Use ListCommandInvocations with an AWS SDK or CLI - AWS SDK Code Examples

There are more AWS SDK examples available in the AWS Doc SDK Examples GitHub repo.

Use ListCommandInvocations with an AWS SDK or CLI

The following code examples show how to use ListCommandInvocations.

Action examples are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. You can see this action in context in the following code example:

CLI
AWS CLI

To list the invocations of a specific command

The following list-command-invocations example lists all the invocations of a command.

aws ssm list-command-invocations \
    --command-id "ef7fdfd8-9b57-4151-a15c-db9a12345678" \
