Cloud Config:ListResourcesByAdvancedSearch

Last Updated:Aug 28, 2026

Queries resources by resource property fields using a SQL SELECT statement.

Operation description

When you write a SELECT statement, obtain the fields and their data types from the property file of the target resource type. For more information about property files, see Alibaba Cloud Config Resource Schema.

Note
  • Each Cloud Config resource type has a property file named after the resource type. For example, the property file of the ACS::ECS::Instance resource type is named ACS_ECS_Instance.properties.json. Property files are located under the config/properties/resource-types path.

  • For more information about the examples and limits on SQL query statements, see Examples of SQL query statements and Limits on SQL query statements.

The following example uses advanced search to obtain all resources in the current account that have the tag key business and tag value online.

Test

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.
