Cloud Config:Modify a rule

Last Updated:Aug 07, 2023

If existing rules cannot meet your compliance requirements, you can modify the rules.

Background information

If you have created a compliance package, you can modify the rules in the package. For more information, see Modify a compliance package.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the Cloud Config console.

  2. Optional. In the upper-left corner, select an account group.

    This operation is required only if you are using a management account of a resource directory. Otherwise, you do not need to perform the operation.

  3. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Compliance & Audit > Rules.

  4. On the Rules page, find the rule that you want to modify, and click Modify in the Actions column.

  5. In the Set Basic Properties step, configure the Rule Name, Parameter Settings, Risk Level, Trigger, Tags, and Description parameters. Then, click Next.

  6. In the Set Resource Scope step, select the resources that you want to evaluate from the All Resource Type box, and click Next.

    When you modify a rule that is created based on a managed rule, you can configure the Excluded Resource IDs, Effective for the designated resource groups, Effective for designated regions, and Effective for designated tags parameters to narrow down the scope of applicable resources.

  7. In the Set Remediation step, click Submit.

    You can turn on Set Remediation and configure template remediation or custom remediation for the rule as prompted. For more information about how to configure remediation, see Overview of remediation settings.
