PutConfigurationRecorder

Creates a new configuration recorder to record configuration changes for specified resource types.

You can also use this action to change the roleARN or the recordingGroup of an existing recorder. For more information, see Managing the Configuration Recorder in the AWS Config Developer Guide.

Note

You can specify only one configuration recorder for each AWS Region for each account.

If the configuration recorder does not have the recordingGroup field specified, the default is to record all supported resource types.
