ExportIdleRecommendations

Export optimization recommendations for your idle resources.

Recommendations are exported in a comma-separated values (CSV) file, and its metadata in a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) file, to an existing Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket that you specify. For more information, see Exporting Recommendations in the Compute Optimizer User Guide.

You can have only one idle resource export job in progress per AWS Region.

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.

accountIds

The AWS account IDs for the export idle resource recommendations.

If your account is the management account or the delegated administrator of an organization, use this parameter to specify the member account you want to export recommendations to.

This parameter can't be specified together with the include member accounts parameter. The parameters are mutually exclusive.

If this parameter or the include member accounts parameter is omitted, the recommendations for member accounts aren't included in the export.

You can specify multiple account IDs per request.

Type: Array of strings

Required: No

fieldsToExport

The recommendations data to include in the export file. For more information about the fields that can be exported, see Exported files in the Compute Optimizer User Guide.

Type: Array of strings

Required: No

fileFormat

The format of the export file. The CSV file is the only export file format currently supported.

Type: String

Valid Values: Csv

Required: No

filters

An array of objects to specify a filter that exports a more specific set of idle resource recommendations.

Type: Array of IdleRecommendationFilter objects

Required: No

includeMemberAccounts

If your account is the management account or the delegated administrator of an organization, this parameter indicates whether to include recommendations for resources in all member accounts of the organization.

The member accounts must also be opted in to Compute Optimizer, and trusted access for Compute Optimizer must be enabled in the organization account. For more information, see Compute Optimizer and AWS Organizations trusted access in the AWS Compute Optimizer User Guide.

If this parameter is omitted, recommendations for member accounts of the organization aren't included in the export file.

If this parameter or the account ID parameter is omitted, recommendations for member accounts aren't included in the export.

Type: Boolean

Required: No

s3DestinationConfig

Describes the destination Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket name and key prefix for a recommendations export job.

You must create the destination Amazon S3 bucket for your recommendations export before you create the export job. Compute Optimizer does not create the S3 bucket for you. After you create the S3 bucket, ensure that it has the required permission policy to allow Compute Optimizer to write the export file to it. If you plan to specify an object prefix when you create the export job, you must include the object prefix in the policy that you add to the S3 bucket. For more information, see Amazon S3 Bucket Policy for Compute Optimizer in the Compute Optimizer User Guide.

Type: S3DestinationConfig object

Required: Yes
