Use GetComplianceSummaryByResourceType with an Amazon SDK or CLI

To get the compliance summary for all resource types

The following command returns the number of Amazon resources that are noncompliant and the number that are compliant:

aws configservice get-compliance-summary-by-resource-type

In the output, the value for each CappedCount attribute indicates how many resources are compliant or noncompliant.

Output:

{
    "ComplianceSummariesByResourceType": [
        {
            "ComplianceSummary": {
                "NonCompliantResourceCount": {
                    "CappedCount": 16,
                    "CapExceeded": false
                },
                "ComplianceSummaryTimestamp": 1453237464.543,
                "CompliantResourceCount": {
                    "CappedCount": 10,
                    "CapExceeded": false
                }
            }
        }
    ]
}

To get the compliance summary for a specific resource type

The following command returns the number of EC2 instances that are noncompliant and the number that are compliant:

aws configservice get-compliance-summary-by-resource-type --resource-types AWS::EC2::Instance

In the output, the value for each CappedCount attribute indicates how many resources are compliant or noncompliant.

Output:

{
    "ComplianceSummariesByResourceType": [
        {
            "ResourceType": "AWS::EC2::Instance",
            "ComplianceSummary": {
                "NonCompliantResourceCount": {
                    "CappedCount": 3,
                    "CapExceeded": false
                },
                "ComplianceSummaryTimestamp": 1452204923.518,
                "CompliantResourceCount": {
                    "CappedCount": 7,
                    "CapExceeded": false
                }
            }
        }
    ]
}

Example 1: This sample returns the number of resources that are compliant or noncompliant and converts the output to json.

  "CompliantResourceCount": {
    "CapExceeded": false,
    "CappedCount": 2
  },
  "NonCompliantResourceCount": {
    "CapExceeded": true,
    "CappedCount": 100
  }
