Options¶

--window-id (string)

The ID of the maintenance window the task should be added to.

--targets (list)

The targets (either instances or maintenance window targets).

Note

One or more targets must be specified for maintenance window Run Command-type tasks. Depending on the task, targets are optional for other maintenance window task types (Automation, Lambda, and Step Functions). For more information about running tasks that don’t specify targets, see Registering maintenance window tasks without targets in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide .

Specify instances using the following format:

Key=InstanceIds,Values=<instance-id-1>,<instance-id-2>

Specify maintenance window targets using the following format:

Key=WindowTargetIds,Values=<window-target-id-1>,<window-target-id-2>

(structure)

An array of search criteria that targets instances using a key-value pair that you specify.

Note

One or more targets must be specified for maintenance window Run Command-type tasks. Depending on the task, targets are optional for other maintenance window task types (Automation, Lambda, and Step Functions). For more information about running tasks that don’t specify targets, see Registering maintenance window tasks without targets in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide .

Supported formats include the following.

``Key=InstanceIds,Values=*instance-id-1* ,*instance-id-2* ,*instance-id-3* ``

``Key=tag:my-tag-key ,Values=*my-tag-value-1* ,*my-tag-value-2* ``

``Key=tag-key,Values=*my-tag-key-1* ,*my-tag-key-2* ``

Run Command and Maintenance window targets only : ``Key=resource-groups:Name,Values=*resource-group-name* ``

Maintenance window targets only : ``Key=resource-groups:ResourceTypeFilters,Values=*resource-type-1* ,*resource-type-2* ``

Automation targets only : ``Key=ResourceGroup;Values=*resource-group-name* ``

For example:

Key=InstanceIds,Values=i-02573cafcfEXAMPLE,i-0471e04240EXAMPLE,i-07782c72faEXAMPLE

Key=tag:CostCenter,Values=CostCenter1,CostCenter2,CostCenter3

Key=tag-key,Values=Name,Instance-Type,CostCenter

Run Command and Maintenance window targets only : Key=resource-groups:Name,Values=ProductionResourceGroup This example demonstrates how to target all resources in the resource group ProductionResourceGroup in your maintenance window.

Maintenance window targets only : ``Key=resource-groups:ResourceTypeFilters,Values=*AWS::EC2::INSTANCE* ,*AWS::EC2::VPC* `` This example demonstrates how to target only Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances and VPCs in your maintenance window.

Automation targets only : Key=ResourceGroup,Values=MyResourceGroup

State Manager association targets only : Key=InstanceIds,Values=* This example demonstrates how to target all managed instances in the Amazon Web Services Region where the association was created.

For more information about how to send commands that target instances using Key,Value parameters, see Targeting multiple instances in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide .

--max-concurrency (string)

The maximum number of targets this task can be run for in parallel.

Note

For maintenance window tasks without a target specified, you can’t supply a value for this option. Instead, the system inserts a placeholder value of 1 . This value doesn’t affect the running of your task.

--max-errors (string)

The maximum number of errors allowed before this task stops being scheduled.

Note

For maintenance window tasks without a target specified, you can’t supply a value for this option. Instead, the system inserts a placeholder value of 1 . This value doesn’t affect the running of your task.

--logging-info (structure)

A structure containing information about an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket to write instance-level logs to.

Note

LoggingInfo has been deprecated. To specify an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket to contain logs, instead use the OutputS3BucketName and OutputS3KeyPrefix options in the TaskInvocationParameters structure. For information about how Amazon Web Services Systems Manager handles these options for the supported maintenance window task types, see MaintenanceWindowTaskInvocationParameters .

--name (string)

An optional name for the task.

--description (string)

--cutoff-behavior (string)

Indicates whether tasks should continue to run after the cutoff time specified in the maintenance windows is reached.

CONTINUE_TASK : When the cutoff time is reached, any tasks that are running continue. The default value.

CANCEL_TASK :

For Automation, Lambda, Step Functions tasks: When the cutoff time is reached, any task invocations that are already running continue, but no new task invocations are started.

For Run Command tasks: When the cutoff time is reached, the system sends a CancelCommand operation that attempts to cancel the command associated with the task. However, there is no guarantee that the command will be terminated and the underlying process stopped.

The status for tasks that are not completed is TIMED_OUT .

Possible values:

CONTINUE_TASK

CANCEL_TASK

--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.
