<p>Configures and starts the asynchronous process of rotating the secret. For information about rotation, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/secretsmanager/latest/userguide/rotating-secrets.html">Rotate secrets</a> in the <i>Secrets Manager User Guide</i>. If you include the configuration parameters, the operation sets the values for the secret and then immediately starts a rotation. If you don't include the configuration parameters, the operation starts a rotation with the values already stored in the secret. </p> <p>When rotation is successful, the <code>AWSPENDING</code> staging label might be attached to the same version as the <code>AWSCURRENT</code> version, or it might not be attached to any version. If the <code>AWSPENDING</code> staging label is present but not attached to the same version as <code>AWSCURRENT</code>, then any later invocation of <code>RotateSecret</code> assumes that a previous rotation request is still in progress and returns an error. When rotation is unsuccessful, the <code>AWSPENDING</code> staging label might be attached to an empty secret version. For more information, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/secretsmanager/latest/userguide/troubleshoot_rotation.html">Troubleshoot rotation</a> in the <i>Secrets Manager User Guide</i>.</p> <p>Secrets Manager generates a CloudTrail log entry when you call this action.
