Cloud Config:Disable a rule

Last Updated:Jul 17, 2026

If you temporarily do not need a rule, you can disable it.

Prerequisites

Make sure that the Status of the rule is Active.

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.

    • To disable a single rule

      On the Rules page, find the rule and click Disable Rule in the Actions column.

    • To disable multiple rules

      On the Rules page, select the rules that you want to disable and then click Disable.

  5. Check the rule status.

    The Status of the rule changes to Inactive. After a rule is disabled, it stops running evaluations. The most recent compliance evaluation result is retained.
