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).

Viewing your configuration recorders

You can use the Amazon Config console or the Amazon CLI view details about your configuration recorders.

To view your configuration recorders (Console)

  1. Sign in to the Amazon Web Services Management Console and open the Amazon Config console at https://console.amazonaws.cn/config/.

  2. Choose Settings in the navigation pane.

  3. For the customer managed configuration recorder, you can view details on the Customer managed recorder tab.

  4. For service-linked configuration recorders, choose a service-linked configuration recorders on the Service-linked recorders tab, and then choose View.

To view your configuration recorders (CLI)

Use the describe-configuration-recorders command to view details about your configuration recorders:

$ aws configservice describe-configuration-recorders
{
    "ConfigurationRecorders": [
        {
            "roleARN": "arn:aws:iam::012345678912:role/myConfigRole",
            "name": "default"
        }
    ]
}

Use the describe-configuration-recorder-status command to view the current status of your configuration recorders:

$ aws configservice describe-configuration-recorder-status
{
    "ConfigurationRecordersStatus": [
        {
            "name": "default",
            "lastStatus": "SUCCESS",
            "lastStopTime": 1414511624.914,
            "lastStartTime": 1414708460.276,
            "recording": true,
            "lastStatusChangeTime": 1414816537.148,
            "lastErrorMessage": "NA",
            "lastErrorCode": "400"
        }
    ]
}

For both of these commands, you can use the arn and configuration-recorder-names fields to specify a list of configuration recorders. For service-linked configuration recorders, you can use the service-principal field to specify a configuration recorder.

If a configuration recorder is not specified, this command returns the details of all configuration recorders associated with the account.
