describe-notifications-for-budget¶

Description¶

Lists the notifications that are associated with a budget.

Synopsis¶

  describe-notifications-for-budget
--account-id <value>
--budget-name <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--starting-token <value>]
[--page-size <value>]
[--max-items <value>]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--account-id (string)

The accountId that is associated with the budget whose notifications you want descriptions of.

--budget-name (string)

The name of the budget whose notifications you want descriptions of.

--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. 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 .

To retrieve the notifications for a budget

This example retrieves the notifications for a Cost and Usage budget.

Command:

aws budgets describe-notifications-for-budget --account-id 111122223333 --budget-name "Example Budget" --max-results 5

Output:

{
   "Notifications": [
       {
           "Threshold": 80.0,
           "ComparisonOperator": "GREATER_THAN",
           "NotificationType": "ACTUAL"
       }
   ]
}

Output¶

Notifications -> (list)

A list of notifications that are associated with a budget.

(structure)

A notification that’s associated with a budget. A budget can have up to ten notifications.

Each notification must have at least one subscriber. A notification can have one SNS subscriber and up to 10 email subscribers, for a total of 11 subscribers.

For example, if you have a budget for 200 dollars and you want to be notified when you go over 160 dollars, create a notification with the following parameters:

A notificationType of ACTUAL

A thresholdType of PERCENTAGE

A comparisonOperator of GREATER_THAN

A notification threshold of 80

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.

NextToken -> (string)

The pagination token in the service response that indicates the next set of results that you can retrieve.
