AWS Newbie here.
Guys, can you help on how to can get/view the current count of AWS Config rules evaluations?
From the link provided:
A rule evaluation is recorded every time a resource is evaluated for compliance against an AWS Config rule.
When you evaluate your rules using periodic triggers, calculations of the number of evaluations is straightforward, e.g. once every 24 hours.
However, since Config does not have any CloudWatch Metrics, monitoring the triggers based on Configuration changes is getting tricky. One way to overcome this in an automated way, would be to setup SNS notifications for Config. The SNS could trigger a lambda each time a rule is being evaulated (i.e. a resource is being created/deleted or changed) and have the lambda produce a custom metric for that.
