GetResourceConfigHistory - Amazon Config
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

GetResourceConfigHistory

Important

For accurate reporting on the compliance status, you must record the AWS::Config::ResourceCompliance resource type. For more information, see Selecting Which Resources Amazon Config Records.

Returns a list of ConfigurationItems for the specified resource. The list contains details about each state of the resource during the specified time interval. If you specified a retention period to retain your ConfigurationItems between a minimum of 30 days and a maximum of 7 years (2557 days), Amazon Config returns the ConfigurationItems for the specified retention period.

The response is paginated. By default, Amazon Config returns a limit of 10 configuration items per page. You can customize this number with the limit parameter. The response includes a nextToken string. To get the next page of results, run the request again and specify the string for the nextToken parameter.

Note

Each call to the API is limited to span a duration of seven days. It is likely that the number of records returned is smaller than the specified limit. In such cases, you can make another call, using the nextToken.

Request Parameters

For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see Common Parameters.

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

chronologicalOrder

The chronological order for configuration items listed. By default, the results are listed in reverse chronological order.

Type: String

Valid Values: Reverse | Forward

Required: No

earlierTime

The chronologically earliest time in the time range for which the history requested. If not specified, the action returns paginated results that contain configuration items that start when the first configuration item was recorded.

Type: Timestamp

Required: No

laterTime

The chronologically latest time in the time range for which the history requested. If not specified, current time is taken.

Type: Timestamp

Required: No

limit

The maximum number of configuration items returned on each page. The default is 10. You cannot specify a number greater than 100. If you specify 0, Amazon Config uses the default.

Type: Integer

Valid Range: Minimum value of 0. Maximum value of 100.

Required: No

nextToken

The nextToken string returned on a previous page that you use to get the next page of results in a paginated response.

Type: String

Required: No

resourceId

The ID of the resource (for example., sg-xxxxxx).

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 768.

Required: Yes

resourceType

The resource type.

Type: String
