# Use `EnableRule` with an AWS SDK or CLI
<a name="eventbridge_example_eventbridge_EnableRule_section"></a>

The following code examples show how to use `EnableRule`.

Action examples are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. You can see this action in context in the following code example:

Enable a rule by its rule name.  

```
    /// <summary>
    /// Enable a particular rule on an event bus.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="ruleName">The name of the rule.</param>
    /// <returns>True if successful.</returns>
    public async Task<bool> EnableRuleByName(string ruleName)
    {
        var ruleResponse = await _amazonEventBridge.EnableRuleAsync(
            new EnableRuleRequest()
            {
                Name = ruleName
            });
        return ruleResponse.HttpStatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK;
    }

#### [ CLI ]

**AWS CLI**  
**To enable a CloudWatch Events rule**  
This example enables the rule named DailyLambdaFunction, which had been previously disabled:  

```
aws events enable-rule --name "DailyLambdaFunction"
```

Enable a rule by using its rule name.  

```
    public static void changeRuleState(EventBridgeClient eventBrClient, String eventRuleName, Boolean isEnabled) {
