Summary

Expanded lifecycle status documentation for online evaluations, added failure states (CREATE_FAILED/UPDATE_FAILED/ERROR) and troubleshooting guidance including IAM/permission issues.

Security assessment

Documents operational security considerations (IAM roles, permissions) for evaluation configurations but doesn't address specific vulnerabilities. Enhances security awareness around misconfiguration risks.

+Use this API to monitor the configuration’s lifecycle status (`ACTIVE`, `CREATING`, `CREATE_FAILED`, `UPDATING`, `UPDATE_FAILED`, `DELETING`, or `ERROR`), check current execution status (`ENABLED` or `DISABLED`), and retrieve all configuration parameters including evaluator lists, data source settings, and output destinations.
+
+## Lifecycle status
+
+The `status` field on an online evaluation configuration reports its lifecycle state, which is separate from the `executionStatus` field that controls whether the evaluation job is actively processing traces.
+
+  * `ACTIVE` – The configuration is fully provisioned and ready to use.
+
+  * `CREATING` – The configuration is being provisioned. Wait for it to transition to `ACTIVE` before updating or deleting.
+
+  * `CREATE_FAILED` – Creation did not complete successfully. You cannot update a configuration in this state; call `DeleteOnlineEvaluationConfig` to remove it and then create a new one.
+
+  * `UPDATING` – An update is in progress. Wait for the operation to complete before making additional changes.
+
+  * `UPDATE_FAILED` – The most recent update did not apply. You can retry by calling `UpdateOnlineEvaluationConfig` again or remove the configuration with `DeleteOnlineEvaluationConfig`.
+
+  * `DELETING` – The configuration is being removed.
+
+  * `ERROR` – A problem occurred that requires your action. Check the `failureReason` field to identify the issue. Common causes include insufficient IAM role access, missing log group permissions, and exceeded service quotas. After fixing the issue, call `UpdateOnlineEvaluationConfig` to retry or `DeleteOnlineEvaluationConfig` to remove the configuration.
