AWS Newbie here.

Guys, can you help on how to can get/view the current count of AWS Config rules evaluations?

From the link provided:

A rule evaluation is recorded every time a resource is evaluated for compliance against an AWS Config rule.

When you evaluate your rules using periodic triggers, calculations of the number of evaluations is straightforward, e.g. once every 24 hours.

However, since Config does not have any CloudWatch Metrics, monitoring the triggers based on Configuration changes is getting tricky. One way to overcome this in an automated way, would be to setup SNS notifications for Config. The SNS could trigger a lambda each time a rule is being evaulated (i.e. a resource is being created/deleted or changed) and have the lambda produce a custom metric for that.

  • Thank you for your reply. I will check that option. Hopefully AWS will add an current count for Config resources changes for us to know the pricing better rather than doing an estimation. – mr1110 Jun 09 '20 at 04:10
  • @markreyes1110 No problem. Probably in cost explorer you should find some details, but its not real time like CW metrics would be. – Marcin Jun 09 '20 at 04:11
