create-traffic-mirror-target¶

Description¶

Creates a target for your Traffic Mirror session.

A Traffic Mirror target is the destination for mirrored traffic. The Traffic Mirror source and the Traffic Mirror target (monitoring appliances) can be in the same VPC, or in different VPCs connected via VPC peering or a transit gateway.

A Traffic Mirror target can be a network interface, or a Network Load Balancer.

To use the target in a Traffic Mirror session, use CreateTrafficMirrorSession .

Currently, the resource types that support tagging on creation are: capacity-reservation | client-vpn-endpoint | dedicated-host | dhcp-options | export-image-task | export-instance-task | fleet | fpga-image | host-reservation | import-image-task | import-snapshot-task | instance | internet-gateway | ipv4pool-ec2 | ipv6pool-ec2 | key-pair | launch-template | placement-group | prefix-list | natgateway | network-acl | security-group | spot-fleet-request | spot-instances-request | snapshot | subnet | traffic-mirror-filter | traffic-mirror-session | traffic-mirror-target | transit-gateway | transit-gateway-attachment | transit-gateway-route-table | volume |vpc | vpc-endpoint (for interface and gateway endpoints) | vpc-endpoint-service (for AWS PrivateLink) | vpc-flow-log .

To tag a resource after it has been created, see CreateTags .

Tags -> (list)

The tags to apply to the resource.

(structure)

Describes a tag.

Key -> (string)

The key of the tag.

Constraints: Tag keys are case-sensitive and accept a maximum of 127 Unicode characters. May not begin with aws: .

Value -> (string)

The value of the tag.

Constraints: Tag values are case-sensitive and accept a maximum of 255 Unicode characters.

Shorthand Syntax:

    ]
  }
  ...
]

--dry-run | --no-dry-run (boolean)

Checks whether you have the required permissions for the action, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is DryRunOperation . Otherwise, it is UnauthorizedOperation .

--client-token (string)

Unique, case-sensitive identifier that you provide to ensure the idempotency of the request. For more information, see How to Ensure Idempotency .

--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 create a a Network Load Balancer Traffic Mirror target

The following create-traffic-mirror-target example creates a Network Load Balancer Traffic Mirror target.

aws ec2 create-traffic-mirror-target \
    --description "Example Network Load Balancer Target" \
    --network-load-balancer-arn arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:us-east-1:111122223333:loadbalancer/net/NLB/7cdec873EXAMPLE

Output:

{
    "TrafficMirrorTarget": {
        "Type": "network-load-balancer",
        "Tags": [],
        "Description": "Example Network Load Balancer Target",
        "OwnerId": "111122223333",
        "NetworkLoadBalancerArn": "arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:us-east-1:724145273726:loadbalancer/net/NLB/7cdec873EXAMPLE",

    },
    "ClientToken": "d5c090f5-8a0f-49c7-8281-72c796a21f72"
}

To create a network Traffic Mirror target

The following create-traffic-mirror-target example creates a network interface Traffic Mirror target.

aws ec2 create-traffic-mirror-target
–description “Network interface target” –network-interface-id eni-eni-01f6f631eEXAMPLE

Output:

{
    "ClientToken": "5289a345-0358-4e62-93d5-47ef3061d65e",
    "TrafficMirrorTarget": {
        "Description": "Network interface target",
        "NetworkInterfaceId": "eni-01f6f631eEXAMPLE",

        "Type": "network-interface",
        "Tags": []
    }
}
