Cloud Config:Disable a rule

Last Updated:Aug 07, 2023

This topic describes how to disable a rule that is no longer required.

Prerequisites

The value in the Operation Status column of the rule that you want to delete is Enable.

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. Disable one or more rules based on your business requirements.

    • Disable a rule

      On the Rules page, find the rule that you want to disable and click Disable Rule in the Actions column.

    • Disable multiple rules at a time

      On the Rules page, find the rules that you want to disable, select the check boxes next to the rules, and then click Disable below the rule list.

  5. View the status of the rules.

    The values in the Operation Status column of the rules change to Disabled. If you disable a rule, the rule is no longer in effect. The most recent compliance evaluation result that is returned before the rule is disabled is displayed in the NonCompliant Resource column.
