describe-asset-property¶

Description¶

Retrieves information about an asset property.

Note

When you call this operation for an attribute property, this response includes the default attribute value that you define in the asset model. If you update the default value in the model, this operation’s response includes the new default value.

This operation doesn’t return the value of the asset property. To get the value of an asset property, use GetAssetPropertyValue .

Synopsis¶

  describe-asset-property
--asset-id <value>
--property-id <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--asset-id (string)

The ID of the asset.

--property-id (string)

The ID of the asset property.

--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.

IoT SiteWise computes the 1w interval the end of Sunday at midnight each week (UTC), the 1d interval at the end of each day at midnight (UTC), the 1h interval at the end of each hour, and so on.

When IoT SiteWise aggregates data points for metric computations, the start of each interval is exclusive and the end of each interval is inclusive. IoT SiteWise places the computed data point at the end of the interval.

offset -> (string)

The offset for the tumbling window. The offset parameter accepts the following:

The offset time. For example, if you specify 18h for offset and 1d for interval , IoT SiteWise aggregates data in one of the following ways:

If you create the metric before or at 6:00 PM (UTC), you get the first aggregation result at 6 PM (UTC) on the day when you create the metric.

If you create the metric after 6:00 PM (UTC), you get the first aggregation result at 6 PM (UTC) the next day.
