create-subscriber¶

Description¶

Creates a subscriber. You must create the associated budget and notification before you create the subscriber.

Synopsis¶

  create-subscriber
--account-id <value>
--budget-name <value>
--notification <value>
--subscriber <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--account-id (string)

The accountId that is associated with the budget that you want to create a subscriber for.

--budget-name (string)

The name of the budget that you want to subscribe to. Budget names must be unique within an account.

--notification (structure)

The notification that you want to create a subscriber for.

NotificationType -> (string)

Specifies whether the notification is for how much you have spent (ACTUAL ) or for how much that you’re forecasted to spend (FORECASTED ).

ComparisonOperator -> (string)

The comparison that’s used for this notification.

Threshold -> (double)

The threshold that’s associated with a notification. Thresholds are always a percentage, and many customers find value being alerted between 50% - 200% of the budgeted amount. The maximum limit for your threshold is 1,000,000% above the budgeted amount.

ThresholdType -> (string)

The type of threshold for a notification. For ABSOLUTE_VALUE thresholds, Amazon Web Services notifies you when you go over or are forecasted to go over your total cost threshold. For PERCENTAGE thresholds, Amazon Web Services notifies you when you go over or are forecasted to go over a certain percentage of your forecasted spend. For example, if you have a budget for 200 dollars and you have a PERCENTAGE threshold of 80%, Amazon Web Services notifies you when you go over 160 dollars.

NotificationState -> (string)

Specifies whether this notification is in alarm. If a budget notification is in the ALARM state, you passed the set threshold for the budget.

Shorthand Syntax:

NotificationType=string,ComparisonOperator=string,Threshold=double,ThresholdType=string,NotificationState=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "NotificationType": "ACTUAL"|"FORECASTED",
  "ComparisonOperator": "GREATER_THAN"|"LESS_THAN"|"EQUAL_TO",
  "Threshold": double,
  "ThresholdType": "PERCENTAGE"|"ABSOLUTE_VALUE",
  "NotificationState": "OK"|"ALARM"
}

--subscriber (structure)

The subscriber that you want to associate with a budget notification.

SubscriptionType -> (string)

The type of notification that Amazon Web Services sends to a subscriber.

Address -> (string)

The address that Amazon Web Services sends budget notifications to, either an SNS topic or an email.

When you create a subscriber, the value of Address can’t contain line breaks.

Shorthand Syntax:

SubscriptionType=string,Address=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "SubscriptionType": "SNS"|"EMAIL",
  "Address": "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. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples¶

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .
