Renaming the Configuration Recorder

You must use the Amazon CLI to rename the configuration recorder. To change the configuration recorder name, you must delete it and create a new configuration recorder with your specified name.

Renaming the configuration recorder using the Amazon CLI

  1. Use the describe-configuration-recorders command to look up the name of your current configuration recorder:

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

  2. Use the delete-configuration-recorder command to delete your current configuration recorder:

    $ aws configservice delete-configuration-recorder --configuration-recorder-name default

  3. Use the put-configuration-recorder command to create a configuration recorder with the desired name:

    $ aws configservice put-configuration-recorder --configuration-recorder name=configRecorderName,roleARN=arn:aws:iam::012345678912:role/myConfigRole

  4. Use the start-configuration-recorder command to resume recording:

    $ aws configservice start-configuration-recorder --configuration-recorder-name configRecorderName
