describe-security-group-rules¶

Description¶

Describes one or more of your security group rules.

Synopsis¶

  describe-security-group-rules
[--filters <value>]
[--security-group-rule-ids <value>]
[--dry-run | --no-dry-run]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--starting-token <value>]
[--page-size <value>]
[--max-items <value>]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--filters (list)

One or more filters.

group-id - The ID of the security group.

security-group-rule-id - The ID of the security group rule.

tag :<key> - The key/value combination of a tag assigned to the resource. Use the tag key in the filter name and the tag value as the filter value. For example, to find all resources that have a tag with the key Owner and the value TeamA , specify tag:Owner for the filter name and TeamA for the filter value.

(structure)

A filter name and value pair that is used to return a more specific list of results from a describe operation. Filters can be used to match a set of resources by specific criteria, such as tags, attributes, or IDs.

If you specify multiple filters, the filters are joined with an AND , and the request returns only results that match all of the specified filters.

Name -> (string)

The name of the filter. Filter names are case-sensitive.

Values -> (list)

The filter values. Filter values are case-sensitive. If you specify multiple values for a filter, the values are joined with an OR , and the request returns all results that match any of the specified values.

(string)

Shorthand Syntax:

Name=string,Values=string,string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Name": "string",
    "Values": ["string", ...]
  }
  ...
]

--security-group-rule-ids (list)

The IDs of the security group rules.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--dry-run | --no-dry-run (boolean)

Checks whether you have the required permissions for the action, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is DryRunOperation . Otherwise, it is UnauthorizedOperation .

--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 .

Example 1: To describe the security group rules using the security group ID

The following describe-security-group-rules example describes the security group rules of a specified security group. Use the filter parameter to enter the group-id of the security group.

aws ec2 describe-security-group-rules \
    --filter Name="group-id",Values="sg-1234567890abcdef0"

Output:

{
    "SecurityGroupRules": [
        {
            "SecurityGroupRuleId": "sgr-abcdef01234567890",
            "GroupId": "sg-1234567890abcdef0",
            "GroupOwnerId": "111122223333",
            "IsEgress": false,
            "IpProtocol": "-1",
            "FromPort": -1,
            "ToPort": -1,
            "ReferencedGroupInfo": {
                "GroupId": "sg-1234567890abcdef0",
                "UserId": "111122223333"
            },
            "Tags": []
        },
        {
            "SecurityGroupRuleId": "sgr-bcdef01234567890a",
            "GroupId": "sg-1234567890abcdef0",
            "GroupOwnerId": "111122223333",
            "IsEgress": true,
            "IpProtocol": "-1",
            "FromPort": -1,
            "ToPort": -1,
            "CidrIpv6": "::/0",
            "Tags": []
        },
        {
            "SecurityGroupRuleId": "sgr-cdef01234567890ab",
            "GroupId": "sg-1234567890abcdef0",
            "GroupOwnerId": "111122223333",
            "IsEgress": true,
            "IpProtocol": "-1",
            "FromPort": -1,
            "ToPort": -1,
            "CidrIpv4": "0.0.0.0/0",
            "Tags": []
        }
    ]
}

Example 2: To describe a security group rule using the security group rule ID

The following describe-security-group-rules example describes a specified security group rule. Use the security-group-rule-ids parameter to specify the security group rule ID.

aws ec2 describe-security-group-rules \
    --security-group-rule-ids sgr-cdef01234567890ab

Output:

{
    "SecurityGroupRules": [
        {
            "SecurityGroupRuleId": "sgr-cdef01234567890ab",
            "GroupId": "sg-1234567890abcdef0",
            "GroupOwnerId": "111122223333",
            "IsEgress": true,
            "IpProtocol": "-1",
            "FromPort": -1,
            "ToPort": -1,
            "CidrIpv4": "0.0.0.0/0",
            "Tags": []
        }
    ]
}
