What CGPulse checks

How to fix it
Enable AWS Config recording for all resource types to track configuration changes. In AWS Console: AWS Config > Settings > enable recording for all resource types. See: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/developerguide/gs-console.html
Terraform
resource "aws_config_configuration_recorder" "{name}" {
role_arn = aws_iam_role.config.arn
recording_group {
all_supported = true
}
