I completely understand your frustration with the lack of a search functionality in AWS Config. As you mentioned, having the ability to quickly search and find specific configuration rules is a very common and essential feature in most management and monitoring tools.
Many AWS customers have expressed similar feedback to AWS, requesting the addition of a search feature for Config rules. It's a commonly requested feature, and it's understandable why it would be a significant inconvenience, especially for environments with a large number of rules.
In the meantime, here are a few suggestions that might help improve your workflow:
-
Use AWS CLI or SDK: If you're comfortable with the AWS CLI or SDKs, you can leverage them to programmatically list and search your Config rules. The
describe-config-rules
command in the AWS CLI or the equivalent API call in the SDKs allows you to filter and search your rules more efficiently. -
Leverage tagging: Consider tagging your Config rules with relevant metadata, such as the rule's purpose, team ownership, or other identifying information. You can then use the filtering options in the AWS Config console to search by tag, which is a bit more efficient than the manual page-by-page approach.
-
Explore third-party tools: There are third-party tools and solutions, such as CloudHealth by VMware or CloudCheckr, that provide more advanced search and management capabilities for AWS Config rules and other AWS resources. These tools might be worth investigating if the native AWS Config experience is not sufficient for your needs.
-
Provide feedback to AWS: I'd strongly encourage you to submit feedback directly to AWS about the need for a search feature in AWS Config. The more customers request this functionality, the higher the priority it will likely receive from the AWS product team. You can provide feedback through the AWS Support Center, the AWS Forums, or by reaching out to your AWS account team.
While the current limitations in AWS Config can be frustrating, I'm hopeful that AWS will prioritize this feature enhancement based on customer feedback. In the meantime, hopefully, the workarounds and suggestions provided can help improve your workflow until a native search functionality is implemented.

Hey JonQ, thanks for that detailed response. Unfortunately I only have the basic support plan so I can't open up any tickets directly with AWS Support. Posting on here in hopes of having other administrators with the same want upvote, and raise the priority level of this feature.
