# aws\_config\_recorder
|
|
|
|
Use the `aws_config_recorder` InSpec audit resource to test properties of your AWS Config Service.
|
|
|
|
The AWS Config service can monitor and record changes to your AWS resource configurations. The Aws Config Recorder is used to detect changes in resource configurations and capture these changes as configuration items.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Syntax
|
|
|
|
An `aws_config_recorder` resource block declares the tests for a single AWS configuration recorder.
|
|
|
|
describe aws_config_recorder('my_recorder') do
|
|
it { should exist }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
describe aws_config_recorder(recorder_name: 'my-recorder') do
|
|
it { should exist }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
The following examples show how to use this InSpec audit resource.
|
|
|
|
### Test if the recorder is active and recording.
|
|
|
|
describe aws_config_recorder(recorder_name: 'my-recorder') do
|
|
it { should be_recording }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
## Properties
|
|
|
|
### role\_arn
|
|
|
|
Provides the IAM role arn associated with the configuration recorder. The role is used to grant permissions to S3 Buckets, SNS topics and to get configuration details for supported AWS resources.
|
|
|
|
describe aws_config_recorder(username: 'bob')
|
|
its('role_arn') { should eq 'arn:aws:iam::721741954427:role/My_Recorder' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
### resource\_types
|
|
|
|
Provides a list of AWS resource types for which the AWS Config records configuration will change. Note that if be_recording_all_resource_types is true than this property is meaningless and will return and empty array.
|
|
|
|
describe aws_config_recorder(username: 'bob')
|
|
its('resource_types') { should include 'AWS::EC2::CustomerGateway' }
|
|
its('resource_types') { should include 'AWS::EC2::EIP' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
## Matchers
|
|
|
|
### be\_recording\_all\_resource\_types
|
|
|
|
Indicates if the ConfigurationRecorder will record changes for all resources, regardless of type. If this is true, resource_types is ignored.
|
|
|
|
it { should be_all_supported }
|
|
|
|
### be\_recording\_all\_global\_types
|
|
|
|
Indicates whether the ConfigurationRecorder will record changes for global resource types (such as IAM Users).
|
|
|
|
it { should be_recording_all_global_types }
|
|
