describe-event-details¶

Description¶

Returns detailed information about one or more specified events. Information includes standard event data (AWS Region, service, and so on, as returned by DescribeEvents ), a detailed event description, and possible additional metadata that depends upon the nature of the event. Affected entities are not included. To retrieve the entities, use the DescribeAffectedEntities operation.

If a specified event can’t be retrieved, an error message is returned for that event.

Note

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 .

Synopsis¶

  describe-event-details
--event-arns <value>
[--locale <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--event-arns (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)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--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.

--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 information about an AWS Health event

The following describe-event-details example lists information about the specified AWS Health event.

aws health describe-event-details \
    --event-arns "arn:aws:health:us-east-1::event/EC2/AWS_EC2_OPERATIONAL_ISSUE/AWS_EC2_OPERATIONAL_ISSUE_VKTXI_EXAMPLE111" \
    --region us-east-1

Output:

{
    "successfulSet": [
        {
            "event": {
                "arn": "arn:aws:health:us-east-1::event/EC2/AWS_EC2_OPERATIONAL_ISSUE/AWS_EC2_OPERATIONAL_ISSUE_VKTXI_EXAMPLE111",
                "service": "EC2",
                "eventTypeCode": "AWS_EC2_OPERATIONAL_ISSUE",
                "eventTypeCategory": "issue",
                "region": "us-east-1",
                "startTime": 1587462325.096,
                "endTime": 1587464204.774,
                "lastUpdatedTime": 1587464204.865,
                "statusCode": "closed"
            },
            "eventDescription": {
                "latestDescription": "[RESOLVED] Increased API Error Rates and Latencies\n\n[02:45 AM PDT] We are investigating increased API error rates and latencies in the US-EAST-1 Region.\n\n[03:16 AM PDT] Between 2:10 AM and 2:59 AM PDT we experienced increased API error rates and latencies in the US-EAST-1 Region. The issue has been resolved and the service is operating normally."
            }
        }
    ],
    "failedSet": []
}

Output¶

successfulSet -> (list)

Information about the events that could be retrieved.

(structure)

Detailed information about an event. A combination of an Event object, an EventDescription object, and additional metadata about the event. Returned by the DescribeEventDetails operation.

event -> (structure)

Summary information about the event.

arn -> (string)

The unique identifier for the event. The event ARN has the ``arn:aws:health:event-region ::event/SERVICE /EVENT_TYPE_CODE /EVENT_TYPE_PLUS_ID `` format.

For example, an event ARN might look like the following:

arn:aws:health:us-east-1::event/EC2/EC2_INSTANCE_RETIREMENT_SCHEDULED/EC2_INSTANCE_RETIREMENT_SCHEDULED_ABC123-DEF456

service -> (string)

The AWS service that is affected by the event. For example, EC2 , RDS .

eventTypeCode -> (string)

The unique identifier for the event type. The format is AWS_*SERVICE* _*DESCRIPTION* `` ; for example, ``AWS_EC2_SYSTEM_MAINTENANCE_EVENT .

eventTypeCategory -> (string)

The category of the event. Possible values are issue , scheduledChange , and accountNotification .

region -> (string)

The AWS Region name of the event.

availabilityZone -> (string)

The AWS Availability Zone of the event. For example, us-east-1a.

startTime -> (timestamp)

The date and time that the event began.

endTime -> (timestamp)

The date and time that the event ended.

lastUpdatedTime -> (timestamp)

The most recent date and time that the event was updated.

statusCode -> (string)

The most recent status of the event. Possible values are open , closed , and upcoming .

eventScopeCode -> (string)

This parameter specifies if the AWS Health event is a public AWS service event or an account-specific event.

If the eventScopeCode value is PUBLIC , then the affectedAccounts value is always empty.

If the eventScopeCode value is ACCOUNT_SPECIFIC , then the affectedAccounts value lists the affected AWS accounts in your organization. For example, if an event affects a service such as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud and you have AWS accounts that use that service, those account IDs appear in the response.

If the eventScopeCode value is NONE , then the eventArn that you specified in the request is invalid or doesn’t exist.

eventDescription -> (structure)

The most recent description of the event.

latestDescription -> (string)

The most recent description of the event.

eventMetadata -> (map)

Additional metadata about the event.

key -> (string)

value -> (string)

failedSet -> (list)

Error messages for any events that could not be retrieved.

(structure)

Error information returned when a DescribeEventDetails operation can’t find a specified event.

eventArn -> (string)

The unique identifier for the event. The event ARN has the ``arn:aws:health:event-region ::event/SERVICE /EVENT_TYPE_CODE /EVENT_TYPE_PLUS_ID `` format.

For example, an event ARN might look like the following:

arn:aws:health:us-east-1::event/EC2/EC2_INSTANCE_RETIREMENT_SCHEDULED/EC2_INSTANCE_RETIREMENT_SCHEDULED_ABC123-DEF456
