CfnConfigurationRecorder

class aws_cdk.aws_config.CfnConfigurationRecorder(scope, id, *, role_arn, name=None, recording_group=None)

Bases: CfnResource

A CloudFormation AWS::Config::ConfigurationRecorder.

The AWS::Config::ConfigurationRecorder resource describes the AWS resource types for which AWS Config records configuration changes. The configuration recorder stores the configurations of the supported resources in your account as configuration items. .. epigraph:

To enable AWS Config , you must create a configuration recorder and a delivery channel. AWS Config uses the delivery channel to deliver the configuration changes to your Amazon S3 bucket or Amazon SNS topic. For more information, see `AWS::Config::DeliveryChannel <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-config-deliverychannel.html>`_ .

AWS CloudFormation starts the recorder as soon as the delivery channel is available.

To stop the recorder and delete it, delete the configuration recorder from your stack. To stop the recorder without deleting it, call the StopConfigurationRecorder action of the AWS Config API directly.

For more information, see Configuration Recorder in the AWS Config Developer Guide.

Example:

# The code below shows an example of how to instantiate this type.
# The values are placeholders you should change.
import aws_cdk.aws_config as config

cfn_configuration_recorder = config.CfnConfigurationRecorder(self, "MyCfnConfigurationRecorder",
    role_arn="roleArn",

        resource_types=["resourceTypes"]
    )
)

Create a new AWS::Config::ConfigurationRecorder.

Parameters:
  • scope (Construct) –

    • scope in which this resource is defined.

  • id (str) –

    • scoped id of the resource.

  • role_arn (str) – The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM (IAM) role that is used to make read or write requests to the delivery channel that you specify and to get configuration details for supported AWS resources. For more information, see Permissions for the IAM Role Assigned to AWS Config in the AWS Config Developer Guide.

  • name (Optional[str]) – A name for the configuration recorder. If you don’t specify a name, AWS CloudFormation CloudFormation generates a unique physical ID and uses that ID for the configuration recorder name. For more information, see Name Type . .. epigraph:: After you create a configuration recorder, you cannot rename it. If you don’t want a name that AWS CloudFormation generates, specify a value for this property. Updates are not supported.

  • recording_group (Union[IResolvable, RecordingGroupProperty, Dict[str, Any], None]) – Indicates whether to record configurations for all supported resources or for a list of resource types. The resource types that you list must be supported by AWS Config .

Methods

add_deletion_override(path)

Syntactic sugar for addOverride(path, undefined).

Parameters:

path (str) – The path of the value to delete.

Return type:

None

add_depends_on(target)

Indicates that this resource depends on another resource and cannot be provisioned unless the other resource has been successfully provisioned.

This can be used for resources across stacks (or nested stack) boundaries and the dependency will automatically be transferred to the relevant scope.

Parameters:

target (CfnResource) –

Return type:

None

add_metadata(key, value)

Add a value to the CloudFormation Resource Metadata.

Parameters:
  • key (str) –

  • value (Any) –

See:

Return type:

None

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/metadata-section-structure.html

Note that this is a different set of metadata from CDK node metadata; this metadata ends up in the stack template under the resource, whereas CDK node metadata ends up in the Cloud Assembly.

add_override(path, value)

Adds an override to the synthesized CloudFormation resource.

To add a property override, either use addPropertyOverride or prefix path with “Properties.” (i.e. Properties.TopicName).

If the override is nested, separate each nested level using a dot (.) in the path parameter. If there is an array as part of the nesting, specify the index in the path.

To include a literal . in the property name, prefix with a \. In most programming languages you will need to write this as "\\." because the \ itself will need to be escaped.

For example:

cfn_resource.add_override("Properties.GlobalSecondaryIndexes.0.Projection.NonKeyAttributes", ["myattribute"])
cfn_resource.add_override("Properties.GlobalSecondaryIndexes.1.ProjectionType", "INCLUDE")

would add the overrides Example:

"Properties": {
   "GlobalSecondaryIndexes": [
     {
       "Projection": {
         "NonKeyAttributes": [ "myattribute" ]
         ...
       }
       ...
     },
     {
       "ProjectionType": "INCLUDE"
       ...
     },
   ]
   ...
}

The value argument to addOverride will not be processed or translated in any way. Pass raw JSON values in here with the correct capitalization for CloudFormation. If you pass CDK classes or structs, they will be rendered with lowercased key names, and CloudFormation will reject the template.

Parameters:
  • path (str) –

    • The path of the property, you can use dot notation to override values in complex types. Any intermdediate keys will be created as needed.

  • value (Any) –

    • The value. Could be primitive or complex.

Return type:

None

add_property_deletion_override(property_path)

Adds an override that deletes the value of a property from the resource definition.

Parameters:

property_path (str) – The path to the property.

Return type:

None

add_property_override(property_path, value)

Adds an override to a resource property.

Syntactic sugar for addOverride("Properties.<...>", value).

Parameters:
  • property_path (str) – The path of the property.

  • value (Any) – The value.

Return type:

None

apply_removal_policy(policy=None, *, apply_to_update_replace_policy=None, default=None)

Sets the deletion policy of the resource based on the removal policy specified.

The Removal Policy controls what happens to this resource when it stops being managed by CloudFormation, either because you’ve removed it from the CDK application or because you’ve made a change that requires the resource to be replaced.

The resource can be deleted (RemovalPolicy.DESTROY), or left in your AWS account for data recovery and cleanup later (RemovalPolicy.RETAIN).

Parameters:
  • policy (Optional[RemovalPolicy]) –

  • apply_to_update_replace_policy (Optional[bool]) – Apply the same deletion policy to the resource’s “UpdateReplacePolicy”. Default: true

  • default (Optional[RemovalPolicy]) – The default policy to apply in case the removal policy is not defined. Default: - Default value is resource specific. To determine the default value for a resoure, please consult that specific resource’s documentation.

Return type:

None

get_att(attribute_name)

Returns a token for an runtime attribute of this resource.

Ideally, use generated attribute accessors (e.g. resource.arn), but this can be used for future compatibility in case there is no generated attribute.

Parameters:

attribute_name (str) – The name of the attribute.

Return type:

Reference

get_metadata(key)

Retrieve a value value from the CloudFormation Resource Metadata.

Parameters:

key (str) –

See:

Return type:

Any

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/metadata-section-structure.html

Note that this is a different set of metadata from CDK node metadata; this metadata ends up in the stack template under the resource, whereas CDK node metadata ends up in the Cloud Assembly.

inspect(inspector)

Examines the CloudFormation resource and discloses attributes.

Parameters:

inspector (TreeInspector) –

  • tree inspector to collect and process attributes.

Return type:

None

override_logical_id(new_logical_id)

Overrides the auto-generated logical ID with a specific ID.

Parameters:

new_logical_id (str) – The new logical ID to use for this stack element.

Return type:

None

to_string()

Returns a string representation of this construct.

Return type:

str

Returns:

a string representation of this resource

Attributes

CFN_RESOURCE_TYPE_NAME = 'AWS::Config::ConfigurationRecorder'
cfn_options

Options for this resource, such as condition, update policy etc.

cfn_resource_type

AWS resource type.

creation_stack

return:

the stack trace of the point where this Resource was created from, sourced from the +metadata+ entry typed +aws:cdk:logicalId+, and with the bottom-most node +internal+ entries filtered.

logical_id

The logical ID for this CloudFormation stack element.

The logical ID of the element is calculated from the path of the resource node in the construct tree.

To override this value, use overrideLogicalId(newLogicalId).

Returns:

the logical ID as a stringified token. This value will only get resolved during synthesis.

name

A name for the configuration recorder.

If you don’t specify a name, AWS CloudFormation CloudFormation generates a unique physical ID and uses that ID for the configuration recorder name. For more information, see Name Type . .. epigraph:

After you create a configuration recorder, you cannot rename it. If you don't want a name that AWS CloudFormation generates, specify a value for this property.

Updates are not supported.

CfnElements must be defined within a stack scope (directly or indirectly).

Static Methods

classmethod is_cfn_element(x)

Returns true if a construct is a stack element (i.e. part of the synthesized cloudformation template).

Uses duck-typing instead of instanceof to allow stack elements from different versions of this library to be included in the same stack.

Parameters:

x (Any) –

Return type:

bool

Returns:

The construct as a stack element or undefined if it is not a stack element.

classmethod is_cfn_resource(construct)

Check whether the given construct is a CfnResource.

Parameters:

construct (IConstruct) –

Return type:

bool

classmethod is_construct(x)

Return whether the given object is a Construct.

Parameters:

x (Any) –

Return type:

bool

RecordingGroupProperty

class CfnConfigurationRecorder.RecordingGroupProperty(*, all_supported=None, include_global_resource_types=None, resource_types=None)

Bases: object

Specifies which resource types AWS Config records for configuration changes.

In the recording group, you specify whether you want to record all supported resource types or to include or exclude specific types of resources.

By default, AWS Config records configuration changes for all supported types of Regional resources that AWS Config discovers in the AWS Region in which it is running. Regional resources are tied to a Region and can be used only in that Region. Examples of Regional resources are Amazon EC2 instances and Amazon EBS volumes.

You can also have AWS Config record supported types of globally recorded resources . Globally recorded resource types are not tied to a specific Region and can be used in all Regions. The globally recorded resource types that AWS Config supports are IAM users, groups, roles, and customer managed policies. These resource types are recorded in all enabled AWS Config regions. AWS Config also supports some global resources types for Amazon Elastic Container Registry Public, AWS Global Accelerator , and Amazon Route 53; however, these resource types are not globally recorded in all enabled AWS Config regions. .. epigraph:

Global resource types onboarded to AWS Config recording after February 2022 will be recorded only in the service's home Region for the commercial partition and AWS GovCloud (US-West) for the AWS GovCloud (US) partition. You can view the Configuration Items for these new global resource types only in their home Region and AWS GovCloud (US-West).

If you don’t want AWS Config to record all resources, you can specify which types of resources AWS Config records with the resourceTypes parameter.

For a list of supported resource types, see Supported Resource Types in the AWS Config developer guide .

For more information and a table of the Home Regions for Global Resource Types Onboarded after February 2022, see Selecting Which Resources AWS Config Records in the AWS Config developer guide .

Parameters:
  • all_supported (Union[bool, IResolvable, None]) – Specifies whether AWS Config records configuration changes for all supported regional resource types. If you set this field to true , when AWS Config adds support for a new type of regional resource, AWS Config starts recording resources of that type automatically. If you set this field to true , you cannot enumerate specific resource types to record in the resourceTypes field of RecordingGroup , or to exclude in the resourceTypes field of ExclusionByResourceTypes .

  • include_global_resource_types (Union[bool, IResolvable, None]) – Specifies whether AWS Config includes all supported types of global resources (for example, IAM resources) with the resources that it records. Before you can set this option to true , you must set the AllSupported option to true . If you set this option to true , when AWS Config adds support for a new type of global resource, it starts recording resources of that type automatically. The configuration details for any global resource are the same in all regions. To prevent duplicate configuration items, you should consider customizing AWS Config in only one region to record global resources.

  • resource_types (Optional[Sequence[str]]) – A comma-separated list that specifies the types of AWS resources for which AWS Config records configuration changes (for example, AWS::EC2::Instance or AWS::CloudTrail::Trail ). To record all configuration changes, you must set the AllSupported option to false . If you set the AllSupported option to false and populate the ResourceTypes option with values, when AWS Config adds support for a new type of resource, it will not record resources of that type unless you manually add that type to your recording group. For a list of valid resourceTypes values, see the resourceType Value column in Supported AWS Resource Types .
