keywordValue

The value of the keyword that's used when mapping a control data source. For example, this can be a CloudTrail event name, a rule name for Config, a Security Hub control, or the name of an Amazon Web Services API call.

If you’re mapping a data source to a rule in Config, the keywordValue that you specify depends on the type of rule:

  • For managed rules, you can use the rule identifier as the keywordValue. You can find the rule identifier from the list of Config managed rules. For some rules, the rule identifier is different from the rule name. For example, the rule name restricted-ssh has the following rule identifier: INCOMING_SSH_DISABLED. Make sure to use the rule identifier, not the rule name. Keyword example for managed rules:

  • For custom rules, you form the keywordValue by adding the Custom_ prefix to the rule name. This prefix distinguishes the custom rule from a managed rule. Keyword example for custom rules:

    • Custom rule name: my-custom-config-rulekeywordValue: Custom_my-custom-config-rule

  • For service-linked rules, you form the keywordValue by adding the Custom_ prefix to the rule name. In addition, you remove the suffix ID that appears at the end of the rule name. Keyword examples for service-linked rules:

    • Service-linked rule name: CustomRuleForAccount-conformance-pack-szsm1uv0wkeywordValue: Custom_CustomRuleForAccount-conformance-pack

    • Service-linked rule name: OrgConfigRule-s3-bucket-versioning-enabled-dbgzf8bakeywordValue: Custom_OrgConfigRule-s3-bucket-versioning-enabled

The keywordValue is case sensitive. If you enter a value incorrectly, Audit Manager might not recognize the data source mapping. As a result, you might not successfully collect evidence from that data source as intended.

Keep in mind the following requirements, depending on the data source type that you're using.

  • For Config:

    • For managed rules, make sure that the keywordValue is the rule identifier in ALL_CAPS_WITH_UNDERSCORES. For example, CLOUDWATCH_LOG_GROUP_ENCRYPTED. For accuracy, we recommend that you reference the list of supported Config managed rules.

    • For custom rules, make sure that the keywordValue has the Custom_ prefix followed by the custom rule name. The format of the custom rule name itself may vary. For accuracy, we recommend that you visit the Config console to verify your custom rule name.

  • For Security Hub: The format varies for Security Hub control names. For accuracy, we recommend that you reference the list of supported Security Hub controls.

  • For Amazon Web Services API calls: Make sure that the keywordValue is written as serviceprefix_ActionName. For example, iam_ListGroups. For accuracy, we recommend that you reference the list of supported API calls.

  • For CloudTrail: Make sure that the keywordValue is written as serviceprefix_ActionName. For example, cloudtrail_StartLogging. For accuracy, we recommend that you review the Amazon Web Service prefix and action names in the Service Authorization Reference.
