Use the advanced search feature to download a custom resource list - Cloud Config

This topic describes how to use the advanced search feature of Cloud Config to query resources and download a custom resource list.

Background information

During daily internal governance and O&M processes, enterprises that migrate business to the cloud always need to export the data of cloud resources, such as resources of a specified type and properties of a specified resource type. The advanced search feature of Cloud Config allows you to search for resources by property. This feature supports various resource types and multiple properties. This way, you can export custom resource data. In this example, a custom resource list is downloaded. The IDs, names, regions, private IP addresses, billing methods, and instance types of all Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instances of the current account are exported to the list.

Procedure

Log on to the Cloud Config console.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose Resources > Advanced.
On the Advanced page, click SQL. On the SQL tab, enter the following SQL statement in the editor.
```
SELECT ResourceId, ResourceName, RegionId, VpcAttributes.PrivateIpAddress.IpAddress, InstanceChargeType, InstanceType WHERE ResourceType = 'ACS::ECS::Instance'
```
