# Use `DescribeNotificationConfigurations` with a CLI The following code examples show how to use `DescribeNotificationConfigurations`. ------ #### [ CLI ] **AWS CLI** **Example 1: To describe the notification configurations of a specified group** This example describes the notification configurations for the specified Auto Scaling group. ``` aws autoscaling describe-notification-configurations \ --auto-scaling-group-name my-asg ``` Output: ``` { "NotificationConfigurations": [ { "AutoScalingGroupName": "my-asg", "NotificationType": "autoscaling:TEST_NOTIFICATION", "TopicARN": "arn:aws:sns:us-west-2:123456789012:my-sns-topic-2" }, { "AutoScalingGroupName": "my-asg", "NotificationType": "autoscaling:TEST_NOTIFICATION", "TopicARN": "arn:aws:sns:us-west-2:123456789012:my-sns-topic" } ] } ``` For more information, see [Getting Amazon SNS notifications when your Auto Scaling group scales](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/autoscaling/ec2/userguide/ASGettingNotifications.html) in the *Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide*. **Example 1: To describe a specified number of notification configurations** To return a specific number of notification configurations, use the `max-items` parameter. ``` aws autoscaling describe-notification-configurations \ --auto-scaling-group-name my-auto-scaling-group \ --max-items 1 ``` Output: ``` { "NotificationConfigurations": [ { "AutoScalingGroupName": "my-asg", "NotificationType": "autoscaling:TEST_NOTIFICATION", "TopicARN": "arn:aws:sns:us-west-2:123456789012:my-sns-topic-2" }, { "AutoScalingGroupName": "my-asg", "NotificationType": "autoscaling:TEST_NOTIFICATION", "TopicARN": "arn:aws:sns:us-west-2:123456789012:my-sns-topic" } ] } ``` If the output includes a `NextToken` field, there are more notification configurations. To get the additional notification configurations, use the value of this field with the `starting-token` parameter in a subsequent call as follows. ``` aws autoscaling describe-notification-configurations \ --auto-scaling-group-name my-asg \ --starting-token Z3M3LMPEXAMPLE ``` For more information, see [Getting Amazon SNS notifications when your Auto Scaling group scales](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/autoscaling/ec2/userguide/ASGettingNotifications.html) in the *Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide*. + For API details, see [DescribeNotificationConfigurations](https://awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/reference/autoscaling/describe-notification-configurations.html) in *AWS CLI Command Reference*. ------ #### [ PowerShell ] **Tools for PowerShell V4** **Example 1: This example describes the notification actions associated with the specified Auto Scaling group.** ``` Get-ASNotificationConfiguration -AutoScalingGroupName my-asg | format-list ``` **Output:** ``` AutoScalingGroupName : my-asg NotificationType : auto-scaling:EC2_INSTANCE_LAUNCH TopicARN : arn:aws:sns:us-west-2:123456789012:my-topic AutoScalingGroupName : my-asg NotificationType : auto-scaling:EC2_INSTANCE_TERMINATE TopicARN : arn:aws:sns:us-west-2:123456789012:my-topic ``` **Example 2: This example describes the notification actions associated with all your Auto Scaling groups.** ``` Get-ASNotificationConfiguration ``` + For API details, see [DescribeNotificationConfigurations](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/powershell/v4/reference) in *AWS Tools for PowerShell Cmdlet Reference (V4)*. **Tools for PowerShell V5** **Example 1: This example describes the notification actions associated with the specified Auto Scaling group.** ``` Get-ASNotificationConfiguration -AutoScalingGroupName my-asg | format-list ``` **Output:** ``` AutoScalingGroupName : my-asg NotificationType : auto-scaling:EC2_INSTANCE_LAUNCH TopicARN : arn:aws:sns:us-west-2:123456789012:my-topic AutoScalingGroupName : my-asg NotificationType : auto-scaling:EC2_INSTANCE_TERMINATE TopicARN : arn:aws:sns:us-west-2:123456789012:my-topic ``` **Example 2: This example describes the notification actions associated with all your Auto Scaling groups.** ``` Get-ASNotificationConfiguration ``` + For API details, see [DescribeNotificationConfigurations](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/powershell/v5/reference) in *AWS Tools for PowerShell Cmdlet Reference (V5)*. ------ For a complete list of AWS SDK developer guides and code examples, see [Using this service with an AWS SDK](sdk-general-information-section.md).
