GetResourceConfigurationTimeline - Cloud Config - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

Queries the configuration history of a specified resource. Cloud Config records every configuration and relationship change for a resource in a configuration history. Recording starts after you enable the Cloud Config service. By default, the history is retained for 10 years.

Operation description

Cloud Config provides a configuration history for each resource that it monitors. The details are as follows:

For existing resources, the configuration history starts when you enable the Cloud Config service.
For new resources created after you enable the service, the configuration history starts when the resource is created. Cloud Config records configuration changes every 10 minutes. When a configuration changes, a new node appears in the history. This node contains the resource configuration details, change details, and the associated management event.

This topic provides an example of how to query the configuration history for a resource named new-bucket. The resource is a bucket in the cn-hangzhou region. The response shows that the creation time of the resource is 1624961112000 (18:05:12 on June 29, 2021, UTC+8).

RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.
API: The API that you can call to perform the action.
Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.
Resource type: The type of the resource that supports authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.
- For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.
- For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.
Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.
Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.

Request parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description	Example
ResourceId	string	Yes	The ID of the resource. For more information, see ListDiscoveredResources.	new-bucket
StartTime	integer	No	The start timestamp of the time range to query. The value is a UNIX timestamp in milliseconds. If you do not specify this parameter, the query starts from 30 days before the current time.	1623211156000
EndTime	integer	No	The end timestamp of the time range to query. The value is a UNIX timestamp in milliseconds. If you do not specify this parameter, the current time is used.	1625821156000
MaxResults	integer	No	The maximum number of entries to return for a single request. Valid values: 1 to 100.	10
ResourceType	string	Yes	The resource type. For more information, see ListDiscoveredResources.	ACS::OSS::Bucket
Region	string	Yes	The region ID.	cn-hangzhou
NextToken	string	No	The pagination token that is used in the next request to retrieve a new page of results. If the response of the current request is truncated, you can use this token to retrieve the next page of results.	IWBjqMYSy0is7zSMGu16****

Response elements

Element	Type	Description	Example
	object	None.
RequestId	string	The request ID.	ED9CD1B3-286C-4E05-A765-5E1E0B9BC2AB
ResourceConfigurationTimeline	object	The configuration history of the resource.
NextToken	string	The token that is used to retrieve the next page of results.	IWBjqMYSy0is7zSMGu16****
MaxResults	integer	The maximum number of entries returned for a single request.	10
ConfigurationList	array<object>	A list of configuration history records for the resource.
	object	A record in the configuration history.
Tags	string	The tags of the resource.	{\"\"hc\"\":[\"\"value2\"\"]}
AccountId	integer	The ID of the Alibaba Cloud account to which the resource belongs.	100931896542****
ResourceEventType	string	The type of the resource change event. Valid values: DISCOVERED: A resource is discovered by Cloud Config. DISCOVERED_REVISED: A resource is discovered by Cloud Config through a periodic reconciliation task. MODIFY: A resource is modified. MODIFY_REVISED: A resource modification is recorded through a periodic reconciliation task. REMOVE: A resource is deleted. Note To ensure data integrity, Cloud Config periodically reconciles resource data. This process can generate resource discovery events, which occur infrequently. The time of an event generated by a reconciliation task is the time when the task discovers the change. This is later than the actual time of the change.	DISCOVERED
