list-documents

Description

Returns all Systems Manager (SSM) documents in the current Amazon Web Services account and Amazon Web Services Region. You can limit the results of this request by using a filter.

See also: AWS API Documentation

list-documents 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: DocumentIdentifiers

Options

--document-filter-list (list)

This data type is deprecated. Instead, use Filters .

(structure)

This data type is deprecated. Instead, use DocumentKeyValuesFilter .

key -> (string)

The name of the filter.

value -> (string)

The value of the filter.

Shorthand Syntax:

key=string,value=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "key": "Name"|"Owner"|"PlatformTypes"|"DocumentType",
    "value": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--filters (list)

One or more DocumentKeyValuesFilter objects. Use a filter to return a more specific list of results. For keys, you can specify one or more key-value pair tags that have been applied to a document. Other valid keys include Owner , Name , PlatformTypes , DocumentType , and TargetType . For example, to return documents you own use Key=Owner,Values=Self . To specify a custom key-value pair, use the format Key=tag:tagName,Values=valueName .

Note

This API operation only supports filtering documents by using a single tag key and one or more tag values. For example: Key=tag:tagName,Values=valueName1,valueName2

(structure)

One or more filters. Use a filter to return a more specific list of documents.

For keys, you can specify one or more tags that have been applied to a document.

You can also use Amazon Web Services-provided keys, some of which have specific allowed values. These keys and their associated values are as follows:

DocumentType

• ApplicationConfiguration

• ApplicationConfigurationSchema

• Automation

• ChangeCalendar

• Command

• Package

• Policy

• Session

  Owner

Note that only one Owner can be specified in a request. For example: Key=Owner,Values=Self .

• Amazon

• Private

• Public

• Self

• ThirdParty

  PlatformTypes

• Linux

• Windows

Name is another Amazon Web Services-provided key. If you use Name as a key, you can use a name prefix to return a list of documents. For example, in the Amazon Web Services CLI, to return a list of all documents that begin with Te , run the following command:

aws ssm list-documents --filters Key=Name,Values=Te

You can also use the TargetType Amazon Web Services-provided key. For a list of valid resource type values that can be used with this key, see Amazon Web Services resource and property types reference in the CloudFormation User Guide .

If you specify more than two keys, only documents that are identified by all the tags are returned in the results. If you specify more than two values for a key, documents that are identified by any of the values are returned in the results.

To specify a custom key-value pair, use the format Key=tag:tagName,Values=valueName .

For example, if you created a key called region and are using the Amazon Web Services CLI to call the list-documents command:

aws ssm list-documents --filters Key=tag:region,Values=east,west Key=Owner,Values=Self

Key -> (string)

The name of the filter key.

Values -> (list)

The value for the filter key.

(string)

Shorthand Syntax:

Key=string,Values=string,string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Key": "string",
    "Values": ["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.

--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. 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.

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 .
