**To record all supported resources** The following command creates a configuration recorder that tracks changes to all supported resource types, including global resource types:: aws configservice put-configuration-recorder --configuration-recorder name=default,roleARN=arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/config-role --recording-group allSupported=true,includeGlobalResourceTypes=true **To record specific types of resources** The following command creates a configuration recorder that tracks changes to only those types of resources that are specified in the JSON file for the `--recording-group` option:: aws configservice put-configuration-recorder --configuration-recorder name=default,roleARN=arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/config-role --recording-group file://recordingGroup.json `recordingGroup.json` is a JSON file that specifies the types of resources that AWS Config will record:: { "allSupported": false, "includeGlobalResourceTypes": false, "resourceTypes": [ "AWS::EC2::EIP", "AWS::EC2::Instance", "AWS::EC2::NetworkAcl", "AWS::EC2::SecurityGroup", "AWS::CloudTrail::Trail", "AWS::EC2::Volume", "AWS::EC2::VPC", "AWS::IAM::User", "AWS::IAM::Policy" ] } Before you can specify resource types for the `resourceTypes` key, you must set the `allSupported` and `includeGlobalResourceTypes` options to false or omit them. If the command succeeds, AWS Config returns no output. To verify the settings of your configuration recorder, run the `describe-configuration-recorders`__ command. .. __: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/configservice/describe-configuration-recorders.html
