[ aws . synthetics ]
This operation returns a list of the canaries in your account, along with full details about each canary.
This operation does not have resource-level authorization, so if a user is able to use DescribeCanaries
, the user can see all of the canaries in the account. A deny policy can only be used to restrict access to all canaries. It cannot be used on specific resources.

--next-token
(string)
A token that indicates that there is more data available. You can use this token in a subsequent operation to retrieve the next set of results.
--max-results
(integer)
Specify this parameter to limit how many canaries are returned each time you use the
DescribeCanaries
operation. If you omit this parameter, the default of 100 is used.
--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.
Canaries -> (list)
Returns an array. Each item in the array contains the full information about one canary.
(structure)
This structure contains all information about one canary in your account.
Id -> (string)
The unique ID of this canary.
Name -> (string)
The name of the canary.
Code -> (structure)
This structure contains information about the canary’s Lambda handler and where its code is stored by CloudWatch Synthetics.
SourceLocationArn -> (string)
The ARN of the Lambda layer where Synthetics stores the canary script code.
Handler -> (string)
The entry point to use for the source code when running the canary.
ExecutionRoleArn -> (string)
The ARN of the IAM role used to run the canary. This role must include
lambda.amazonaws.com
as a principal in the trust policy.Schedule -> (structure)
A structure that contains information about how often the canary is to run, and when these runs are to stop.
Expression -> (string)
A rate expression that defines how often the canary is to run. The syntax is
rate(*number unit* )
. unit can beminute
,minutes
, orhour
.For example,
rate(1 minute)
runs the canary once a minute,rate(10 minutes)
runs it once every 10 minutes, andrate(1 hour)
runs it once every hour.Specifying
rate(0 minute)
orrate(0 hour)
is a special value that causes the canary to run only once when it is started.DurationInSeconds -> (long)
How long, in seconds, for the canary to continue making regular runs after it was created. The runs are performed according to the schedule in the
Expression
value.RunConfig -> (structure)
A structure that contains information for a canary run.
TimeoutInSeconds -> (integer)
How long the canary is allowed to run before it must stop.
MemoryInMB -> (integer)
The maximum amount of memory available to the canary while it is running, in MB. The value you must be a multiple of 64.
SuccessRetentionPeriodInDays -> (integer)
The number of days to retain data about successful runs of this canary.
FailureRetentionPeriodInDays -> (integer)
The number of days to retain data about failed runs of this canary.
Status -> (structure)
A structure that contains information about the canary’s status.
State -> (string)
The current state of the canary.
StateReason -> (string)
If the canary has insufficient permissions to run, this field provides more details.
StateReasonCode -> (string)
If the canary cannot run or has failed, this field displays the reason.
Timeline -> (structure)
A structure that contains information about when the canary was created, modified, and most recently run.
Created -> (timestamp)
The date and time the canary was created.
LastModified -> (timestamp)
The date and time the canary was most recently modified.
LastStarted -> (timestamp)
The date and time that the canary’s most recent run started.
LastStopped -> (timestamp)
The date and time that the canary’s most recent run ended.
ArtifactS3Location -> (string)
The location in Amazon S3 where Synthetics stores artifacts from the runs of this canary. Artifacts include the log file, screenshots, and HAR files.
EngineArn -> (string)
The ARN of the Lambda function that is used as your canary’s engine. For more information about Lambda ARN format, see Resources and Conditions for Lambda Actions .
RuntimeVersion -> (string)
Specifies the runtime version to use for the canary. Currently, the only valid value is
syn-1.0
. For more information about runtime versions, see Canary Runtime Versions .VpcConfig -> (structure)
If this canary is to test an endpoint in a VPC, this structure contains information about the subnets and security groups of the VPC endpoint. For more information, see Running a Canary in a VPC .
VpcId -> (string)
The IDs of the VPC where this canary is to run.
SubnetIds -> (list)
The IDs of the subnets where this canary is to run.
(string)
SecurityGroupIds -> (list)
The IDs of the security groups for this canary.
(string)
Tags -> (map)
The list of key-value pairs that are associated with the canary.
key -> (string)
value -> (string)
NextToken -> (string)
A token that indicates that there is more data available. You can use this token in a subsequent
DescribeCanaries
operation to retrieve the next set of results.
