describe-stack-resource

Description

Returns a description of the specified resource in the specified stack.

For deleted stacks, DescribeStackResource returns resource information for up to 90 days after the stack has been deleted.

See also: AWS API Documentation

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Synopsis

  describe-stack-resource
--stack-name <value>
--logical-resource-id <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]
[--cli-auto-prompt <value>]

Options

--stack-name (string)

The name or the unique stack ID that is associated with the stack, which are not always interchangeable:

• Running stacks: You can specify either the stack’s name or its unique stack ID.

• Deleted stacks: You must specify the unique stack ID.

Default: There is no default value.

--logical-resource-id (string)

The logical name of the resource as specified in the template.

Default: There is no default value.

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean) Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples

To get information about a stack resource

The following describe-stack-resource example displays details for the resource named MyFunction in the specified stack.

aws cloudformation describe-stack-resource \
    --stack-name MyStack \
    --logical-resource-id MyFunction

Output:

{
    "StackResourceDetail": {
        "StackName": "MyStack",
        "StackId": "arn:aws:cloudformation:us-east-2:123456789012:stack/MyStack/d0a825a0-e4cd-xmpl-b9fb-061c69e99204",
        "LogicalResourceId": "MyFunction",
        "PhysicalResourceId": "my-function-SEZV4XMPL4S5",
        "ResourceType": "AWS::Lambda::Function",
        "LastUpdatedTimestamp": "2019-10-02T05:34:27.989Z",
        "ResourceStatus": "UPDATE_COMPLETE",
        "Metadata": "{}",
        "DriftInformation": {
            "StackResourceDriftStatus": "IN_SYNC"
        }
    }
}

Output

StackResourceDetail -> (structure)

A StackResourceDetail structure containing the description of the specified resource in the specified stack.

StackName -> (string)

The name associated with the stack.

StackId -> (string)

Unique identifier of the stack.

LogicalResourceId -> (string)

The logical name of the resource specified in the template.

PhysicalResourceId -> (string)

The name or unique identifier that corresponds to a physical instance ID of a resource supported by AWS CloudFormation.

ResourceType -> (string)

Type of resource. ((For more information, go to AWS Resource Types Reference in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide.)

LastUpdatedTimestamp -> (timestamp)

Time the status was updated.

ResourceStatus -> (string)

Current status of the resource.

ResourceStatusReason -> (string)

Success/failure message associated with the resource.

Description -> (string)

User defined description associated with the resource.

Metadata -> (string)

The content of the Metadata attribute declared for the resource. For more information, see Metadata Attribute in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide.

DriftInformation -> (structure)

Information about whether the resource’s actual configuration differs, or has drifted , from its expected configuration, as defined in the stack template and any values specified as template parameters. For more information, see Detecting Unregulated Configuration Changes to Stacks and Resources .

StackResourceDriftStatus -> (string)

Status of the resource’s actual configuration compared to its expected configuration

• DELETED : The resource differs from its expected configuration in that it has been deleted.

• MODIFIED : The resource differs from its expected configuration.

• NOT_CHECKED : AWS CloudFormation has not checked if the resource differs from its expected configuration. Any resources that do not currently support drift detection have a status of NOT_CHECKED . For more information, see Resources that Support Drift Detection .

• IN_SYNC : The resources’s actual configuration matches its expected configuration.

LastCheckTimestamp -> (timestamp)

When AWS CloudFormation last checked if the resource had drifted from its expected configuration.
