  2. Use the delete-configuration-recorder command to delete your customer managed current configuration recorder:

    $ aws configservice delete-configuration-recorder --configuration-recorder-name default
  3. Use the put-configuration-recorder command to create a customer managed configuration recorder with the new name:
