Resource Management:Enable automatic tag remediation

Procedure

1. Log on to the Resource Management console.

2. Create a tag policy for which Automatic Remediation is not selected. Then, attach the tag policy to the logon account to enable the system to only detect resources whose tags are non-compliant within the account.

   In the tag policy, the tag key CostCenter and the tag value Beijing are specified. For more information, see Perform automatic tag detection.

3. View the resources whose tags are non-compliant.

   The system detects the resources to which the CostCenter:Beijing tag is not added or to which tags other than CostCenter:Beijing are added based on the tag policy. You can view or download the detection results for non-compliant tags. For more information, see View and download non-compliance detection results.

4. Modify the configuration of the tag policy to enable automatic tag remediation for the tag policy.

   1. On the Policy Library page, find the tag policy and click Modify in the Actions column.

   2. On the page that appears, select Automatic Remediation.

      Note

      If an asterisk (*) is specified for the tag value, automatic tag remediation cannot be enabled.

   3. Click Specify Scope for Automatic Remediation.

   4. In the Specify Scope for Automatic Remediation dialog box, configure settings for automatic tag remediation and click OK.

      • Without Automatic Remediation (default): If you select this option, the system does not remediate non-compliant tags for the resources.

      • Specific Resource Scope: If you select this option, you need to configure Specify Tag Scope, Specify Region Scope, Specify Resource Groups, Specify Resource Types for Detection, or Specify Regular Expression of Resource Names to specify the scope of resources for which you want to perform automatic tag remediation.

      • All: If you select this option, the system remediates non-compliant tags for all resources in the detection results. In this example, All is selected.

      Note

      In this example, all resources with the CostCenter:Beijing tag are detected and automatically remediated. If you want to detect and remediate multiple tag values of CostCenter, such as CostCenter:Beijing and CostCenter:Shanghai, you can specify multiple tag values in the Specify Allowed Tag Values field. However, when you enable automatic tag remediation, you must specify different scopes for different tag values.

   5. Click Submit.

   

   

5. Wait until automatic tag remediation is complete and check whether the remediation results meet your business requirements.

   1. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Tag Policy > Effective Policies.

   2. Click the tag key of the desired effective policy. On the details page of the effective policy, click the Remediation Records tab.

      You can view information such as the details of a resource on which a remediation task is run, the remediation result, and the time consumed for the remediation. In addition, you can specify filter conditions to view the remediation tasks that are successfully run or fail to run.

   3. Log on to the console of the Alibaba Cloud service to which one of the resources belongs and check whether tags added to the resource meet your business requirements.
