   "MaxResults": number,
   "NextToken": "string",
   "ResourceIds": [ "string" ],
   "ScalableDimension": "string",
   "ServiceNamespace": "string"
}

Request Parameters

For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see Common Parameters.

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

MaxResults

The maximum number of scalable targets. This value can be between 1 and 50. The default value is 50.

If this parameter is used, the operation returns up to MaxResults results at a time, along with a NextToken value. To get the next set of results, include the NextToken value in a subsequent call. If this parameter is not used, the operation returns up to 50 results and a NextToken value, if applicable.

Type: Integer

Required: No

NextToken

The token for the next set of results.

Type: String

Pattern: [\u0020-\uD7FF\uE000-\uFFFD\uD800\uDC00-\uDBFF\uDFFF\r\n\t]*

Required: No

ResourceIds

The identifier of the resource associated with the scalable target. This string consists of the resource type and unique identifier.

ECS service - The resource type is service and the unique identifier is the cluster name and service name. Example: service/my-cluster/my-service.

Array Members: Maximum number of 50 items.

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 1600.

Pattern: [\u0020-\uD7FF\uE000-\uFFFD\uD800\uDC00-\uDBFF\uDFFF\r\n\t]*

Required: No

ScalableDimension

The scalable dimension associated with the scalable target. This string consists of the service namespace, resource type, and scaling property. If you specify a scalable dimension, you must also specify a resource ID.

ecs:service:DesiredCount - The task count of an ECS service.

Examples

If you plan to create requests manually, you must replace the Authorization header contents in the examples (AUTHPARAMS) with a signature. For more information, see Signing AWS API requests in the IAM User Guide. If you plan to use the AWS CLI or one of the AWS SDKs, these tools sign the requests for you.

Example

The following example describes the scalable targets for the ecs service namespace.
