describe-configurations¶
Description¶
Retrieves attributes for a list of configuration item IDs.
Note
All of the supplied IDs must be for the same asset type from one of the following:
server
application
process
connection
Output fields are specific to the asset type specified. For example, the output for a server configuration item includes a list of attributes about the server, such as host name, operating system, number of network cards, etc.
For a complete list of outputs for each asset type, see Using the DescribeConfigurations Action in the Amazon Web Services Application Discovery Service User Guide .
See also: AWS API Documentation
See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.
Synopsis¶
describe-configurations
--configuration-ids <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]
Options¶
--configuration-ids (list)
One or more configuration IDs.
(string)
Syntax:
"string" "string" ...
--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¶
Describe selected asset configurations
This example command describes the configurations of two specified servers. The action detects the type of asset from the configuration ID. Only one type of asset is allowed per command.
Command:
aws discovery describe-configurations --configuration-ids "d-server-099385097ef9fbcfb" "d-server-0c4f2dd1fee22c6c1"
