Terraform - aws_security_group_rule doesn't support import

Question

I'm having a strange problem when trying to import an aws_security_group_rule into terraform.

I'm running the latest version of TF (0.11.11)

For example:

terraform import module.ec2.aws_security_group_rule.control_elb sg-securitygroupid_ingress_tcp_8080_8080_sg-sourcesgid

Returns resource aws_security_group_rule doesn't support import

However, looking at the documentation, this does seem possible?

Answer 1

Did you try to import in flat setup than modular setup? It seems that in modular setup there is a bug with Terraform. https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-aws/issues/559
