<p>The query you can use to define a resource group or a search for resources. A <code>ResourceQuery</code> specifies both a query <code>Type</code> and a <code>Query</code> string as JSON string objects. See the examples section for example JSON strings. For more information about creating a resource group with a resource query, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ARG/latest/userguide/gettingstarted-query.html">Build queries and groups in Resource Groups</a> in the <i>Resource Groups User Guide</i> </p> <p>When you combine all of the elements together into a single string, any double quotes that are embedded inside another double quote pair must be escaped by preceding the embedded double quote with a backslash character (\). For example, a complete <code>ResourceQuery</code> parameter must be formatted like the following CLI parameter example:</p> <p> <code>--resource-query '{"Type":"TAG_FILTERS_1_0","Query":"{\"ResourceTypeFilters\":[\"AWS::AllSupported\"],\"TagFilters\":[{\"Key\":\"Stage\",\"Values\":[\"Test\"]}]}"}'</code> </p> <p>In the preceding example, all of the double quote characters in the value part of the <code>Query</code> element must be escaped because the value itself is surrounded by double quotes. For more information, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-usage-parameters-quoting-strings.html">Quoting strings</a> in the <i>Command Line Interface User Guide</i>.</p> <p>For the complete list of resource types that you can use in the array value for <code>ResourceTypeFilters</code>, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ARG/latest/userguide/supported-resources.html">Resources you can use with Resource Groups and Tag Editor</a> in the <i>Resource Groups User Guide</i>. For example:</p> <p> <code>"ResourceTypeFilters":["AWS::S3::Bucket", "AWS::EC2::Instance"]</code> </p>

<p>A configuration associates the resource group with an Amazon Web Services service and specifies how the service can interact with the resources in the group. A configuration is an array of <a>GroupConfigurationItem</a> elements. For details about the syntax of service configurations, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ARG/latest/APIReference/about-slg.html">Service configurations for Resource Groups</a>.</p> <note> <p>A resource group can contain either a <code>Configuration</code> or a <code>ResourceQuery</code>, but not both.</p> </note>
