Rule list

This topic describes the rule list on the Rules page in the Cloud Config console. You can view the status of each rule and the compliance evaluation results returned for each rule on the Rules page.

The first time you open the Rules page, no rules are displayed on the page. After you create a rule, you can view the rule on the page. You can also view the basic information of the rule on the page. We recommend that you take note of the information in the Status and Compliance columns.
