get-group¶

Description¶

Retrieves group resource details.

Synopsis¶

  get-group
[--group-name <value>]
[--group-arn <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--group-name (string)

The case-sensitive name of the group.

--group-arn (string)

The ARN of the group that was generated on creation.

--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 retrieve a group

The following get-group example displays details for the specified group resource. The details include the group name, the group ARN, and the filter expression that defines the criteria for that group. Groups can also be retrieved by ARN.

aws xray get-group \
    --group-name "AdminGroup"

Output:

{
    "Group": [
        {
            "GroupName": "AdminGroup",
            "GroupARN": "arn:aws:xray:us-west-2:123456789012:group/AdminGroup/123456789",
            "FilterExpression": "service(\"mydomain.com\") {fault OR error}"
        }
    ]
}

Group -> (structure)

The group that was requested. Contains the name of the group, the ARN of the group, the filter expression, and the insight configuration assigned to the group.

GroupName -> (string)

The unique case-sensitive name of the group.

GroupARN -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the group generated based on the GroupName.

FilterExpression -> (string)

The filter expression defining the parameters to include traces.

InsightsConfiguration -> (structure)

The structure containing configurations related to insights.

The InsightsEnabled boolean can be set to true to enable insights for the group or false to disable insights for the group.

The NotificationsEnabled boolean can be set to true to enable insights notifications through Amazon EventBridge for the group.

InsightsEnabled -> (boolean)

Set the InsightsEnabled value to true to enable insights or false to disable insights.

NotificationsEnabled -> (boolean)
