 ** ComplianceResourceId **   <a name="config-Type-Evaluation-ComplianceResourceId"></a>
The ID of the AWS resource that was evaluated.  
Type: String  
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 768.  
Required: Yes

 ** ComplianceResourceType **   <a name="config-Type-Evaluation-ComplianceResourceType"></a>
The type of AWS resource that was evaluated.  
Type: String  
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 256.  
Required: Yes

 ** ComplianceType **   <a name="config-Type-Evaluation-ComplianceType"></a>
Indicates whether the AWS resource complies with the AWS Config rule that it was evaluated against.  
For the `Evaluation` data type, AWS Config supports only the `COMPLIANT`, `NON_COMPLIANT`, and `NOT_APPLICABLE` values. AWS Config does not support the `INSUFFICIENT_DATA` value for this data type.  
Similarly, AWS Config does not accept `INSUFFICIENT_DATA` as the value for `ComplianceType` from a `PutEvaluations` request. For example, an AWS Lambda function for a custom AWS Config rule cannot pass an `INSUFFICIENT_DATA` value to AWS Config.  
Type: String  
Valid Values: `COMPLIANT | NON_COMPLIANT | NOT_APPLICABLE | INSUFFICIENT_DATA`   
Required: Yes

 ** OrderingTimestamp **   <a name="config-Type-Evaluation-OrderingTimestamp"></a>
The time of the event in AWS Config that triggered the evaluation. For event-based evaluations, the time indicates when AWS Config created the configuration item that triggered the evaluation. For periodic evaluations, the time indicates when AWS Config triggered the evaluation at the frequency that you specified (for example, every 24 hours).  
Type: Timestamp  
Required: Yes

 ** Annotation **   <a name="config-Type-Evaluation-Annotation"></a>
Supplementary information about how the evaluation determined the compliance.  
Type: String  
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 256.  
Required: No
