Options

--name (string)

The name of the assessment to be created.

--description (string)

The optional description of the assessment to be created.

--assessment-reports-destination (structure)

The assessment report storage destination for the assessment that’s being created.

destinationType -> (string)

The destination type, such as Amazon S3.

destination -> (string)

The destination bucket where Audit Manager stores assessment reports.

Shorthand Syntax:

destinationType=string,destination=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "destinationType": "S3",
  "destination": "string"
}

--scope (structure)

The wrapper that contains the Amazon Web Services accounts that are in scope for the assessment.

Note

You no longer need to specify which Amazon Web Services are in scope when you create or update an assessment. Audit Manager infers the services in scope by examining your assessment controls and their data sources, and then mapping this information to the relevant Amazon Web Services.

If an underlying data source changes for your assessment, we automatically update the services scope as needed to reflect the correct Amazon Web Services. This ensures that your assessment collects accurate and comprehensive evidence about all of the relevant services in your AWS environment.

awsAccounts -> (list)

The Amazon Web Services accounts that are included in the scope of the assessment.

(structure)

The wrapper of Amazon Web Services account details, such as account ID or email address.

id -> (string)

The identifier for the Amazon Web Services account.

emailAddress -> (string)

The email address that’s associated with the Amazon Web Services account.

name -> (string)

The name of the Amazon Web Services account.

awsServices -> (list)

The Amazon Web Services services that are included in the scope of the assessment.

Warning

This API parameter is no longer supported. If you use this parameter to specify one or more Amazon Web Services, Audit Manager ignores this input. Instead, the value for awsServices will show as empty.

(structure)

An Amazon Web Service such as Amazon S3 or CloudTrail.

For an example of how to find an Amazon Web Service name and how to define it in your assessment scope, see the following:

serviceName -> (string)

The name of the Amazon Web Service.

Shorthand Syntax:

awsAccounts=[{id=string,emailAddress=string,name=string},{id=string,emailAddress=string,name=string}],awsServices=[{serviceName=string},{serviceName=string}]

JSON Syntax:

{
  "awsAccounts": [
    {
      "id": "string",
      "emailAddress": "string",
      "name": "string"
    }
    ...
  ],
  "awsServices": [
    {
      "serviceName": "string"
    }
    ...
  ]
}

--roles (list)

roleArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM role.

Shorthand Syntax:

roleType=string,roleArn=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "roleType": "PROCESS_OWNER"|"RESOURCE_OWNER",

  }
  ...

value -> (string)

Shorthand Syntax:

KeyName1=string,KeyName2=string

JSON 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.

--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. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--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.
