Error creating SSM document: DocumentAlreadyExists: Document with same name SSM-SessionManagerRunShell already exists

[benzaam]

Hi,

Creating the ssm document fails if one has already run the session manager quick setup, which creates the default document SSM-SessionManagerRunShell.

Here is the output i get from terraform apply:
Error: Error creating SSM document: DocumentAlreadyExists: Document with same name SSM-SessionManagerRunShell already exists

I couldn't figure out how to modify the SSM-SessionManagerRunShell document from Terraform since it's an AWS owned document.
Do i need to import it first?

Thx,
Benjamin

You have to manually delete the default document:

aws ssm delete-document --name SSM-SessionManagerRunShell
