describe-rules¶

Description¶

Describes the specified rules or the rules for the specified listener. You must specify either a listener or one or more rules.

Synopsis¶

  describe-rules
[--listener-arn <value>]
[--rule-arns <value>]
[--page-size <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--starting-token <value>]
[--max-items <value>]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]
[--cli-auto-prompt <value>]

Options¶

--listener-arn (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the listener.

--rule-arns (list)

The Amazon Resource Names (ARN) of the rules.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--page-size (integer)

The size of each page to get in the AWS service call. This does not affect the number of items returned in the command’s output. Setting a smaller page size results in more calls to the AWS service, retrieving fewer items in each call. This can help prevent the AWS service calls from timing out.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--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.

--starting-token (string)

A token to specify where to start paginating. This is the NextToken from a previously truncated response.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--max-items (integer)

The total number of items to return in the command’s output. If the total number of items available is more than the value specified, a NextToken is provided in the command’s output. To resume pagination, provide the NextToken value in the starting-token argument of a subsequent command. Do not use the NextToken response element directly outside of the AWS CLI.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--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¶

Example 1: To describe a rule

The following describe-rules example displays details for the specified rule.

aws elbv2 describe-rules \
    --rule-arns arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:us-west-2:123456789012:listener-rule/app/my-load-balancer/50dc6c495c0c9188/f2f7dc8efc522ab2/9683b2d02a6cabee

Example 2: To describe the rules for a listener

The following describe-rules example displays details for the rules for the specified listener. The output includes the default rule and any other rules that you’ve added.

aws elbv2 describe-rules \
    --listener-arn arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:us-west-2:123456789012:listener/app/my-load-balancer/50dc6c495c0c9188/f2f7dc8efc522ab2

Output¶

Rules -> (list)

Information about the rules.

(structure)

Information about a rule.

RuleArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the rule.

Priority -> (string)

The priority.

Conditions -> (list)

The conditions. Each rule can include zero or one of the following conditions: http-request-method , host-header , path-pattern , and source-ip , and zero or more of the following conditions: http-header and query-string .

(structure)

Information about a condition for a rule.

Field -> (string)

The field in the HTTP request. The following are the possible values:

http-header

http-request-method

host-header

path-pattern

query-string

source-ip

Values -> (list)

The condition value. You can use Values if the rule contains only host-header and path-pattern conditions. Otherwise, you can use HostHeaderConfig for host-header conditions and PathPatternConfig for path-pattern conditions.

If Field is host-header , you can specify a single host name (for example, my.example.com). A host name is case insensitive, can be up to 128 characters in length, and can contain any of the following characters.

A-Z, a-z, 0-9

.

(matches 0 or more characters)

? (matches exactly 1 character)

If Field is path-pattern , you can specify a single path pattern (for example, /img/*). A path pattern is case-sensitive, can be up to 128 characters in length, and can contain any of the following characters.

A-Z, a-z, 0-9

_ - . $ / ~ ” ‘ @ : +

& (using &)

(matches 0 or more characters)

? (matches exactly 1 character)

(string)

HostHeaderConfig -> (structure)

Information for a host header condition. Specify only when Field is host-header .

Values -> (list)

One or more host names. The maximum size of each name is 128 characters. The comparison is case insensitive. The following wildcard characters are supported: * (matches 0 or more characters) and ? (matches exactly 1 character).

If you specify multiple strings, the condition is satisfied if one of the strings matches the host name.

(string)

PathPatternConfig -> (structure)

Information for a path pattern condition. Specify only when Field is path-pattern .

Values -> (list)

One or more path patterns to compare against the request URL. The maximum size of each string is 128 characters. The comparison is case sensitive. The following wildcard characters are supported: * (matches 0 or more characters) and ? (matches exactly 1 character).

If you specify multiple strings, the condition is satisfied if one of them matches the request URL. The path pattern is compared only to the path of the URL, not to its query string. To compare against the query string, use QueryStringConditionConfig .

(string)

HttpHeaderConfig -> (structure)

Information for an HTTP header condition. Specify only when Field is http-header .

HttpHeaderName -> (string)

The name of the HTTP header field. The maximum size is 40 characters. The header name is case insensitive. The allowed characters are specified by RFC 7230. Wildcards are not supported.

You can’t use an HTTP header condition to specify the host header. Use HostHeaderConditionConfig to specify a host header condition.

Values -> (list)

One or more strings to compare against the value of the HTTP header. The maximum size of each string is 128 characters. The comparison strings are case insensitive. The following wildcard characters are supported: * (matches 0 or more characters) and ? (matches exactly 1 character).

If the same header appears multiple times in the request, we search them in order until a match is found.

If you specify multiple strings, the condition is satisfied if one of the strings matches the value of the HTTP header. To require that all of the strings are a match, create one condition per string.

(string)

QueryStringConfig -> (structure)

Information for a query string condition. Specify only when Field is query-string .

Values -> (list)

One or more key/value pairs or values to find in the query string. The maximum size of each string is 128 characters. The comparison is case insensitive. The following wildcard characters are supported: * (matches 0 or more characters) and ? (matches exactly 1 character). To search for a literal ‘*’ or ‘?’ character in a query string, you must escape these characters in Values using a ‘’ character.

If you specify multiple key/value pairs or values, the condition is satisfied if one of them is found in the query string.

(structure)

Information about a key/value pair.

Key -> (string)

The key. You can omit the key.

Value -> (string)

The value.

HttpRequestMethodConfig -> (structure)

Information for an HTTP method condition. Specify only when Field is http-request-method .

Values -> (list)

The name of the request method. The maximum size is 40 characters. The allowed characters are A-Z, hyphen (-), and underscore (_). The comparison is case sensitive. Wildcards are not supported; therefore, the method name must be an exact match.

If you specify multiple strings, the condition is satisfied if one of the strings matches the HTTP request method. We recommend that you route GET and HEAD requests in the same way, because the response to a HEAD request may be cached.

(string)

SourceIpConfig -> (structure)

Information for a source IP condition. Specify only when Field is source-ip .

Values -> (list)

One or more source IP addresses, in CIDR format. You can use both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Wildcards are not supported.

If you specify multiple addresses, the condition is satisfied if the source IP address of the request matches one of the CIDR blocks. This condition is not satisfied by the addresses in the X-Forwarded-For header. To search for addresses in the X-Forwarded-For header, use HttpHeaderConditionConfig .

(string)

Actions -> (list)
