describe-jobs¶

Description¶

Describes a list of AWS Batch jobs.

Synopsis¶

  describe-jobs
--jobs <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--jobs (list)

A list of up to 100 job IDs.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "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.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

(string)

initProcessEnabled -> (boolean)

If true, run an init process inside the container that forwards signals and reaps processes. This parameter maps to the --init option to docker run . This parameter requires version 1.25 of the Docker Remote API or greater on your container instance. To check the Docker Remote API version on your container instance, log into your container instance and run the following command: sudo docker version | grep "Server API version"

sharedMemorySize -> (integer)

The value for the size (in MiB) of the /dev/shm volume. This parameter maps to the --shm-size option to docker run .

Note

This parameter isn’t applicable to jobs running on Fargate resources and shouldn’t be provided.

(string)

maxSwap -> (integer)

The total amount of swap memory (in MiB) a container can use. This parameter is translated to the --memory-swap option to docker run where the value is the sum of the container memory plus the maxSwap value. For more information, see ` --memory-swap details <https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/resource_constraints/#–memory-swap-details>`__ in the Docker documentation.

If a maxSwap value of 0 is specified, the container doesn’t use swap. Accepted values are 0 or any positive integer. If the maxSwap parameter is omitted, the container doesn’t use the swap configuration for the container instance it is running on. A maxSwap value must be set for the swappiness parameter to be used.

Note

This parameter isn’t applicable to jobs running on Fargate resources and shouldn’t be provided.

swappiness -> (integer)

This allows you to tune a container’s memory swappiness behavior. A swappiness value of 0 causes swapping not to happen unless absolutely necessary. A swappiness value of 100 causes pages to be swapped very aggressively. Accepted values are whole numbers between 0 and 100 . If the swappiness parameter isn’t specified, a default value of 60 is used. If a value isn’t specified for maxSwap then this parameter is ignored. If maxSwap is set to 0, the container doesn’t use swap. This parameter maps to the --memory-swappiness option to docker run .

Consider the following when you use a per-container swap configuration.

Swap space must be enabled and allocated on the container instance for the containers to use.

Note

The Amazon ECS optimized AMIs don’t have swap enabled by default. You must enable swap on the instance to use this feature. For more information, see Instance Store Swap Volumes in the Amazon EC2 User Guide for Linux Instances or How do I allocate memory to work as swap space in an Amazon EC2 instance by using a swap file?

The swap space parameters are only supported for job definitions using EC2 resources.

If the maxSwap and swappiness parameters are omitted from a job definition, each container will have a default swappiness value of 60 and the total swap usage will be limited to two times the memory reservation of the container.

Note

This parameter isn’t applicable to jobs running on Fargate resources and shouldn’t be provided.

logConfiguration -> (structure)

The log configuration specification for the container.

This parameter maps to LogConfig in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --log-driver option to docker run . By default, containers use the same logging driver that the Docker daemon uses. However the container might use a different logging driver than the Docker daemon by specifying a log driver with this parameter in the container definition. To use a different logging driver for a container, the log system must be configured properly on the container instance. Or, alternatively, it must be configured on a different log server for remote logging options. For more information on the options for different supported log drivers, see Configure logging drivers in the Docker documentation.

Note

AWS Batch currently supports a subset of the logging drivers available to the Docker daemon (shown in the LogConfiguration data type). Additional log drivers might be available in future releases of the Amazon ECS container agent.

This parameter requires version 1.18 of the Docker Remote API or greater on your container instance. To check the Docker Remote API version on your container instance, log into your container instance and run the following command: sudo docker version | grep "Server API version"

Note

The Amazon ECS container agent running on a container instance must register the logging drivers available on that instance with the ECS_AVAILABLE_LOGGING_DRIVERS environment variable before containers placed on that instance can use these log configuration options. For more information, see Amazon ECS Container Agent Configuration in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .

logDriver -> (string)

The log driver to use for the container. The valid values listed for this parameter are log drivers that the Amazon ECS container agent can communicate with by default.

The supported log drivers are awslogs , fluentd , gelf , json-file , journald , logentries , syslog , and splunk .

Note

Jobs running on Fargate resources are restricted to the awslogs and splunk log drivers.

awslogs

Specifies the Amazon CloudWatch Logs logging driver. For more information, see Using the awslogs Log Driver in the AWS Batch User Guide and Amazon CloudWatch Logs logging driver in the Docker documentation.

fluentd

Specifies the Fluentd logging driver. For more information, including usage and options, see Fluentd logging driver in the Docker documentation.

gelf

Specifies the Graylog Extended Format (GELF) logging driver. For more information, including usage and options, see Graylog Extended Format logging driver in the Docker documentation.

journald

Specifies the journald logging driver. For more information, including usage and options, see Journald logging driver in the Docker documentation.

Specifies the syslog logging driver. For more information, including usage and options, see Syslog logging driver in the Docker documentation.

Note

If you have a custom driver that’sn’t listed earlier that you want to work with the Amazon ECS container agent, you can fork the Amazon ECS container agent project that’s available on GitHub and customize it to work with that driver. We encourage you to submit pull requests for changes that you want to have included. However, Amazon Web Services doesn’t currently support running modified copies of this software.

(string)

maxSwap -> (integer)

The total amount of swap memory (in MiB) a container can use. This parameter is translated to the --memory-swap option to docker run where the value is the sum of the container memory plus the maxSwap value. For more information, see ` --memory-swap details <https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/resource_constraints/#–memory-swap-details>`__ in the Docker documentation.

If a maxSwap value of 0 is specified, the container doesn’t use swap. Accepted values are 0 or any positive integer. If the maxSwap parameter is omitted, the container doesn’t use the swap configuration for the container instance it is running on. A maxSwap value must be set for the swappiness parameter to be used.

Note

This parameter isn’t applicable to jobs running on Fargate resources and shouldn’t be provided.

swappiness -> (integer)

This allows you to tune a container’s memory swappiness behavior. A swappiness value of 0 causes swapping not to happen unless absolutely necessary.

If the swappiness parameter isn’t specified, a default value of 60 is used. If a value isn’t specified for maxSwap then this parameter is ignored. If maxSwap is set to 0, the container doesn’t use swap. This parameter maps to the --memory-swappiness option to docker run .

Consider the following when you use a per-container swap configuration.

Swap space must be enabled and allocated on the container instance for the containers to use.

Note

The Amazon ECS optimized AMIs don’t have swap enabled by default. You must enable swap on the instance to use this feature. For more information, see Instance Store Swap Volumes in the Amazon EC2 User Guide for Linux Instances or How do I allocate memory to work as swap space in an Amazon EC2 instance by using a swap file?

The swap space parameters are only supported for job definitions using EC2 resources.

If the maxSwap and swappiness parameters are omitted from a job definition, each container will have a default swappiness value of 60 and the total swap usage will be limited to two times the memory reservation of the container.

Note

This parameter isn’t applicable to jobs running on Fargate resources and shouldn’t be provided.

logConfiguration -> (structure)

The log configuration specification for the container.

This parameter maps to LogConfig in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the --log-driver option to docker run . By default, containers use the same logging driver that the Docker daemon uses. However the container might use a different logging driver than the Docker daemon by specifying a log driver with this parameter in the container definition. To use a different logging driver for a container, the log system must be configured properly on the container instance (or on a different log server for remote logging options). For more information on the options for different supported log drivers, see Configure logging drivers in the Docker documentation.

Note

AWS Batch currently supports a subset of the logging drivers available to the Docker daemon (shown in the LogConfiguration data type).

This parameter requires version 1.18 of the Docker Remote API or greater on your container instance. To check the Docker Remote API version on your container instance, log into your container instance and run the following command: sudo docker version | grep "Server API version"

Note

The Amazon ECS container agent running on a container instance must register the logging drivers available on that instance with the ECS_AVAILABLE_LOGGING_DRIVERS environment variable before containers placed on that instance can use these log configuration options. For more information, see Amazon ECS Container Agent Configuration in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide .
