Creating report plans using the AWS Backup API

You can also work with report plans programmatically.

There are two types of reports. One type is a jobs report, which shows jobs finished in the last 24 hours and all active jobs. The second type of report is a compliance report. Compliance reports can monitor resource levels or the different controls that are in effect. When you create a report, you choose which type of report to create.

Similar to a backup plan, you create a report plan to automate the creation of your reports and define their destination Amazon S3 bucket. A report plan requires that you have an S3 bucket to receive your reports. For instructions on setting up a new S3 bucket, see Step 1: Create your first S3 bucket in the Amazon Simple Storage Service User Guide.

If you encrypt your bucket using a custom KMS key, the KMS key policy must meet the following requirements:

The policy AWSServiceRolePolicyForBackupReports has these permissions.

For single-account, single-Region reports, use the following syntax to call CreateReportPlan.

{
   "ReportPlanName": "string",
   "ReportPlanDescription": "string",
   "ReportSetting": {
        "ReportTemplate": enum, // Can be RESOURCE_COMPLIANCE_REPORT, CONTROL_COMPLIANCE_REPORT, BACKUP_JOB_REPORT, COPY_JOB_REPORT, or RESTORE_JOB_REPORT. Only include "ReportCoverageList" if your report is a COMPLIANCE_REPORT.
   "ReportDeliveryChannel": {
       "S3BucketName": "string",
       "S3KeyPrefix": "string",
       "Formats": [ enum ] // Optional. Can be either CSV, JSON, or both. Default is CSV if left blank.
   },
   "ReportPlanTags": { 
       "string" : "string" // Optional.
   },
   "IdempotencyToken": "string"
}

When you call DescribeReportPlan with the unique name of a report plan, the AWS Backup API responds with the following information.

{
    "ReportPlanArn": "string",
    "ReportPlanName": "string",
    "ReportPlanDescription": "string",
    "ReportSetting": {
        "ReportTemplate": enum,
    },
    "ReportDeliveryChannel": {
        "S3BucketName": "string",
        "S3KeyPrefix": "string",
        "Formats": [ enum ]
    },
    "DeploymentStatus": enum
    "CreationTime": timestamp,
    "LastAttemptExecutionTime": timestamp,
    "LastSuccessfulExecutionTime": timestamp
}

For multi-account, multi-Region reports, use the following syntax to call CreateReportPlan.

{
   "IdempotencyToken": "string",
   "ReportDeliveryChannel": { 
      "Formats": [ "string" ], *//Organization report only support CSV file*
      "S3BucketName": "string",
      "S3KeyPrefix": "string"
   },
   "ReportPlanDescription": "string",
   "ReportPlanName": "string",
   "ReportPlanTags": { 
      "string" : "string" 
   },
   "ReportSetting": { 
      "Accounts": [ "string" ], // Use string value of "ROOT" to include all organizational units
      "OrganizationUnits": [ "string" ],
      "Regions": ["string"], // Use wildcard value in string to include all Regions
      "FrameworkArns": [ "string" ],
      "NumberOfFrameworks": number,
      "ReportTemplate": "string"
   }
}

When you call DescribeReportPlan with the unique name of a report plan, the AWS Backup API responds with the following information for multi-account, multi-Region plans:

{
   "ReportPlan": { 
      "CreationTime": number,
      "DeploymentStatus": "string",
      "LastAttemptedExecutionTime": number,
      "LastSuccessfulExecutionTime": number,
      "ReportDeliveryChannel": { 
         "Formats": [ "string" ],
         "S3BucketName": "string",
         "S3KeyPrefix": "string"
      },
      "ReportPlanArn": "string",
      "ReportPlanDescription": "string",
      "ReportPlanName": "string",
      "ReportSetting": { 
         "Accounts":[ "string" ],
         "OrganizationUnits":[ "string" ],
         "Regions": [ "string" ], 
         "FrameworkArns": [ "string" ],
         "NumberOfFrameworks": number,
         "ReportTemplate": "string"
      }
   }
}
