  • You must have an Amazon Web Services Business Support+, Amazon Web Services Enterprise Support, or Amazon Web Services Unified Operations plan to use the Amazon Web Services Support API. If you're in an Amazon Web Services Region that doesn't offer one of these Amazon Web Services Support plans, or if you haven't transitioned to one of these plans, you can use the Amazon Web Services Support API with a Business, Enterprise On-Ramp, or Enterprise Support plan.

  • If you call the Amazon Web Services Support API from an account that doesn't have an Amazon Web Services Business Support+, Amazon Web Services Enterprise Support, or Amazon Web Services Unified Operations plan, the SubscriptionRequiredException error message appears. For information about changing your support plan, see Amazon Web Services Support. To call the Trusted Advisor operations in the Amazon Web Services Support API, you must use the US East (N. Virginia) endpoint. Currently, the US West (Oregon) and Europe (Ireland) endpoints don't support the Trusted Advisor operations. For more information, see About the Amazon Web Services Support API in the Amazon Web Services Support User Guide.

Understanding the Trusted Advisor Resources processed value

The Resources processed value, resourcesProcessed, usually shows both flagged resources (those with warnings or errors) and resources in good standing (ok status resources). However, some checks report flagged resources only. To understand what a specific check reports, review the detailed check information in the Trusted Advisor check reference. If you see a Green criterion listed in the Alert criteria, then the check reports all resources. If there's no Green criterion listed in the Alert criteria, then the check reports only flagged resources. For example, the Amazon EC2 Reserved Instance optimization check (cX3c2R1chu) doesn't list a Green criterion in the Alert criteria. So, this check only reports flagged resources.
