finding lost resource using AWS config.

AWS Config does support tracking ElastiCache resources, but it's possible you're not seeing them for a few reasons:

1. ElastiCache resources might be listed under a different name or category. In the AWS Config console, you should look for resource types that start with "AWS::ElastiCache::". For example, you might find "AWS::ElastiCache::CacheCluster" or "AWS::ElastiCache::ReplicationGroup".

2. It's possible that AWS Config is not set up to record ElastiCache resources in your account or region. AWS Config needs to be configured to track specific resource types. If ElastiCache resources are not being recorded, you may need to update your AWS Config settings to include these resource types.

3. If the ElastiCache resource was recently deleted, it might take some time for AWS Config to register and display the change. AWS Config periodically checks and updates resource configurations, so there could be a delay before a deleted resource appears in the AWS Config history.

4. In some cases, certain resource types might not be supported in all regions. Make sure you're looking in the correct region where your ElastiCache resources were deployed.

If you still can't find the ElastiCache resources, you might want to check if AWS Config is properly set up and recording all relevant resource types. You can do this by reviewing your configuration recorder settings in the AWS Config console.

Remember, even for deleted resources, AWS Config should maintain a record of their configuration history. If the resource was tracked before deletion, you should be able to find it in the AWS Config history, marked with a "ResourceDeleted" status.

If you're still unable to locate the resources, you might want to consider using other AWS services like CloudTrail in conjunction with AWS Config to get a more comprehensive view of resource activities and changes in your AWS environment.

Yes, you can track ElastiCache resources in AWS Config, but they are listed under specific resource types. Here's how to find them:

The ElastiCache resources in AWS Config are registered under these names:

AWS::ElastiCache::CacheCluster - For individual cache clusters
AWS::ElastiCache::ReplicationGroup - For replication groups
AWS::ElastiCache::SubnetGroup - For cache subnet groups
AWS::ElastiCache::ParameterGroup - For parameter groups

To find deleted ElastiCache resources:

1. Go to AWS Config console
   

2. Navigate to "Resources" section
   

3. In the resource type filter, search for "elasticache"
   

4. Select the appropriate resource type from above
   

5. You can filter by resource status "Deleted"
   

Additional tips:

1. Enable "Include deleted resources" checkbox if you don't see the deleted resources
   

2. Check the resource timeline to see when and who deleted the resource
   

3. You can also use AWS Config rules to monitor ElastiCache configuration changes
   

4. Make sure AWS Config is recording the ElastiCache resource types you want to track
   

If you still can't find the resources, verify that:

1. AWS Config is properly configured in your region
   

2. The resource types are selected for recording
   

3. The deletion occurred after AWS Config was enabled
