# Deprecating rules
|
|
|
|
Rules that have been version locked (added to [version.lock.json](../etc/version.lock.json)), which also means they
|
|
have been added to the detection engine in Kibana, must be properly [deprecated](#steps-to-properly-deprecate-a-rule).
|
|
|
|
If a rule was never version locked (not yet pushed to Kibana or still in non-`production` `maturity`), the rule can
|
|
simply be removed with no additional changes, or updated the `maturity = "development"`, which will leave it out of the
|
|
release package to Kibana.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Steps to properly deprecate a rule
|
|
|
|
1. Update the `maturity` to `deprecated`
|
|
2. Move the rule file to [rules/_deprecated](../rules/_deprecated)
|
|
3. Add `deprecation_date` and update `updated_date` to match
|
|
|
|
Next time the versions are locked, the rule will be added to the [deprecated_rules.json](../etc/deprecated_rules.json)
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Using the deprecate-rule command
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can run `python -m detection_rules dev deprecate-rule <rule-file>`, which will perform all the steps
