AWS Config
Let AI connect your sources for you
Skip the manual setup — run this in your project and the wizard auto-detects your databases and APIs and connects them to PostHog.
Connect AWS Config to PostHog to sync your data into the PostHog data warehouse for analysis and modeling.
Sync resource configurations, rules, compliance status, and conformance packs from one AWS region.
Grant these IAM permissions for the tables you want to sync:
config:SelectResourceConfigconfig:DescribeConfigRulesconfig:DescribeComplianceByConfigRuleconfig:DescribeConformancePacks
Enable an AWS Config recorder for resource inventory. The resources table contains current configurations and excludes deleted resources. Add a session token if you use temporary credentials. Replace temporary credentials when they expire.
