Viewing Details and Compliance Information for your AWS Config Rules

Focus mode

Viewing Details and Compliance Information for your AWS Config Rules - AWS Config

Important

For accurate reporting on the compliance status, you must record the AWS::Config::ResourceCompliance resource type. For more information, see Recording AWS Resources.

You can use the AWS Config console or the AWS SDKs to view your rules.

Viewing Rules (Console)

The Rules page shows your rules and their current compliance results in a table. The result for each rule is Evaluating... until AWS Config finishes evaluating your resources against the rule. You can update the results with the refresh button. When AWS Config finishes evaluations, you can see the rules and resource types that are compliant or noncompliant. For more information, see Viewing Compliance Information and Evaluation Results for your AWS Resources with AWS Config.

Note

AWS Config evaluates only the resource types that it is recording. For example, if you add the cloudtrail-enabled rule but don't record the CloudTrail trail resource type, AWS Config can't evaluate whether the trails in your account are compliant or noncompliant. For more information, see Recording AWS Resources with AWS Config.

To view your rules

Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the AWS Config console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/config/.
In the AWS Management Console menu, verify that the region selector is set to a region that supports AWS Config rules. For the list of supported regions, see AWS Config Regions and Endpoints in the Amazon Web Services General Reference.
In the left navigation, choose Rules.
The Rules page shows all the rule that are currently in your AWS account. It lists the name, associated remediation action, and compliance status of each rule.
- Choose Add rule to get started with creating a rule.
- Choose a rule to see its settings, or choose a rule and View details.
- See the compliance status of the rule when it evaluates your resources.
- Choose a rule and Edit rule to change the configuration settings of the rule and set a remediation action for a noncompliant rule.
