The following code examples show how to use `DescribeConfigRuleEvaluationStatus`.

------
#### [ CLI ]

**AWS CLI**  
**To get status information for an AWS Config rule**  
The following command returns the status information for an AWS Config rule named `MyConfigRule`:  

```
aws configservice describe-config-rule-evaluation-status --config-rule-names MyConfigRule
```
Output:  

```
{
    "ConfigRulesEvaluationStatus": [
        {
            "ConfigRuleArn": "arn:aws:config:us-east-1:123456789012:config-rule/config-rule-abcdef",
            "FirstActivatedTime": 1450311703.844,
            "ConfigRuleId": "config-rule-abcdef",
            "LastSuccessfulInvocationTime": 1450314643.156,
            "ConfigRuleName": "MyConfigRule"
        }
    ]
}
```
