Last Updated:Nov 04, 2025

This topic introduces the relevant settings for governance maturity checks, including configuring check items, managing check tasks, and subscribing to governance reports.

Configure check items

For some governance maturity check items, you can customize the check parameters and scope. After you configure the parameters, you must trigger a new check for the settings to take effect.

Configure check parameters

You can configure check parameters to adjust the criteria for check items.

After you enable the multi-account governance maturity check, only the management account can configure check parameters. The settings automatically take effect for all member accounts.

  1. Log on to the Cloud Governance Center console.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Well-Architected Framework > Evaluation Settings.

  3. On the Check Item Settings tab, filter for check items that support custom parameter configuration.

  1. Log on to the Cloud Governance Center console.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Well-Architected Framework > Evaluation Settings.

Manage check tasks

You can manage check tasks by setting a scheduled check time. After you configure the settings, the system initiates check tasks at the specified time. A check task typically takes 5 to 10 minutes to complete. The automatic check task runs once a day. In addition to automatic check, you can also manually initiate check tasks.

  1. Log on to the Cloud Governance Center console.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Well-Architected Framework > Evaluation Settings.

  3. On the Check Task Management tab, turn on the Check Time Settings switch, set the Frequency, Time, and Apply To, then click Save.

    Note

    Only a management account can set the scope to All Members. After this is set, the scheduled time configured by member accounts becomes invalid. The check tasks for all member accounts are automatically triggered at the time set by the management account. However, member accounts can still manually trigger check tasks.

Subscribe to governance reports

After you subscribe to governance reports, you can regularly receive the latest governance check results for your cloud environment, which helps you review and handle risks in a timely manner.

  1. Log on to the Cloud Governance Center console.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Well-Architected Framework > Evaluation Settings.

  3. On the Subscribe to Governance Report tab, turn on the Subscribe to Governance Report switch, set the Frequency and Time, then click Save.

    If you have configured scheduled check tasks, you can also select Immediately Send Report after Scheduled Check. The report will be sent immediately after the check task is complete.
