describe-affected-entities¶

Description¶

Returns a list of entities that have been affected by the specified events, based on the specified filter criteria. Entities can refer to individual customer resources, groups of customer resources, or any other construct, depending on the AWS service. Events that have impact beyond that of the affected entities, or where the extent of impact is unknown, include at least one entity indicating this.

At least one event ARN is required. Results are sorted by the lastUpdatedTime of the entity, starting with the most recent.

Note

This API operation uses pagination. Specify the nextToken parameter in the next request to return more results.
This operation supports resource-level permissions. You can use this operation to allow or deny access to specific AWS Health events. For more information, see Resource- and action-based conditions in the AWS Health User Guide .

Options¶

--filter (structure)

Values to narrow the results returned. At least one event ARN is required.

eventArns -> (list)

A list of event ARNs (unique identifiers). For example: "arn:aws:health:us-east-1::event/EC2/EC2_INSTANCE_RETIREMENT_SCHEDULED/EC2_INSTANCE_RETIREMENT_SCHEDULED_ABC123-CDE456", "arn:aws:health:us-west-1::event/EBS/AWS_EBS_LOST_VOLUME/AWS_EBS_LOST_VOLUME_CHI789_JKL101"

(string)

entityArns -> (list)

A list of entity ARNs (unique identifiers).

(string)

entityValues -> (list)

A list of IDs for affected entities.

(string)

lastUpdatedTimes -> (list)

A list of the most recent dates and times that the entity was updated.

(structure)

A range of dates and times that is used by the EventFilter and EntityFilter objects. If from is set and to is set: match items where the timestamp (startTime , endTime , or lastUpdatedTime ) is between from and to inclusive. If from is set and to is not set: match items where the timestamp value is equal to or after from . If from is not set and to is set: match items where the timestamp value is equal to or before to .

from -> (timestamp)

The starting date and time of a time range.

to -> (timestamp)

The ending date and time of a time range.

tags -> (list)

A map of entity tags attached to the affected entity.

Note

Currently, the tags property isn’t supported.

(map)

key -> (string)

value -> (string)

statusCodes -> (list)

A list of entity status codes (IMPAIRED , UNIMPAIRED , or UNKNOWN ).

(string)

Shorthand Syntax:

eventArns=string,string,entityArns=string,string,entityValues=string,string,lastUpdatedTimes=[{from=timestamp,to=timestamp},{from=timestamp,to=timestamp}],tags=[{KeyName1=string,KeyName2=string},{KeyName1=string,KeyName2=string}],statusCodes=string,string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "eventArns": ["string", ...],
  "entityArns": ["string", ...],
  "entityValues": ["string", ...],
  "lastUpdatedTimes": [
    {
      "from": timestamp,
      "to": timestamp
    }
    ...
  ],
  "tags": [
    {"string": "string"
      ...}
    ...
  ],
  "statusCodes": ["IMPAIRED"|"UNIMPAIRED"|"UNKNOWN", ...]
}

--locale (string)

The locale (language) to return information in. English (en) is the default and the only supported value at this time.

--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 .

--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 .

--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.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples¶

To list the entities that are affected by a specified AWS Health event

The following describe-affected-entities example lists the entities that are affected by the specified AWS Health event. This event is a billing notification for the AWS account.

aws health describe-affected-entities \
    --filter "eventArns=arn:aws:health:global::event/BILLING/AWS_BILLING_NOTIFICATION/AWS_BILLING_NOTIFICATION_6ce1d874-e995-40e2-99cd-EXAMPLE11145" \
    --region us-east-1

Output:

{
    "entities": [
        {
            "entityArn": "arn:aws:health:global:123456789012:entity/EXAMPLEimSMoULmWHpb",
            "eventArn": "arn:aws:health:global::event/BILLING/AWS_BILLING_NOTIFICATION/AWS_BILLING_NOTIFICATION_6ce1d874-e995-40e2-99cd-EXAMPLE11145",
            "entityValue": "AWS_ACCOUNT",
            "awsAccountId": "123456789012",
            "lastUpdatedTime": 1588356454.08
        }
    ]
}

For more information, see Event log in the AWS Health User Guide.

Output¶

The unique identifier for the entity. Format: arn:aws:health:*entity-region* :*aws-account* :entity/*entity-id* `` . Example: ``arn:aws:health:us-east-1:111222333444:entity/AVh5GGT7ul1arKr1sE1K

eventArn -> (string)

The unique identifier for the event. Format: arn:aws:health:*event-region* ::event/*SERVICE* /*EVENT_TYPE_CODE* /*EVENT_TYPE_PLUS_ID* `` . Example: ``Example: arn:aws:health:us-east-1::event/EC2/EC2_INSTANCE_RETIREMENT_SCHEDULED/EC2_INSTANCE_RETIREMENT_SCHEDULED_ABC123-DEF456

entityValue -> (string)

The ID of the affected entity.
