list-compliance-items¶

Description¶

For a specified resource ID, this API operation returns a list of compliance statuses for different resource types. Currently, you can only specify one resource ID per call. List results depend on the criteria specified in the filter.

Synopsis¶

  list-compliance-items
[--filters <value>]
[--resource-ids <value>]
[--resource-types <value>]
[--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 compliance filters. Use a filter to return a more specific list of results.

(structure)

One or more filters. Use a filter to return a more specific list of results.

Key -> (string)

The name of the filter.

Values -> (list)

The value for which to search.

(string)

Type -> (string)

The type of comparison that should be performed for the value: Equal, NotEqual, BeginWith, LessThan, or GreaterThan.

Shorthand Syntax:

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

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Key": "string",
    "Values": ["string", ...],
    "Type": "EQUAL"|"NOT_EQUAL"|"BEGIN_WITH"|"LESS_THAN"|"GREATER_THAN"
  }
  ...
]

--resource-ids (list)

The ID for the resources from which to get compliance information. Currently, you can only specify one resource ID.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--resource-types (list)

The type of resource from which to get compliance information. Currently, the only supported resource type is ManagedInstance .

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "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 .

Command:

aws ssm list-compliance-items --resource-ids "i-1234567890abcdef0" --resource-types "ManagedInstance" --filters "Key=ComplianceType,Values=Association,Type=EQUAL" "Key=Id,Values=e4c2ed6d-516f-41aa-aa2a-0123456789ab,Type=EQUAL"

To list compliance items for a instance after a specific date and time

This example lists all compliance items for an instance after the specified date and time.

Command:

aws ssm list-compliance-items --resource-ids "i-1234567890abcdef0" --resource-types "ManagedInstance" --filters "Key=ExecutionTime,Values=2019-02-18T16:00:00Z,Type=GREATER_THAN"

Output¶

ComplianceItems -> (list)

A list of compliance information for the specified resource ID.

(structure)

Information about the compliance as defined by the resource type. For example, for a patch resource type, Items includes information about the PatchSeverity, Classification, and so on.

ComplianceType -> (string)

The compliance type. For example, Association (for a State Manager association), Patch, or Custom:string are all valid compliance types.

ResourceType -> (string)

The type of resource. ManagedInstance is currently the only supported resource type.

ResourceId -> (string)

An ID for the resource. For a managed node, this is the node ID.

Id -> (string)

An ID for the compliance item. For example, if the compliance item is a Windows patch, the ID could be the number of the KB article; for example: KB4010320.

Title -> (string)

A title for the compliance item. For example, if the compliance item is a Windows patch, the title could be the title of the KB article for the patch; for example: Security Update for Active Directory Federation Services.

Status -> (string)

The status of the compliance item. An item is either COMPLIANT, NON_COMPLIANT, or an empty string (for Windows patches that aren’t applicable).

Severity -> (string)

The severity of the compliance status. Severity can be one of the following: Critical, High, Medium, Low, Informational, Unspecified.

ExecutionSummary -> (structure)

A summary for the compliance item. The summary includes an execution ID, the execution type (for example, command), and the execution time.

ExecutionTime -> (timestamp)

The time the execution ran as a datetime object that is saved in the following format: yyyy-MM-dd’T’HH:mm:ss’Z’.

ExecutionId -> (string)

An ID created by the system when PutComplianceItems was called. For example, CommandID is a valid execution ID. You can use this ID in subsequent calls.

ExecutionType -> (string)

The type of execution. For example, Command is a valid execution type.

Details -> (map)

A “Key”: “Value” tag combination for the compliance item.

key -> (string)

value -> (string)
