describe-maintenance-window-targets¶

Description¶

Lists the targets registered with the maintenance window.

Synopsis¶

  describe-maintenance-window-targets
--window-id <value>
[--filters <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--starting-token <value>]
[--page-size <value>]
[--max-items <value>]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--window-id (string)

The ID of the maintenance window whose targets should be retrieved.

--filters (list)

Optional filters that can be used to narrow down the scope of the returned window targets. The supported filter keys are Type , WindowTargetId , and OwnerInformation .

(structure)

Filter used in the request. Supported filter keys depend on the API operation that includes the filter. API operations that use MaintenanceWindowFilter> include the following:

DescribeMaintenanceWindowExecutions

DescribeMaintenanceWindowExecutionTaskInvocations

DescribeMaintenanceWindowExecutionTasks

DescribeMaintenanceWindows

DescribeMaintenanceWindowTargets

DescribeMaintenanceWindowTasks

Key -> (string)

The name of the filter.

Values -> (list)

The filter values.

(string)

Shorthand Syntax:

Key=string,Values=string,string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Key": "string",
    "Values": ["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.

--starting-token (string)

A token to specify where to start paginating. This is the NextToken from a previously truncated response.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--page-size (integer)

The size of each page to get in the AWS service call. This does not affect the number of items returned in the command’s output. Setting a smaller page size results in more calls to the AWS service, retrieving fewer items in each call. This can help prevent the AWS service calls from timing out.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--max-items (integer)

The total number of items to return in the command’s output. If the total number of items available is more than the value specified, a NextToken is provided in the command’s output. To resume pagination, provide the NextToken value in the starting-token argument of a subsequent command. Do not use the NextToken response element directly outside of the AWS CLI.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--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¶

Example 1: To list all targets for a Maintenance Window

The following describe-maintenance-window-targets example lists all of the targets for a maintenance window.

aws ssm describe-maintenance-window-targets \
    --window-id "mw-06cf17cbefEXAMPLE"

Output:

{
    "Targets": [
        {
            "ResourceType": "INSTANCE",
            "OwnerInformation": "Single instance",
            "WindowId": "mw-06cf17cbefEXAMPLE",
            "Targets": [
                {
                    "Values": [
                        "i-0000293ffdEXAMPLE"
                    ],
                    "Key": "InstanceIds"
                }
            ],
            "WindowTargetId": "350d44e6-28cc-44e2-951f-4b2c9EXAMPLE"
        },
        {
            "ResourceType": "INSTANCE",
            "OwnerInformation": "Two instances in a list",
            "WindowId": "mw-06cf17cbefEXAMPLE",
            "Targets": [
                {
                    "Values": [
                        "i-0000293ffdEXAMPLE",
                        "i-0cb2b964d3EXAMPLE"
                    ],
                    "Key": "InstanceIds"
                }
            ],
            "WindowTargetId": "e078a987-2866-47be-bedd-d9cf4EXAMPLE"
        }
    ]
}

Example 2: To list all targets for a maintenance window matching a specific owner information value

This describe-maintenance-window-targets example lists all of the targets for a maintenance window with a specific value.

aws ssm describe-maintenance-window-targets \
    --window-id "mw-0ecb1226ddEXAMPLE" \
    --filters "Key=OwnerInformation,Values=CostCenter1"

Output:

{
    "Targets": [
        {
            "WindowId": "mw-0ecb1226ddEXAMPLE",
            "WindowTargetId": "da89dcc3-7f9c-481d-ba2b-edcb7d0057f9",
            "ResourceType": "INSTANCE",
            "Targets": [
                {
                    "Key": "tag:Environment",
                    "Values": [
                        "Prod"
                    ]
                }
            ],
            "OwnerInformation": "CostCenter1",
            "Name": "ProdTarget1"
        }
    ]
}

The target registered with the maintenance window.

WindowId -> (string)

The ID of the maintenance window to register the target with.

WindowTargetId -> (string)

The ID of the target.

ResourceType -> (string)

The type of target that is being registered with the maintenance window.

Targets -> (list)

The targets, either managed nodes or tags.

Key=<tag name>,Values=<tag value> .

(structure)

An array of search criteria that targets managed nodes 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
