validate-configuration-settings¶

Description¶

Takes a set of configuration settings and either a configuration template or environment, and determines whether those values are valid.

This action returns a list of messages indicating any errors or warnings associated with the selection of option values.

Synopsis¶

  validate-configuration-settings
--application-name <value>
[--template-name <value>]
[--environment-name <value>]
--option-settings <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--application-name (string)

The name of the application that the configuration template or environment belongs to.

--template-name (string)

The name of the configuration template to validate the settings against.

Condition: You cannot specify both this and an environment name.

--environment-name (string)

The name of the environment to validate the settings against.

Condition: You cannot specify both this and a configuration template name.

--option-settings (list)

A list of the options and desired values to evaluate.

(structure)

A specification identifying an individual configuration option along with its current value. For a list of possible namespaces and option values, see Option Values in the AWS Elastic Beanstalk Developer Guide .

ResourceName -> (string)

A unique resource name for the option setting. Use it for a time–based scaling configuration option.

Namespace -> (string)

A unique namespace that identifies the option’s associated AWS resource.

OptionName -> (string)

The name of the configuration option.

Value -> (string)

The current value for the configuration option.

Shorthand Syntax:

ResourceName=string,Namespace=string,OptionName=string,Value=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "ResourceName": "string",
    "Namespace": "string",
    "OptionName": "string",
    "Value": "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 .

To validate configuration settings

The following command validates a CloudWatch custom metrics config document:

aws elasticbeanstalk validate-configuration-settings --application-name my-app --environment-name my-env --option-settings file://options.json

options.json is a JSON document that includes one or more configuration settings to validate:

[
    {
        "Namespace": "aws:elasticbeanstalk:healthreporting:system",
        "OptionName": "ConfigDocument",
        "Value": "{\"CloudWatchMetrics\": {\"Environment\": {\"ApplicationLatencyP99.9\": null,\"InstancesSevere\": 60,\"ApplicationLatencyP90\": 60,\"ApplicationLatencyP99\": null,\"ApplicationLatencyP95\": 60,\"InstancesUnknown\": 60,\"ApplicationLatencyP85\": 60,\"InstancesInfo\": null,\"ApplicationRequests2xx\": null,\"InstancesDegraded\": null,\"InstancesWarning\": 60,\"ApplicationLatencyP50\": 60,\"ApplicationRequestsTotal\": null,\"InstancesNoData\": null,\"InstancesPending\": 60,\"ApplicationLatencyP10\": null,\"ApplicationRequests5xx\": null,\"ApplicationLatencyP75\": null,\"InstancesOk\": 60,\"ApplicationRequests3xx\": null,\"ApplicationRequests4xx\": null},\"Instance\": {\"ApplicationLatencyP99.9\": null,\"ApplicationLatencyP90\": 60,\"ApplicationLatencyP99\": null,\"ApplicationLatencyP95\": null,\"ApplicationLatencyP85\": null,\"CPUUser\": 60,\"ApplicationRequests2xx\": null,\"CPUIdle\": null,\"ApplicationLatencyP50\": null,\"ApplicationRequestsTotal\": 60,\"RootFilesystemUtil\": null,\"LoadAverage1min\": null,\"CPUIrq\": null,\"CPUNice\": 60,\"CPUIowait\": 60,\"ApplicationLatencyP10\": null,\"LoadAverage5min\": null,\"ApplicationRequests5xx\": null,\"ApplicationLatencyP75\": 60,\"CPUSystem\": 60,\"ApplicationRequests3xx\": 60,\"ApplicationRequests4xx\": null,\"InstanceHealth\": null,\"CPUSoftirq\": 60}},\"Version\": 1}"
    }
]

If the options that you specify are valid for the specified environment, Elastic Beanstalk returns an empty Messages array:

{
    "Messages": []
}

If validation fails, the response will include information about the error:

{
    "Messages": [
        {
            "OptionName": "ConfigDocumet",
            "Message": "Invalid option specification (Namespace: 'aws:elasticbeanstalk:healthreporting:system', OptionName: 'ConfigDocumet'): Unknown configuration setting.",
            "Namespace": "aws:elasticbeanstalk:healthreporting:system",
            "Severity": "error"
        }
    ]
}

For more information about namespaces and supported options, see Option Values in the AWS Elastic Beanstalk Developer Guide.
