add-tags-to-resource¶

Description¶

Adds or overwrites one or more tags for the specified resource. Tags are metadata that you can assign to your documents, managed instances, maintenance windows, Parameter Store parameters, and patch baselines. Tags enable you to categorize your resources in different ways, for example, by purpose, owner, or environment. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value, both of which you define. For example, you could define a set of tags for your account’s managed instances that helps you track each instance’s owner and stack level. For example: Key=Owner and Value=DbAdmin, SysAdmin, or Dev. Or Key=Stack and Value=Production, Pre-Production, or Test.

Each resource can have a maximum of 50 tags.

We recommend that you devise a set of tag keys that meets your needs for each resource type. Using a consistent set of tag keys makes it easier for you to manage your resources. You can search and filter the resources based on the tags you add. Tags don’t have any semantic meaning to and are interpreted strictly as a string of characters.

For more information about using tags with EC2 instances, see Tagging your Amazon EC2 resources in the Amazon EC2 User Guide .

Synopsis¶

  add-tags-to-resource
--resource-type <value>
--resource-id <value>
--tags <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]
[--cli-auto-prompt <value>]

Options¶

--resource-type (string)

Specifies the type of resource you are tagging.

Note

The ManagedInstance type for this API action is for on-premises managed instances. You must specify the name of the managed instance in the following format: mi-ID_number. For example, mi-1a2b3c4d5e6f.

Possible values:

Document

ManagedInstance

MaintenanceWindow

Parameter

PatchBaseline

OpsItem

--resource-id (string)

The resource ID you want to tag.

Use the ID of the resource. Here are some examples:

ManagedInstance: mi-012345abcde

MaintenanceWindow: mw-012345abcde

PatchBaseline: pb-012345abcde

For the Document and Parameter values, use the name of the resource.

Note

The ManagedInstance type for this API action is only for on-premises managed instances. You must specify the name of the managed instance in the following format: mi-ID_number. For example, mi-1a2b3c4d5e6f.

--tags (list)

One or more tags. The value parameter is required, but if you don’t want the tag to have a value, specify the parameter with no value, and we set the value to an empty string.

Warning

Do not enter personally identifiable information in this field.

(structure)

Metadata that you assign to your AWS resources. Tags enable you to categorize your resources in different ways, for example, by purpose, owner, or environment. In Systems Manager, you can apply tags to documents, managed instances, maintenance windows, Parameter Store parameters, and patch baselines.

Key -> (string)

The name of the tag.

Value -> (string)

The value of the tag.

Shorthand Syntax:

Key=string,Value=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Key": "string",
    "Value": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--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 add tags to a maintenance window

The following add-tags-to-resource example adds a tag to the specified maintenance window.

aws ssm add-tags-to-resource \
    --resource-type "MaintenanceWindow" \
    --resource-id "mw-03eb9db428EXAMPLE" \
    --tags "Key=Stack,Value=Production"

This command produces no output.

To add tags to a parameter

The following add-tags-to-resource example adds two tags to to the specified parameter.

aws ssm add-tags-to-resource \
    --resource-type "Parameter" \
    --resource-id "My-Parameter" \
    --tags '[{"Key":"Region","Value":"East"},{"Key":"Environment", "Value":"Production"}]'

This command produces no output.
