#  detect-stack-resource-drift  Â¶

##  Description  Â¶

Returns information about whether a resourceâs actual configuration differs,
or has _drifted_ , from its expected configuration, as defined in the stack
template and any values specified as template parameters. This information
includes actual and expected property values for resources in which
CloudFormation detects drift. Only resource properties explicitly defined in
the stack template are checked for drift. For more information about stack and
resource drift, see [ Detecting Unregulated Configuration Changes to Stacks
and Resources
](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/using-cfn-
stack-drift.html) .

Use ` DetectStackResourceDrift  ` to detect drift on individual resources, or
DetectStackDrift to detect drift on all resources in a given stack that
support drift detection.

Resources that donât currently support drift detection canât be checked.
For a list of resources that support drift detection, see [ Resources that
Support Drift Detection
](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/using-cfn-
stack-drift-resource-list.html) .
