Synopsis

Calls the AWS Systems Manager AddTagsToResource API operation.

Syntax

Add-SSMResourceTag
-ResourceId <String>
-ResourceType <ResourceTypeForTagging>
-Tag <Tag[]>
-Select <String>
-PassThru <SwitchParameter>
-Force <SwitchParameter>
-ClientConfig <AmazonSimpleSystemsManagementConfig>

Description

Adds or overwrites one or more tags for the specified resource. Tags are metadata that you can assign to your automations, documents, managed nodes, maintenance windows, Parameter Store parameters, and patch baselines. Tags enable you to categorize your resources in different ways, for example, by purpose, owner, or environment. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value, both of which you define. For example, you could define a set of tags for your account's managed nodes that helps you track each node's owner and stack level. For example:
  • Key=Owner,Value=DbAdmin
  • Key=Owner,Value=SysAdmin
  • Key=Owner,Value=Dev
  • Key=Stack,Value=Production
  • Key=Stack,Value=Pre-Production
  • Key=Stack,Value=Test
Most resources can have a maximum of 50 tags. Automations can have a maximum of 5 tags. We recommend that you devise a set of tag keys that meets your needs for each resource type. Using a consistent set of tag keys makes it easier for you to manage your resources. You can search and filter the resources based on the tags you add. Tags don't have any semantic meaning to and are interpreted strictly as a string of characters. For more information about using tags with Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances, see Tag your Amazon EC2 resources in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.

Parameters

-ClientConfig <AmazonSimpleSystemsManagementConfig>
Amazon.PowerShell.Cmdlets.SSM.AmazonSimpleSystemsManagementClientCmdlet.ClientConfig
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Force <SwitchParameter>
This parameter overrides confirmation prompts to force the cmdlet to continue its operation. This parameter should always be used with caution.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-PassThru <SwitchParameter>
Changes the cmdlet behavior to return the value passed to the ResourceId parameter. The -PassThru parameter is deprecated, use -Select '^ResourceId' instead. This parameter will be removed in a future version.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-ResourceId <String>
The resource ID you want to tag.Use the ID of the resource. Here are some examples:MaintenanceWindow: mw-012345abcdePatchBaseline: pb-012345abcdeAutomation: example-c160-4567-8519-012345abcdeOpsMetadata object: ResourceID for tagging is created from the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the object. Specifically, ResourceID is created from the strings that come after the word opsmetadata in the ARN. For example, an OpsMetadata object with an ARN of arn:aws:ssm:us-east-2:1234567890:opsmetadata/aws/ssm/MyGroup/appmanager has a ResourceID of either aws/ssm/MyGroup/appmanager or /aws/ssm/MyGroup/appmanager.For the Document and Parameter values, use the name of the resource. If you're tagging a shared document, you must use the full ARN of the document.ManagedInstance: mi-012345abcdeThe ManagedInstance type for this API operation is only for on-premises managed nodes. You must specify the name of the managed node in the following format: mi-ID_number. For example, mi-1a2b3c4d5e6f.
Required?True
Position?1
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-ResourceType <ResourceTypeForTagging>
Specifies the type of resource you are tagging.The ManagedInstance type for this API operation is for on-premises managed nodes. You must specify the name of the managed node in the following format: mi-ID_number. For example, mi-1a2b3c4d5e6f.
Required?True
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Select <String>
Use the -Select parameter to control the cmdlet output. The cmdlet doesn't have a return value by default. Specifying -Select '*' will result in the cmdlet returning the whole service response (Amazon.SimpleSystemsManagement.Model.AddTagsToResourceResponse). Specifying -Select '^ParameterName' will result in the cmdlet returning the selected cmdlet parameter value.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Tag <Tag[]>
One or more tags. The value parameter is required.Don't enter personally identifiable information in this field.
Required?True
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesTags

Common Credential and Region Parameters

-AccessKey <String>
The AWS access key for the user account. This can be a temporary access key if the corresponding session token is supplied to the -SessionToken parameter.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesAK
-Credential <AWSCredentials>
An AWSCredentials object instance containing access and secret key information, and optionally a token for session-based credentials.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-EndpointUrl <String>
The endpoint to make the call against.Note: This parameter is primarily for internal AWS use and is not required/should not be specified for normal usage. The cmdlets normally determine which endpoint to call based on the region specified to the -Region parameter or set as default in the shell (via Set-DefaultAWSRegion). Only specify this parameter if you must direct the call to a specific custom endpoint.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-NetworkCredential <PSCredential>
Used with SAML-based authentication when ProfileName references a SAML role profile. Contains the network credentials to be supplied during authentication with the configured identity provider's endpoint. This parameter is not required if the user's default network identity can or should be used during authentication.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-ProfileLocation <String>
Used to specify the name and location of the ini-format credential file (shared with the AWS CLI and other AWS SDKs)If this optional parameter is omitted this cmdlet will search the encrypted credential file used by the AWS SDK for .NET and AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio first. If the profile is not found then the cmdlet will search in the ini-format credential file at the default location: (user's home directory)\.aws\credentials.If this parameter is specified then this cmdlet will only search the ini-format credential file at the location given.As the current folder can vary in a shell or during script execution it is advised that you use specify a fully qualified path instead of a relative path.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesAWSProfilesLocation, ProfilesLocation
-ProfileName <String>
The user-defined name of an AWS credentials or SAML-based role profile containing credential information. The profile is expected to be found in the secure credential file shared with the AWS SDK for .NET and AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio. You can also specify the name of a profile stored in the .ini-format credential file used with the AWS CLI and other AWS SDKs.
Required?False

Outputs

None or Amazon.SimpleSystemsManagement.Model.AddTagsToResourceResponse
This cmdlet does not generate any output.The service response (type Amazon.SimpleSystemsManagement.Model.AddTagsToResourceResponse) can be referenced from properties attached to the cmdlet entry in the $AWSHistory stack.

Examples

Example 1

$option1 = @{Key="Stack";Value=@("Production")}
Add-SSMResourceTag -ResourceId "mw-03eb9db42890fb82d" -ResourceType "MaintenanceWindow" -Tag $option1
This example updates a maintenance window with new tags. There is no output if the command succeeds. The syntax used by this example requires PowerShell version 3 or later.

Example 2

$tag1 = New-Object Amazon.SimpleSystemsManagement.Model.Tag
$tag1.Key = "Stack"
$tag1.Value = "Production"
		
Add-SSMResourceTag -ResourceId "mw-03eb9db42890fb82d" -ResourceType "MaintenanceWindow" -Tag $tag1
With PowerShell version 2, you must use New-Object to create each tag. There is no output if the command succeeds.
