# Excluding service quotas from Service Quotas Automatic Management
Excluding quotas from Automatic Management

You won't be notified of service quotas utilizations for AWS services added to the Automatic Management exclusion list. 

You can exclude a service quota or list of quotas from being monitored by Automatic Management using the `--exclusion-list`. You'll need the service code and quota code to exclude the quota from Automatic Management in the AWS CLI.

Use the following procedure to exclude quotas from Automatic Management monitoring for your AWS account using either the AWS Management Console or AWS CLI.

------
#### [ AWS Management Console ]

1. Open the Service Quotas console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/servicequotas/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/servicequotas/).

1. In the navigation pane, select **Automatic Management**.

1. Under **Selected quotas for exceptions**, add the AWS services you do not want monitored with Automatic Management. After making your selection, choose **Add exceptions**. 

------
#### [ AWS CLI ]

See the following AWS CLI examples for adding supported AWS services to the Automatic Management exclusion list. You'll need to include the AWS service code and Service Quotas code in your commands.
+ **Finding supported AWS services code**
  + Use [ListServices](https://docs.aws.amazon.com//servicequotas/2019-06-24/apireference/API_ListServices.html) to list AWS services supported by Service Quotas. The response includes the `ServiceCode` and `ServiceName` for each service. For example, the `ServiceCode` for Amazon DynamoDB is `dynamodb`.
+ **Finding Service Quotas codes**

You can specify the service with the request parameter `ServiceCode`. The response includes the `QuotaName`, `QuotaCode`, `Value`, and `QuotaAppliedAtLevel`.
