title: About the aws_config_delivery_channel Resource

# aws_config_delivery_channel
|
|
|
|
The AWS Config service can monitor and record changes to your AWS resource configurations. A Delivery Channel can record the changes
|
|
to an S3 Bucket, an SNS or both.
|
|
|
|
Use the `aws_config_delivery_channel` InSpec audit resource to examine how the AWS Config service delivers those change notifications.
|
|
|
|
As of April 2018, each AWS region may have only one Delivery Channel.
|

|
|
## Availability
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
This resource is distributed along with InSpec itself. You can use it automatically.
|
|
|
|
### Version
|
|
|
|
This resource first became available in v2.1.21 of InSpec.
|
|
|
|
## Resource Parameters
|
|
|
|
An `aws_config_delivery_channel` resource block declares the tests for a single AWS Config Delivery Channel.
|
|
|
|
You may specify the Delivery Channel name:
|
|
|
|
describe aws_config_delivery_channel('my_channel') do
|
|
it { should exist }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
describe aws_config_delivery_channel(channel_name: 'my-channel') do
|
|
it { should exist }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
However, since you may only have one Delivery Channel per region, and InSpec connections are per-region, you may also omit the `channel_name` to obtain the one Delivery Channel (if any) that exists:
|
|
|
|
describe aws_config_delivery_channel do
|
|
it { should exist }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
The following examples show how to use this InSpec audit resource.
|
|
|
|
### Test how frequently the channel writes configuration changes to the s3 bucket.
|
|
|
|
describe aws_config_delivery_channel(channel_name: 'my-recorder') do
|
|
its(delivery_frequency_in_hours) { should be > 3 }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
## Properties
|
|
|
|
### channel\_name
|
|
|
|
Returns the name of the Delivery Channel.
|
|
|
|
describe aws_config_delivery_channel do
|
|
its('channel_name') { should cmp 'my-channel' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
### delivery\_frequency\_in\_hours
|
|
|
|
Provides how often the AWS Config sends configuration changes to the s3 bucket in the delivery channel.
|
|
|
|
describe aws_config_delivery_channel(channel_name: 'my_channel')
|
|
its('delivery_frequency_in_hours') { should eq 24 }
|
|
its('delivery_frequency_in_hours') { should be > 24 }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
### s3\_bucket\_name
|
|
|
|
Provides the name of the s3 bucket that the channel sends configuration changes to. This is an optional value since a Delivery Channel can also talk to an SNS.
|
|
|
|
describe aws_config_delivery_channel(channel_name: 'my_channel')
|
|
its('s3_bucket_name') { should eq 'my_bucket' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
### s3\_key\_prefix
|
|
|
|
Provides the s3 object key prefix (or "path") under which configuration data will be recorded.
|
|
|
|
describe aws_config_delivery_channel(channel_name: 'my_channel')
|
|
its('s3_key_prefix') { should eq 'log/' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
### sns\_topic\_arn
|
|
|
|
Provides the ARN of the SNS topic for which the channel sends notifications about configuration changes.
|
|
|
|
describe aws_config_delivery_channel(channel_name: 'my_channel')
|
|
its('sns_topic_arn') { should eq 'arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:721741954427:sns_topic' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
