name

The name of the configuration recorder.

For customer managed configuration recorders, Config automatically assigns the name of "default" when creating a configuration recorder if you do not specify a name at creation time.

For service-linked configuration recorders, Config automatically assigns a name that has the prefix "AWS" to a new service-linked configuration recorder.

Changing the name of a configuration recorder

To change the name of the customer managed configuration recorder, you must delete it and create a new customer managed configuration recorder with a new name.

You cannot change the name of a service-linked configuration recorder.
