)#

Returns drift information for the resources that have been checked for drift in the specified stack. This includes actual and expected configuration values for resources where CloudFormation detects configuration drift.

For a given stack, there will be one StackResourceDrift for each stack resource that has been checked for drift. Resources that haven’t yet been checked for drift aren’t included. Resources that don’t currently support drift detection aren’t checked, and so not included. For a list of resources that support drift detection, see Resource type support for imports and drift detection.

Use DetectStackResourceDrift to detect drift on individual resources, or DetectStackDrift to detect drift on all supported resources for a given stack.

Request Syntax

response = client.describe_stack_resource_drifts(
    StackName='string',
    StackResourceDriftStatusFilters=[
        'IN_SYNC'|'MODIFIED'|'DELETED'|'NOT_CHECKED',
    ],
    NextToken='string',
    MaxResults=123
)
Parameters:

  • StackName (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    The name of the stack for which you want drift information.

  • StackResourceDriftStatusFilters (list) –

    The resource drift status values to use as filters for the resource drift results returned.

    • DELETED: The resource differs from its expected template configuration in that the resource has been deleted.

    • MODIFIED: One or more resource properties differ from their expected template values.

    • IN_SYNC: The resource’s actual configuration matches its expected template configuration.

    • (string) –

  • NextToken (string) – A string that identifies the next page of stack resource drift results.

  • MaxResults (integer) – The maximum number of results to be returned with a single call. If the number of available results exceeds this maximum, the response includes a NextToken value that you can assign to the NextToken request parameter to get the next set of results.

Response Structure

  • (dict) –

    • StackResourceDrifts (list) –

      Drift information for the resources that have been checked for drift in the specified stack. This includes actual and expected configuration values for resources where CloudFormation detects drift.

      For a given stack, there will be one StackResourceDrift for each stack resource that has been checked for drift. Resources that haven’t yet been checked for drift aren’t included. Resources that do not currently support drift detection aren’t checked, and so not included. For a list of resources that support drift detection, see Resource type support for imports and drift detection.

      • (dict) –

        Contains the drift information for a resource that has been checked for drift. This includes actual and expected property values for resources in which CloudFormation has detected drift. Only resource properties explicitly defined in the stack template are checked for drift. For more information, see Detect unmanaged configuration changes to stacks and resources with drift detection.

        Resources that don’t currently support drift detection can’t be checked. For a list of resources that support drift detection, see Resource type support for imports and drift detection.

        Use DetectStackResourceDrift to detect drift on individual resources, or DetectStackDrift to detect drift on all resources in a given stack that support drift detection.

        • StackId (string) –

          The ID of the stack.

        • LogicalResourceId (string) –

          The logical name of the resource specified in the template.

        • PhysicalResourceId (string) –

          The name or unique identifier that corresponds to a physical instance ID of a resource supported by CloudFormation.

        • PhysicalResourceIdContext (list) –

          Context information that enables CloudFormation to uniquely identify a resource. CloudFormation uses context key-value pairs in cases where a resource’s logical and physical IDs aren’t enough to uniquely identify that resource. Each context key-value pair specifies a unique resource that contains the targeted resource.

          • (dict) –

            Context information that enables CloudFormation to uniquely identify a resource. CloudFormation uses context key-value pairs in cases where a resource’s logical and physical IDs aren’t enough to uniquely identify that resource. Each context key-value pair specifies a resource that contains the targeted resource.

            • Key (string) –

              The resource context key.

            • Value (string) –

              The resource context value.

        • ResourceType (string) –

        • ExpectedProperties (string) –

          A JSON structure containing the expected property values of the stack resource, as defined in the stack template and any values specified as template parameters.

            Information about a resource property whose actual value differs from its expected value, as defined in the stack template and any values specified as template parameters. These will be present only for resources whose StackResourceDriftStatus is MODIFIED. For more information, see Detect unmanaged configuration changes to stacks and resources with drift detection.

            • PropertyPath (string) –

              The fully-qualified path to the resource property.

            • ExpectedValue (string) –

              • NOT_EQUAL: The current property value differs from its expected value (as defined in the stack template and any values specified as template parameters).

        • StackResourceDriftStatus (string) –

          Status of the resource’s actual configuration compared to its expected configuration.

          • DELETED: The resource differs from its expected template configuration because the resource has been deleted.

          • MODIFIED: One or more resource properties differ from their expected values (as defined in the stack template and any values specified as template parameters).

          • IN_SYNC: The resource’s actual configuration matches its expected template configuration.

          • NOT_CHECKED: CloudFormation does not currently return this value.

        • Timestamp (datetime) –

          Time at which CloudFormation performed drift detection on the stack resource.

        • ModuleInfo (dict) –

          Contains information about the module from which the resource was created, if the resource was created from a module included in the stack template.

            A concatenated list of the module type or types containing the resource. Module types are listed starting with the inner-most nested module, and separated by /.

            In the following example, the resource was created from a module of type AWS::First::Example::MODULE, that’s nested inside a parent module of type AWS::Second::Example::MODULE.

          • LogicalIdHierarchy (string) –

            A concatenated list of the logical IDs of the module or modules containing the resource. Modules are listed starting with the inner-most nested module, and separated by /.

            moduleA/moduleB

            For more information, see Reference module resources in CloudFormation templates in the CloudFormation User Guide.

    • NextToken (string) –

      If the request doesn’t return all the remaining results, NextToken is set to a token. To retrieve the next set of results, call DescribeStackResourceDrifts again and assign that token to the request object’s NextToken parameter. If the request returns all results, NextToken is set to null.
