**To activate or deactivate enhanced infrastructure metrics at the organization or account level**

1. Open the Compute Optimizer console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/compute-optimizer/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/compute-optimizer/).

1. Choose **General** in the navigation pane. Then, choose the **Enhanced infrastructure metrics** tab.

1. If you’re an individual AWS account holder, skip to step 4. 

   If you’re the account manager or delegated administrator of your organization, you can manage all member accounts or an individual member account for enhanced infrastructure metrics. 
   + To opt in all member accounts, choose **All opted-in accounts** from the Preference level dropdown. 
   + To opt in an individual member account, choose **Choose account** from the Preference level dropdown. In the prompt that appears, select the account you want to opt in for rightsizing preferences. Then, choose **Set account level**.

1. Choose **Edit**.

1. In the prompt that appears, choose **Add a preference**.

1. Select a **Resource type**, **Region**, and the **Activate** checkbox. Then, choose **Save**.

1. (Optional) If you want to deactivate enhanced infrastructure metrics, unselect the **Activate** checkbox. Then, choose **Save**.

Compute Optimizer considers updated preferences the next time that it generates recommendations. Until then, a **pending** status is affixed to your update preference (for example, **Active-pending** or **Inactive-pending**). To confirm that your resource recommendations are taking enhanced infrastructure metrics into consideration, see [Confirming the status of enhanced infrastructure metrics](enhanced-infrastructure-metrics.md#confirm-eim-status).
