put-function-recursion-config

Description

Sets your function’s recursive loop detection configuration.

When you configure a Lambda function to output to the same service or resource that invokes the function, it’s possible to create an infinite recursive loop. For example, a Lambda function might write a message to an Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queue, which then invokes the same function. This invocation causes the function to write another message to the queue, which in turn invokes the function again.

Lambda can detect certain types of recursive loops shortly after they occur. When Lambda detects a recursive loop and your function’s recursive loop detection configuration is set to Terminate , it stops your function being invoked and notifies you.

Options

--function-name (string)

The name or ARN of the Lambda function.

Name formats
  • Function namemy-function .
  • Function ARNarn:aws:lambda:us-west-2:123456789012:function:my-function .
  • Partial ARN123456789012:function:my-function .

The length constraint applies only to the full ARN. If you specify only the function name, it is limited to 64 characters in length.

--recursive-loop (string)

If you set your function’s recursive loop detection configuration to Allow , Lambda doesn’t take any action when it detects your function being invoked as part of a recursive loop. We recommend that you only use this setting if your design intentionally uses a Lambda function to write data back to the same Amazon Web Services resource that invokes it.

If you set your function’s recursive loop detection configuration to Terminate , Lambda stops your function being invoked and notifies you when it detects your function being invoked as part of a recursive loop.

By default, Lambda sets your function’s configuration to Terminate .

Warning

If your design intentionally uses a Lambda function to write data back to the same Amazon Web Services resource that invokes the function, then use caution and implement suitable guard rails to prevent unexpected charges being billed to your Amazon Web Services account. To learn more about best practices for using recursive invocation patterns, see Recursive patterns that cause run-away Lambda functions in Serverless Land.

Possible values:

  • Allow
  • Terminate

--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.

Output

RecursiveLoop -> (string)

The status of your function’s recursive loop detection configuration.

When this value is set to Allow and Lambda detects your function being invoked as part of a recursive loop, it doesn’t take any action.

When this value is set to Terminate and Lambda detects your function being invoked as part of a recursive loop, it stops your function being invoked and notifies you.
