delete-canary

Description

Permanently deletes the specified canary.

If you specify DeleteLambda to true , CloudWatch Synthetics also deletes the Lambda functions and layers that are used by the canary.

Other resources used and created by the canary are not automatically deleted. After you delete a canary that you do not intend to use again, you should also delete the following:

  • The CloudWatch alarms created for this canary. These alarms have a name of ``Synthetics-SharpDrop-Alarm-MyCanaryName `` .
  • Amazon S3 objects and buckets, such as the canary's artifact location.
  • IAM roles created for the canary. If they were created in the console, these roles have the name ``role/service-role/CloudWatchSyntheticsRole-MyCanaryName `` .
  • CloudWatch Logs log groups created for the canary. These logs groups have the name ``/aws/lambda/cwsyn-MyCanaryName `` .

Before you delete a canary, you might want to use GetCanary to display the information about this canary. Make note of the information returned by this operation so that you can delete these resources after you delete the canary.

Options

--name (string)

The name of the canary that you want to delete. To find the names of your canaries, use DescribeCanaries .

--delete-lambda | --no-delete-lambda (boolean)

Specifies whether to also delete the Lambda functions and layers used by this canary. The default is false.

Type: Boolean

--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.
