describe-query¶

Description¶

Returns metadata about a query, including query run time in milliseconds, number of events scanned and matched, and query status. If the query results were delivered to an S3 bucket, the response also provides the S3 URI and the delivery status.

You must specify either a QueryID or a QueryAlias . Specifying the QueryAlias parameter returns information about the last query run for the alias.

Options¶

--event-data-store (string)

The ARN (or the ID suffix of the ARN) of an event data store on which the specified query was run.

--query-id (string)

The query ID.

--query-alias (string)

The alias that identifies a query template.

--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.

Output¶

QueryId -> (string)

The ID of the query.

QueryString -> (string)

The SQL code of a query.

QueryStatus -> (string)

The status of a query. Values for QueryStatus include QUEUED , RUNNING , FINISHED , FAILED , TIMED_OUT , or CANCELLED

QueryStatistics -> (structure)

Metadata about a query, including the number of events that were matched, the total number of events scanned, the query run time in milliseconds, and the query’s creation time.

EventsMatched -> (long)

The number of events that matched a query.

EventsScanned -> (long)

The number of events that the query scanned in the event data store.

BytesScanned -> (long)

The total bytes that the query scanned in the event data store. This value matches the number of bytes for which your account is billed for the query, unless the query is still running.

ExecutionTimeInMillis -> (integer)

The query’s run time, in milliseconds.

CreationTime -> (timestamp)

The creation time of the query.

The error message returned if a query failed.

DeliveryS3Uri -> (string)

The URI for the S3 bucket where CloudTrail delivered query results, if applicable.

DeliveryStatus -> (string)

The delivery status.

Prompt -> (string)

The prompt used for a generated query. For information about generated queries, see Create CloudTrail Lake queries from natural language prompts in the CloudTrail user guide.
