You can choose Settings > Service Settings to enable resource monitoring and set the scope of resources to be monitored.
Enabling Resource Monitoring
You can enable resource monitoring on the Monitoring Management page. If resource monitoring is enabled for the first time, you need to authorize the corresponding role (Config_QCSLinkedRoleInConfigRecorder) and select the types of resources to be monitored. For resource types supported by Config, see Supported Resource Types.
Disabling Resource Monitoring
If resource monitoring is not needed, you can disable it on the Monitoring Management page. Once disabled, Config no longer monitors and updates resource configuration changes. The stored resource configuration data, created rules, and compliance evaluation results will be cleared and cannot be recovered. However, historical data that have been delivered to the COS bucket will not be affected.
Monitoring scope change
If you have already enabled resource monitoring, you can click Modify to change the types of resources being monitored. Monitoring scope changes will result in the addition of new resources to the resource list, corresponding updates, and re-evaluation based on existing rules and conformance packs under your account. This process is expected to take about 10-15 minutes. Please wait patiently.
