describe-configurations¶

Description¶

Retrieves attributes for a list of configuration item IDs.

Note

All of the supplied IDs must be for the same asset type from one of the following:

server
application
process
connection

Output fields are specific to the asset type specified. For example, the output for a server configuration item includes a list of attributes about the server, such as host name, operating system, number of network cards, etc.

For a complete list of outputs for each asset type, see Using the DescribeConfigurations Action in the Amazon Web Services Application Discovery Service User Guide .

Synopsis¶

  describe-configurations
--configuration-ids <value>
[--cli-input-json <value>]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]
[--debug]
[--endpoint-url <value>]
[--no-verify-ssl]
[--no-paginate]
[--output <value>]
[--query <value>]
[--profile <value>]
[--region <value>]
[--version <value>]
[--color <value>]
[--no-sign-request]
[--ca-bundle <value>]
[--cli-read-timeout <value>]
[--cli-connect-timeout <value>]

Options¶

--configuration-ids (list)

One or more configuration IDs.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI 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.

--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. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

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

--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.

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 .

Describe selected asset configurations

This example command describes the configurations of two specified servers. The action detects the type of asset from the configuration ID. Only one type of asset is allowed per command.

Command:

aws discovery describe-configurations --configuration-ids "d-server-099385097ef9fbcfb" "d-server-0c4f2dd1fee22c6c1"

Describe selected asset configurations

This example command describes the configurations of two specified applications. The action detects the type of asset from the configuration ID. Only one type of asset is allowed per command.

Command:

aws discovery describe-configurations --configuration-ids "d-application-0ac39bc0e4fad0e42" "d-application-02444a45288013764q"

Output:
