Deleting a suppression rule for Macie findings - Amazon Macie

You can delete a suppression rule at any time. If you delete a suppression rule, Amazon Macie stops suppressing new and subsequent occurrences of findings that match the rule's criteria and aren't suppressed by other rules. Note, however, that Macie might continue to suppress findings that it's currently processing and match the rule's criteria.

After you delete a suppression rule, new and subsequent occurrences of findings that match the rule's criteria have a status of current (not archived). This means that they appear by default on the Amazon Macie console. In addition, Macie publishes them to Amazon EventBridge as events. Depending on the publication settings for your account, Macie also publishes the findings to AWS Security Hub.

To delete a suppression rule for findings

You can delete a suppression rule by using the Amazon Macie console or the Amazon Macie API.

Console

Follow these steps to delete a suppression rule by using the Amazon Macie console.

To delete a suppression rule

  1. Open the Amazon Macie console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/macie/.

  2. In the navigation pane, choose Findings.

  3. In the Saved rules list, choose the edit icon ( The edit icon, which is a blue pencil. ) next to the suppression rule that you want to delete.

  4. Under Suppression rule, choose Delete.

API

To delete a suppression rule programmatically, use the DeleteFindingsFilter operation of the Amazon Macie API. For the id parameter, specify the unique identifier for the suppression rule to delete. You can get this identifier by using the ListFindingsFilter operation to retrieve a list of suppression and filter rules for your account. If you're using the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), run the list-findings-filters command to retrieve this list.

To delete a suppression rule by using the AWS CLI, run the delete-findings-filter command. For example:

C:\> aws macie2 delete-findings-filter --id 8a3c5608-aa2f-4940-b347-d1451example

Where 8a3c5608-aa2f-4940-b347-d1451example is the unique identifier for the suppression rule to delete.

If the command runs successfully, Macie returns an empty HTTP 200 response. Otherwise, Macie returns an HTTP 4xx or 500 response that indicates why the operation failed.
