CfnIndex

Turns on Resource Explorer in the AWS Region in which you called this operation by creating an index. Resource Explorer begins discovering the resources in this Region and stores the details about the resources in the index so that they can be queried by using the [Search](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/resource-explorer/latest/apireference/API_Search.html) operation. You can create either a local index that returns search results from only the AWS Region in which the index exists, or you can create an aggregator index that returns search results from all AWS Regions in the AWS account . For more details about what happens when you turn on Resource Explorer in an AWS Region , see [Turning on Resource Explorer to index your resources in an AWS Region](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/resource-explorer/latest/userguide/manage-service-activate.html) in the *AWS Resource Explorer User Guide.* If this is the first AWS Region in which you've created an index for Resource Explorer, this operation also creates a service-linked role in your AWS account that allows Resource Explorer to search for your resources and populate the index.
