Resource Recorder

Are Resource Snapshots and Resource Change Notifications Stored into the Same OBS Bucket?

Yes, they are stored into the same OBS bucket.

When you are enabling or configuring the resource recorder, if you enable the resource dump function and configure an OBS bucket, resource snapshots and resource change notifications will be periodically stored into the configured OBS bucket.

How Often Are Resource Snapshots and Resource Change Notifications Stored, Respectively?

If you enable and configure the resource recorder, it stores resource snapshots every 24 hours and stores resource change notifications every 6 hours to the OBS bucket you specified.

Do I Need to Configure Both Topic and Resource Dump When I Enable and Configure the Resource Recorder?

No. You can specify either Topic or Resource Dump.

Why Can't I Receive a Notification After I Configured the Resource Recorder and the Resources Are Changed?

The possible causes are as follows:

• When you were configuring the resource recorder, you have not configured an SMN topic. To receive resource change notifications, configure Topic when you modify the resource recorder.
• When you were configuring the resource recorder, you have created an SMN topic, but you have not added subscriptions to it and requested confirmations.

  For details, see Simple Message Notification User Guide.

Why Are Resource Change Notifications Not Stored into the Configured OBS Bucket After I Configured the Resource Recorder?

To store resource change notifications, you need to configure both Topic and Data Storage on the Resource Recorder page.

Check whether you have configured both of them.

Why Do I Receive a Notification When I Did Nothing with a Resource?

After you enable the resource recorder, Config notifies you of resource changes, including attribute changes and data structure changes of resource attributes that were not a result of your own actions. In this case, you are advised not to receive notifications from Config using SMS messages or emails.
