Scenario

This section describes how to filter resources on the Config console. You can get details about resources, such as the region and state.

NOTE:

To use the resource list, you must enable the resource recorder. If no resources are displayed on the resource list page, check if the resource recorder is enabled, if the resource type is within the configured monitoring scope, or if the service or resource is supported by Config.

There is a delay in synchronizing data to Config, so if there is a resource change, the change may not be updated in the resource list immediately. If the resource recorder is enabled, Config will update resource changes within 24 hours.

Preparations

If you already have a Huawei account, skip this step. If you do not have one, follow the following steps to create one:
1. Go to Huawei Cloud and click Sign Up.
2. Sign up for a Huawei account and enable Huawei Cloud services.
  After your account is created, you will be directed to your personal information page.
3. Complete real-name authentication by following the instructions in Individual Real-Name Authentication or Enterprise Real-Name Authentication.
Topping Up Your Account
Config is free of charge, but the SMN topic and the OBS bucket that you configured for the resource recorder will be charged. For details, see SMN billing and OBS billing.

Ensure your account has sufficient balance to avoid unavailability of the resource recorder and other functions of Config. For more details, see Topping up an Account.
Enabling the Resource Recorder
To use the resource list, the resource recorder must be enabled.

Procedure

Log in to the management console.
Click in the upper left corner of the page. Under Management & Governance, select Config.

By default, the Resource List displays the resources that you have and are within the monitoring scope of the resource recorder.
Set filters (service, resource type, and region) to search for resources. For global services, you do not need to set the region.

In the search box in the middle of the page, set more refined filters to narrow down the search scope.

Filter	Description
Name	Resource name. Fuzzy search is supported. The resource name is case-insensitive.
Resource ID	Resource ID. Fuzzy search is supported. The resource ID is case-sensitive.
Resource status	Resource status. Possible resource states include: In use: A resource is being used. Deleted: A resource has been deleted.
Tag	Resource tag. You can select a tag key and one or all values of this key to filter resources.
Enterprise project	The enterprise project which resources belong to. If you select an enterprise project, resources in this enterprise project will be displayed. NOTE: To filter resources by enterprise project, you need to enable Enterprise Center first.
