    /// <summary>
    /// Disable a particular rule on an event bus.
    /// </summary
    /// <param name="ruleName">The name of the rule.</param>
    /// <returns>True if successful.</returns>
    public async Task<bool> DisableRuleByName(string ruleName)
    {
        var ruleResponse = await _amazonEventBridge.DisableRuleAsync(
            new DisableRuleRequest()
            {
                Name = ruleName
            });
        return ruleResponse.HttpStatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK;
    }

To disable a CloudWatch Events rule

This example disables the rule named DailyLambdaFunction. The rule is not deleted:

aws events disable-rule --name "DailyLambdaFunction"

Disable a rule by using its rule name.

    public static void changeRuleState(EventBridgeClient eventBrClient, String eventRuleName, Boolean isEnabled) {
        try {
            if (!isEnabled) {

                DisableRuleRequest ruleRequest = DisableRuleRequest.builder()
                        .name(eventRuleName)
                        .build();

                eventBrClient.disableRule(ruleRequest);
            } else {
                System.out.println("Enabling the rule: " + eventRuleName);
