Config Recorder Meta

Resource Type

AWS.Config.Recorder.Meta

Resource ID Format

For Config Recorder Meta resources, the resource ID is constructed as such:

[AccountId]::AWS.Config.Recorder.Meta

Example:

123456789012::AWS.Config.Recorder.Meta

This allows you to differentiate between Config Recorder Meta resources across all AWS accounts you have linked by looking at the characters before the first colon.

Background

This resource tracks metadata on all AWS Config Recorders within an AWS account. Best practice dictates that a configuration recorder should be setup in each region, and at least one of them should track all resources.

Fields

Field	Type	Description
GlobalRecorderCount	Int	The number of AWS Config resources configured to monitor global resources within the account
Recorders	List	A list of the resource IDs of all recorders in the account
