AWS CLI Command Reference

[ aws . health ]

describe-affected-entities

Description

Returns a list of entities that have been affected by the specified events, based on the specified filter criteria. Entities can refer to individual customer resources, groups of customer resources, or any other construct, depending on the Amazon Web Services service. Events that have impact beyond that of the affected entities, or where the extent of impact is unknown, include at least one entity indicating this.

At least one event ARN is required.

Note

  • This API operation uses pagination. Specify the nextToken parameter in the next request to return more results.

  • 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 .

See also: AWS API Documentation

describe-affected-entities is a paginated operation. Multiple API calls may be issued in order to retrieve the entire data set of results. You can disable pagination by providing the --no-paginate argument. When using --output text and the --query argument on a paginated response, the --query argument must extract data from the results of the following query expressions: entities

Options

--filter (structure)

Values to narrow the results returned. At least one event ARN is required.

eventArns -> (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)

entityArns -> (list)

A list of entity ARNs (unique identifiers).

(string)

entityValues -> (list)

A list of IDs for affected entities.

(string)

lastUpdatedTimes -> (list)

A list of the most recent dates and times that the entity was updated.

(structure)

A range of dates and times that is used by the EventFilter and EntityFilter objects. If from is set and to is set: match items where the timestamp (startTime , endTime , or lastUpdatedTime ) is between from and to inclusive. If from is set and to is not set: match items where the timestamp value is equal to or after from . If from is not set and to is set: match items where the timestamp value is equal to or before to .

from -> (timestamp)

The starting date and time of a time range.

to -> (timestamp)

The ending date and time of a time range.

tags -> (list)

A map of entity tags attached to the affected entity.

Note

Currently, the tags property isn’t supported.

(map)

key -> (string)

value -> (string)

statusCodes -> (list)

A list of entity status codes (IMPAIRED , UNIMPAIRED , or UNKNOWN ).

(string)

Shorthand Syntax:

eventArns=string,string,entityArns=string,string,entityValues=string,string,lastUpdatedTimes=[{from=timestamp,to=timestamp},{from=timestamp,to=timestamp}],tags=[{KeyName1=string,KeyName2=string},{KeyName1=string,KeyName2=string}],statusCodes=string,string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "eventArns": ["string", ...],
  "entityArns": ["string", ...],
  "entityValues": ["string", ...],
  "lastUpdatedTimes": [
    {
      "from": timestamp,
      "to": timestamp
    }
    ...
  ],
  "tags": [
    {"string": "string"
      ...}
    ...
  ],
  "statusCodes": ["IMPAIRED"|"UNIMPAIRED"|"UNKNOWN", ...]
}

--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.

--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.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command’s default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json

  • text

  • table

  • yaml

  • yaml-stream

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

  • on

  • off

  • auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-binary-format (string)

The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.

  • base64

  • raw-in-base64-out

--no-cli-pager (boolean)

Disable cli pager for output.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

--no-cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Disable automatically prompt for CLI input 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 the entities that are affected by a specified AWS Health event

The following describe-affected-entities example lists the entities that are affected by the specified AWS Health event. This event is a billing notification for the AWS account.

aws health describe-affected-entities \
    --filter "eventArns=arn:aws:health:global::event/BILLING/AWS_BILLING_NOTIFICATION/AWS_BILLING_NOTIFICATION_6ce1d874-e995-40e2-99cd-EXAMPLE11145" \
    --region us-east-1

Output:

{
    "entities": [
        {
            "entityArn": "arn:aws:health:global:123456789012:entity/EXAMPLEimSMoULmWHpb",
            "eventArn": "arn:aws:health:global::event/BILLING/AWS_BILLING_NOTIFICATION/AWS_BILLING_NOTIFICATION_6ce1d874-e995-40e2-99cd-EXAMPLE11145",
            "entityValue": "AWS_ACCOUNT",
            "awsAccountId": "123456789012",
            "lastUpdatedTime": 1588356454.08
        }
    ]
}
