Options

--description (string)

An optional description for the tracker resource.

--kms-key-id (string)

A key identifier for an AWS KMS customer managed key . Enter a key ID, key ARN, alias name, or alias ARN.

--position-filtering (string)

Specifies the position filtering for the tracker resource.

Valid values:

• TimeBased - Location updates are evaluated against linked geofence collections, but not every location update is stored. If your update frequency is more often than 30 seconds, only one update per 30 seconds is stored for each unique device ID.

• DistanceBased - If the device has moved less than 30 m (98.4 ft), location updates are ignored. Location updates within this area are neither evaluated against linked geofence collections, nor stored. This helps control costs by reducing the number of geofence evaluations and historical device positions to paginate through. Distance-based filtering can also reduce the effects of GPS noise when displaying device trajectories on a map.

• AccuracyBased - If the device has moved less than the measured accuracy, location updates are ignored. For example, if two consecutive updates from a device have a horizontal accuracy of 5 m and 10 m, the second update is ignored if the device has moved less than 15 m. Ignored location updates are neither evaluated against linked geofence collections, nor stored. This can reduce the effects of GPS noise when displaying device trajectories on a map, and can help control your costs by reducing the number of geofence evaluations.

This field is optional. If not specified, the default value is TimeBased .

Possible values:

• TimeBased

• DistanceBased

• AccuracyBased

--pricing-plan (string)

No longer used. If included, the only allowed value is RequestBasedUsage .

Possible values:

• RequestBasedUsage

• MobileAssetTracking

• MobileAssetManagement

--pricing-plan-data-source (string)

This parameter is no longer used.

--tags (map)

Applies one or more tags to the tracker resource. A tag is a key-value pair helps manage, identify, search, and filter your resources by labelling them.

Format: "key" : "value"

Restrictions:

• Maximum 50 tags per resource

• Each resource tag must be unique with a maximum of one value.

• Maximum key length: 128 Unicode characters in UTF-8

• Maximum value length: 256 Unicode characters in UTF-8

• Can use alphanumeric characters (A–Z, a–z, 0–9), and the following characters: + - = . _ : / @.

• Cannot use “aws:” as a prefix for a key.

key -> (string)

value -> (string)

Shorthand Syntax:

KeyName1=string,KeyName2=string

JSON Syntax:

{"string": "string"
  ...}

--tracker-name (string)

The name for the tracker resource.

Requirements:

• Contain only alphanumeric characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9) , hyphens (-), periods (.), and underscores (_).

• Must be a unique tracker resource name.

• No spaces allowed. For example, ExampleTracker .

--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.

Output

CreateTime -> (timestamp)

The timestamp for when the tracker resource was created in ISO 8601 format: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sssZ .

TrackerArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the tracker resource. Used when you need to specify a resource across all AWS.

• Format example: arn:aws:geo:region:account-id:tracker/ExampleTracker

TrackerName -> (string)

The name of the tracker resource.
