--obfuscation-setting (structure)

New settings that determine how slot values are formatted in Amazon CloudWatch logs.

obfuscationSettingType -> (string)

Value that determines whether Amazon Lex obscures slot values in conversation logs. The default is to obscure the values.

Shorthand Syntax:

obfuscationSettingType=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "obfuscationSettingType": "None"|"DefaultObfuscation"
}

--bot-id (string)

The unique identifier of the bot that contains the slot.

--bot-version (string)

The version of the bot that contains the slot. Must always be DRAFT .

--locale-id (string)

The identifier of the language and locale that contains the slot. The string must match one of the supported locales. For more information, see Supported languages .

--intent-id (string)

The identifier of the intent that contains the slot.

--multiple-values-setting (structure)

Determines whether the slot accepts multiple values in one response. Multiple value slots are only available in the en-US locale. If you set this value to true in any other locale, Amazon Lex throws a ValidationException .

If the multipleValuesSetting is not set, the default value is false .

allowMultipleValues -> (boolean)

Indicates whether a slot can return multiple values. When true , the slot may return more than one value in a response. When false , the slot returns only a single value.

Multi-value slots are only available in the en-US locale. If you set this value to true in any other locale, Amazon Lex throws a ValidationException .

If the allowMutlipleValues is not set, the default value is false .

Shorthand Syntax:

allowMultipleValues=boolean

JSON Syntax:

{
  "allowMultipleValues": true|false
}

--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.
