describe-job

Description

Describes a job.

Requires permission to access the DescribeJob action.

See also: AWS API Documentation

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Synopsis

  describe-job
--job-id <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--job-id (string)

The unique identifier you assigned to this job when it was created.

--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 get detailed status for a job

The following describe-job example gets detailed status for the job whose ID is example-job-01.

aws iot describe-job \
    --job-id "example-job-01"

Output:

{
    "job": {
        "jobArn": "arn:aws:iot:us-west-2:123456789012:job/example-job-01",
        "jobId": "example-job-01",
        "targetSelection": "SNAPSHOT",
        "status": "IN_PROGRESS",
        "targets": [

Output

documentSource -> (string)

An S3 link to the job document.

job -> (structure)

Information about the job.

jobArn -> (string)

An ARN identifying the job with format “arn:aws:iot:region:account:job/jobId”.

jobId -> (string)

The unique identifier you assigned to this job when it was created.

targetSelection -> (string)

Specifies whether the job will continue to run (CONTINUOUS), or will be complete after all those things specified as targets have completed the job (SNAPSHOT). If continuous, the job may also be run on a thing when a change is detected in a target. For example, a job will run on a device when the thing representing the device is added to a target group, even after the job was completed by all things originally in the group.

Note

We recommend that you use continuous jobs instead of snapshot jobs for dynamic thing group targets. By using continuous jobs, devices that join the group receive the job execution even after the job has been created.

status -> (string)

The status of the job, one of IN_PROGRESS , CANCELED , DELETION_IN_PROGRESS or COMPLETED .

forceCanceled -> (boolean)

Will be true if the job was canceled with the optional force parameter set to true .

reasonCode -> (string)

If the job was updated, provides the reason code for the update.

comment -> (string)

If the job was updated, describes the reason for the update.

targets -> (list)

A list of IoT things and thing groups to which the job should be sent.

(string)

description -> (string)

A short text description of the job.

presignedUrlConfig -> (structure)

Configuration for pre-signed S3 URLs.

roleArn -> (string)

The ARN of an IAM role that grants grants permission to download files from the S3 bucket where the job data/updates are stored. The role must also grant permission for IoT to download the files.

Warning

For information about addressing the confused deputy problem, see cross-service confused deputy prevention in the Amazon Web Services IoT Core developer guide .

expiresInSec -> (long)

How long (in seconds) pre-signed URLs are valid. Valid values are 60 - 3600, the default value is 3600 seconds. Pre-signed URLs are generated when Jobs receives an MQTT request for the job document.

jobExecutionsRolloutConfig -> (structure)

Allows you to create a staged rollout of a job.

maximumPerMinute -> (integer)

The maximum number of things that will be notified of a pending job, per minute. This parameter allows you to create a staged rollout.

exponentialRate -> (structure)

The rate of increase for a job rollout. This parameter allows you to define an exponential rate for a job rollout.

baseRatePerMinute -> (integer)

The minimum number of things that will be notified of a pending job, per minute at the start of job rollout. This parameter allows you to define the initial rate of rollout.

incrementFactor -> (double)

The exponential factor to increase the rate of rollout for a job.

Amazon Web Services IoT Core supports up to one digit after the decimal (for example, 1.5, but not 1.55).

timeoutConfig -> (structure)

Specifies the amount of time each device has to finish its execution of the job. A timer is started when the job execution status is set to IN_PROGRESS . If the job execution status is not set to another terminal state before the timer expires, it will be automatically set to TIMED_OUT .

inProgressTimeoutInMinutes -> (long)

Specifies the amount of time, in minutes, this device has to finish execution of this job. The timeout interval can be anywhere between 1 minute and 7 days (1 to 10080 minutes). The in progress timer can’t be updated and will apply to all job executions for the job. Whenever a job execution remains in the IN_PROGRESS status for longer than this interval, the job execution will fail and switch to the terminal TIMED_OUT status.

namespaceId -> (string)

The namespace used to indicate that a job is a customer-managed job.

When you specify a value for this parameter, Amazon Web Services IoT Core sends jobs notifications to MQTT topics that contain the value in the following format.

key -> (string)

value -> (string)

isConcurrent -> (boolean)

Indicates whether a job is concurrent. Will be true when a job is rolling out new job executions or canceling previously created executions, otherwise false.
