This topic describes how to manually re-evaluate resources. After you modify rules or resources, you can manually re-evaluate resources if you want to immediately view the latest compliance evaluation results. If you do not manually re-evaluate resources, you can view the compliance evaluation results only after resource configurations are changed or rules are triggered at the scheduled time.

Prerequisites

The rule that you want to use to re-evaluate resources is in the Active state in the Status column.

Use an ordinary account

If you use an ordinary account, you can manually re-evaluate resources only by using the rules within your account.

  1. Log on to the Cloud Config console.
  2. In the left-side navigation pane, click Rules.
  3. On the Rules page, find the rule that you want to use to re-evaluate resources. Then, click the rule name in the Rule Name column or click Details in the Actions column.
  4. On the Rule Details tab, click Re-evaluate in the upper-right corner.
  5. In the Are you sure that you want to audit the resources again? message, click OK.
    By default, Cloud Config does not use the current rule to evaluate ignored resources. If you want to evaluate ignored resources, select Reset the Ignore Evaluation parameter for resources and evaluate all resources again, and click OK.

Use a management account

If you use a management account, you can manually re-evaluate resources by using the rules within your account and those within member accounts in the relevant resource directory.

  1. Log on to the Cloud Config console.
  2. In the left-side navigation pane, click Rules.
  3. On the Rules page, click the required account group tab.
  4. On the account group tab, find the rule that you want to use to re-evaluate resources. Then, click the rule name in the Rule Name column or click Details in the Actions column.
  5. On the Rule Details tab, click Re-evaluate in the upper-right corner.
  6. In the Are you sure that you want to audit the resources again? message, click OK.
    By default, Cloud Config does not use the current rule to evaluate ignored resources. If you want to evaluate ignored resources, select Reset the Ignore Evaluation parameter for resources and evaluate all resources again, and click OK.
