describe-patch-groups¶

Description¶

Lists all patch groups that have been registered with patch baselines.

Synopsis¶

  describe-patch-groups
[--filters <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--starting-token <value>]
[--page-size <value>]
[--max-items <value>]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--filters (list)

Each element in the array is a structure containing a key-value pair.

Supported keys for DescribePatchGroups include the following:

**NAME_PREFIX ** Sample values: AWS- | My- .

**OPERATING_SYSTEM ** Sample values: AMAZON_LINUX | SUSE | WINDOWS

(structure)

Defines a filter used in Patch Manager APIs. Supported filter keys depend on the API operation that includes the filter. Patch Manager API operations that use PatchOrchestratorFilter include the following:

DescribeAvailablePatches

DescribeInstancePatches

DescribePatchBaselines

DescribePatchGroups

Key -> (string)

The key for the filter.

Values -> (list)

The value for the filter.

(string)

Shorthand Syntax:

Key=string,Values=string,string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Key": "string",
    "Values": ["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.

--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 display patch group registrations

The following describe-patch-groups example lists the patch group registrations.

aws ssm describe-patch-groups

Output¶

Mappings -> (list)

Each entry in the array contains:

PatchGroup : string (between 1 and 256 characters. Regex: ^([\p{L}\p{Z}\p{N}_.:/=+\-@]*)$)

PatchBaselineIdentity : A PatchBaselineIdentity element.

(structure)

The mapping between a patch group and the patch baseline the patch group is registered with.

PatchGroup -> (string)

The name of the patch group registered with the patch baseline.

BaselineIdentity -> (structure)

The patch baseline the patch group is registered with.

BaselineId -> (string)

The ID of the patch baseline.

BaselineName -> (string)

The name of the patch baseline.

OperatingSystem -> (string)

Defines the operating system the patch baseline applies to. The default value is WINDOWS .

BaselineDescription -> (string)

The description of the patch baseline.

DefaultBaseline -> (boolean)

Whether this is the default baseline. Amazon Web Services Systems Manager supports creating multiple default patch baselines. For example, you can create a default patch baseline for each operating system.

NextToken -> (string)

The token to use when requesting the next set of items. If there are no additional items to return, the string is empty.
