Deleting Evaluation Results from AWS Config Rules - AWS Config

Deleting Evaluation Results from AWS Config Rules

After AWS Config evaluates your rule, you can see the evaluation results on the Rules page or the Rules details page for the rule. If the evaluation results are incorrect or if you want to evaluate again, you can delete the current evaluation results for the rule. For example, if your rule was incorrectly evaluating your resources or you recently deleted resources from your account, you can delete the evaluation results and then run a new evaluation.

Deleting Evaluation Results (Console)

  1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the AWS Config console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/config/home.

  2. In the AWS Management Console menu, verify that the Region selector is set to an AWS 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.

  3. In the navigation pane, choose Rules. The Rules page shows the name, associated remediation action, and compliance status of each rule.

  4. Choose a rule from the table.

  5. From the Actions dropdown list, choose Delete results.
