# Disable scorecard rules

Disable an individual rule through `scorecard.ruleOverrides.byRule`. This
keeps the rest of its built-in or custom category active.

This guide assumes the rule is in the active set. The built-in rules are,
by default; a custom rule must be present under `scorecard.rules`.

## Add the override

Use the rule's full `<category>.<rule>` name and set `enabled = false`:

```nix title="cluster.nix"
scorecard.ruleOverrides.byRule."reliability.hasProbes".enabled = false;
```

Kix excludes the rule before evaluating it, so it produces no findings. Other
reliability rules continue to run.

## Check the result

Run the cluster checks:

<Command {...check} />

Confirm that the disabled rule no longer appears in the findings. If it still
appears, check that the override includes the category and matches the rule
name exactly.

To restore the rule, remove the override. Prefer removing it over setting
`enabled = true`, so the cluster inherits future changes to the surrounding
configuration without an unnecessary exception.
