name : describe-compliance-by-resource.rst **To get compliance information for your AWS resources** The following command returns compliance information for each EC2 instance that is recorded by AWS Config and that violates one or more rules:: aws configservice describe-compliance-by-resource --resource-type AWS::EC2::Instance --compliance-types NON_COMPLIANT In the output, the value for each ``CappedCount`` attribute indicates how many rules the resource violates. For example, the following output indicates that instance ``i-1a2b3c4d`` violates 2 rules. Output:: { "ComplianceByResources": [ { "ResourceType": "AWS::EC2::Instance", "ResourceId": "i-1a2b3c4d", "Compliance": { "ComplianceContributorCount": { "CappedCount": 2, "CapExceeded": false }, "ComplianceType": "NON_COMPLIANT" } }, { "ResourceType": "AWS::EC2::Instance", "ResourceId": "i-2a2b3c4d ", "Compliance": { "ComplianceContributorCount": { "CappedCount": 3, "CapExceeded": false }, "ComplianceType": "NON_COMPLIANT" } } ] }
