describe-event-details¶

Description¶

Returns detailed information about one or more specified events. Information includes standard event data (Amazon Web Services Region, service, and so on, as returned by DescribeEvents ), a detailed event description, and possible additional metadata that depends upon the nature of the event. Affected entities are not included. To retrieve the entities, use the DescribeAffectedEntities operation.

If a specified event can’t be retrieved, an error message is returned for that event.

Note

This operation supports resource-level permissions. You can use this operation to allow or deny access to specific Health events. For more information, see Resource- and action-based conditions in the Health User Guide .

Synopsis¶

  describe-event-details
--event-arns <value>
[--locale <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--event-arns (list)

A list of event ARNs (unique identifiers). For example: "arn:aws:health:us-east-1::event/EC2/EC2_INSTANCE_RETIREMENT_SCHEDULED/EC2_INSTANCE_RETIREMENT_SCHEDULED_ABC123-CDE456", "arn:aws:health:us-west-1::event/EBS/AWS_EBS_LOST_VOLUME/AWS_EBS_LOST_VOLUME_CHI789_JKL101"

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--locale (string)

The locale (language) to return information in. English (en) is the default and the only supported value at this time.

--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 list information about an AWS Health event

The following describe-event-details example lists information about the specified AWS Health event.

aws health describe-event-details \
    --event-arns "arn:aws:health:us-east-1::event/EC2/AWS_EC2_OPERATIONAL_ISSUE/AWS_EC2_OPERATIONAL_ISSUE_VKTXI_EXAMPLE111" \
    --region us-east-1

Output:

{
    "successfulSet": [
        {
            "event": {
                "arn": "arn:aws:health:us-east-1::event/EC2/AWS_EC2_OPERATIONAL_ISSUE/AWS_EC2_OPERATIONAL_ISSUE_VKTXI_EXAMPLE111",
                "service": "EC2",
                "eventTypeCode": "AWS_EC2_OPERATIONAL_ISSUE",
                "eventTypeCategory": "issue",
                "region": "us-east-1",
                "startTime": 1587462325.096,
                "endTime": 1587464204.774,
                "lastUpdatedTime": 1587464204.865,
                "statusCode": "closed"
            },
            "eventDescription": {
                "latestDescription": "[RESOLVED] Increased API Error Rates and Latencies\n\n[02:45 AM PDT] We are investigating increased API error rates and latencies in the US-EAST-1 Region.\n\n[03:16 AM PDT] Between 2:10 AM and 2:59 AM PDT we experienced increased API error rates and latencies in the US-EAST-1 Region. The issue has been resolved and the service is operating normally."
            }
        }
    ],
    "failedSet": []
}

Output¶

successfulSet -> (list)

Information about the events that could be retrieved.

(structure)

Detailed information about an event. A combination of an Event object, an EventDescription object, and additional metadata about the event. Returned by the DescribeEventDetails operation.

event -> (structure)

Summary information about the event.

arn -> (string)

The unique identifier for the event. The event ARN has the ``arn:aws:health:event-region ::event/SERVICE /EVENT_TYPE_CODE /EVENT_TYPE_PLUS_ID `` format.

For example, an event ARN might look like the following:

arn:aws:health:us-east-1::event/EC2/EC2_INSTANCE_RETIREMENT_SCHEDULED/EC2_INSTANCE_RETIREMENT_SCHEDULED_ABC123-DEF456

service -> (string)

The Amazon Web Services service that is affected by the event. For example, EC2 , RDS .

eventTypeCode -> (string)

The unique identifier for the event type. The format is AWS_*SERVICE* _*DESCRIPTION* `` ; for example, ``AWS_EC2_SYSTEM_MAINTENANCE_EVENT .

eventTypeCategory -> (string)

A list of event type category codes. Possible values are issue , accountNotification , or scheduledChange . Currently, the investigation value isn’t supported at this time.

region -> (string)

The Amazon Web Services Region name of the event.

availabilityZone -> (string)

The Amazon Web Services Availability Zone of the event. For example, us-east-1a.

startTime -> (timestamp)

The date and time that the event began.

endTime -> (timestamp)

The date and time that the event ended.

lastUpdatedTime -> (timestamp)

The most recent date and time that the event was updated.

statusCode -> (string)

The most recent status of the event. Possible values are open , closed , and upcoming .

eventScopeCode -> (string)

This parameter specifies if the Health event is a public Amazon Web Services service event or an account-specific event.

If the eventScopeCode value is PUBLIC , then the affectedAccounts value is always empty.

If the eventScopeCode value is ACCOUNT_SPECIFIC , then the affectedAccounts value lists the affected Amazon Web Services accounts in your organization. For example, if an event affects a service such as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud and you have Amazon Web Services accounts that use that service, those account IDs appear in the response.

If the eventScopeCode value is NONE , then the eventArn that you specified in the request is invalid or doesn’t exist.

eventDescription -> (structure)

The most recent description of the event.

latestDescription -> (string)

The most recent description of the event.

eventMetadata -> (map)

Additional metadata about the event.

key -> (string)

value -> (string)

failedSet -> (list)

Error messages for any events that could not be retrieved.

(structure)

Error information returned when a DescribeEventDetails operation can’t find a specified event.

eventArn -> (string)

The unique identifier for the event. The event ARN has the ``arn:aws:health:event-region ::event/SERVICE /EVENT_TYPE_CODE /EVENT_TYPE_PLUS_ID `` format.

For example, an event ARN might look like the following:
