I'm trying to add a certificate to a domain name through Amazon ACM and it's not working. I mean, I was able to add the certificate and I opted to use DNS validation but it's still showing up as "Pending validation" and that was a few hours ago.
I added the DNS entries after I requested the certs so is there a way I can just tell AWS to recheck for the DNS entries?
AWS will periodically check the DNS entries. In the past I've done exactly as you have, and found checking back, after 5-10 minutes is enough.
If after re-checking the console, and you still aren't validating properly, check using an external tool if the records are public.
There are a number of reasons why DNS changes could take a while to make it to AWS, but a few hours is longer than I would expect. That implies the real result is a misconfiguration.
