RecordingMode

Specifies the default recording frequency that Amazon Config uses to record configuration changes. Amazon Config supports Continuous recording and Daily recording.

Continuous recording allows you to record configuration changes continuously whenever a change occurs.
Daily recording allows you to receive a configuration item (CI) representing the most recent state of your resources over the last 24-hour period, only if it’s different from the previous CI recorded.

Note

Amazon Firewall Manager depends on continuous recording to monitor your resources. If you are using Firewall Manager, it is recommended that you set the recording frequency to Continuous.

You can also override the recording frequency for specific resource types.
