AWS Config recorder stuck at "Taking inventory..." status

Question

Today, when I went to AWS Console -> AWS Config -> Settings, and turned off the recorder then turned it back on.

Then the settings page got stuck at "Taking inventory..." status for many hours.

I can't edit the recorder now. Does any one know how to solve this problem?

AWS Config rules can't work if the recorder is not turned on.

I've tried running aws configservice stop-configuration-recorder --configuration-recorder-name default command to change the status of the recorder, but this doesn't work.

Answer 1

Running aws configservice delete-configuration-recorder --configuration-recorder-name default command can successfully delete the recorder.

Then the only thing I have to do is recreate the recorder and AWS Config rule.
