Options

--client-token (string)

A token ensuring that the action is called only once with the specified details.

--event-data (string)

A short description of the event.

--event-references (list)

Adds one or more references to the TimelineEvent . A reference can be an Amazon Web Services resource involved in the incident or in some way associated with it. When you specify a reference, you enter the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the resource. You can also specify a related item. As an example, you could specify the ARN of an Amazon DynamoDB (DynamoDB) table. The table for this example is the resource. You could also specify a Amazon CloudWatch metric for that table. The metric is the related item.

(tagged union structure)

An item referenced in a TimelineEvent that is involved in or somehow associated with an incident. You can specify an Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for an Amazon Web Services resource or a RelatedItem ID.

Note

This is a Tagged Union structure. Only one of the following top level keys can be set: relatedItemId, resource.

relatedItemId -> (string)

The ID of a RelatedItem referenced in a TimelineEvent .

resource -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an Amazon Web Services resource referenced in a TimelineEvent .

Shorthand Syntax:

relatedItemId=string,resource=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "relatedItemId": "string",
    "resource": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--event-time (timestamp)

The time that the event occurred.

--event-type (string)

The type of the event. You can create timeline events of type Custom Event .

--incident-record-arn (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the incident record to which the event will be added.

--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.

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 create a timeline event

The following create-timeline-event example creates a custom timeline event at the specified time on the specified incident.

aws ssm-incidents create-timeline-event \
    --event-data "\"example timeline event\"" \
    --event-time 2020-10-01T20:30:00.000 \
    --event-type "Custom Event" \
    --incident-record-arn "arn:aws:ssm-incidents::111122223333:incident-record/Example-Response-Plan/6ebcc812-85f5-b7eb-8b2f-283e4d844308"

Output:

{
    "eventId": "c0bcc885-a41d-eb01-b4ab-9d2de193643c",
    "incidentRecordArn": "arn:aws:ssm-incidents::111122223333:incident-record/Example-Response-Plan/6ebcc812-85f5-b7eb-8b2f-283e4d844308"
}

For more information, see Incident details in the Incident Manager User Guide.

Output

eventId -> (string)

The ID of the event for easy reference later.

incidentRecordArn -> (string)

The ARN of the incident record that you added the event to.
