 For steps on how to run this rule in proactive mode, see [Evaluating Your Resources with AWS Config Rules](./evaluating-your-resources.html#evaluating-your-resources-proactive). For this rule to return COMPLIANT in proactive mode, the resource configuration schema for the [StartResourceEvaluation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/APIReference/API_StartResourceEvaluation.html) API needs to include the following inputs, encoded as a string: 

```
"ResourceConfiguration":
...
{
   "BucketName": "{{amzn-s3-demo-bucket}}",
   "LoggingConfiguration": {
         "DestinationBucketName": "{{amzn-s3-demo-destination-bucket}}",
         "LogFilePrefix":"{{my-log}}"
   }
}
...
```
