describe-state-machine-for-execution

Description

Provides information about a state machine's definition, its execution role ARN, and configuration. If a Map Run dispatched the execution, this action returns the Map Run Amazon Resource Name (ARN) in the response. The state machine returned is the state machine associated with the Map Run.

Note

This operation is eventually consistent. The results are best effort and may not reflect very recent updates and changes.

This API action is not supported by EXPRESS state machines.

Options

--execution-arn (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the execution you want state machine information for.

--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.

Output

stateMachineArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the state machine associated with the execution.

name -> (string)

The name of the state machine associated with the execution.

definition -> (string)

The Amazon States Language definition of the state machine. See Amazon States Language .

roleArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM role of the State Machine for the execution.

updateDate -> (timestamp)

The date and time the state machine associated with an execution was updated. For a newly created state machine, this is the creation date.

loggingConfiguration -> (structure)

The LoggingConfiguration data type is used to set CloudWatch Logs options.

level -> (string)

Defines which category of execution history events are logged.

includeExecutionData -> (boolean)

Determines whether execution data is included in your log. When set to false , data is excluded.

destinations -> (list)

An array of objects that describes where your execution history events will be logged. Limited to size 1. Required, if your log level is not set to OFF .

(structure)

cloudWatchLogsLogGroup -> (structure)

An object describing a CloudWatch log group. For more information, see AWS::Logs::LogGroup in the CloudFormation User Guide.

logGroupArn -> (string)

The ARN of the the CloudWatch log group to which you want your logs emitted to. The ARN must end with :*

tracingConfiguration -> (structure)

Selects whether X-Ray tracing is enabled.

enabled -> (boolean)

When set to true , X-Ray tracing is enabled.

mapRunArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Map Run that started the child workflow execution. This field is returned only if the executionArn is a child workflow execution that was started by a Distributed Map state.

label -> (string)

A user-defined or an auto-generated string that identifies a Map state. This field is returned only if the executionArn is a child workflow execution that was started by a Distributed Map state.

revisionId -> (string)

The revision identifier for the state machine. The first revision ID when you create the state machine is null.

Use the state machine revisionId parameter to compare the revision of a state machine with the configuration of the state machine used for executions without performing a diff of the properties, such as definition and roleArn .
