StartConfigRulesEvaluation when you want to test that a rule you updated is working as expected. StartConfigRulesEvaluation does not re-record the latest configuration state for your resources. It re-runs an evaluation against the last known state of your resources. StartConfigRulesEvaluation call for the specified rules must complete before you can call the API again. If you chose to have Config stream to an Amazon SNS topic, you will receive a ConfigRuleEvaluationStarted notification when the evaluation starts.StartConfigRulesEvaluation API is useful if you want to run on-demand evaluations, such as the following example:-
You have a custom rule that evaluates your IAM resources every 24 hours. -
You update your Lambda function to add additional conditions to your rule. -
Instead of waiting for the next periodic evaluation, you call the StartConfigRulesEvaluationAPI. -
Config invokes your Lambda function and evaluates your IAM resources. -
Your custom rule will still run periodic evaluations every 24 hours.
