describe-import-tasks

Description

Returns an array of import tasks for your account, including status information, times, IDs, the Amazon S3 Object URL for the import file, and more.

See also: AWS API Documentation

describe-import-tasks is a paginated operation. Multiple API calls may be issued in order to retrieve the entire data set of results. You can disable pagination by providing the --no-paginate argument. When using --output text and the --query argument on a paginated response, the --query argument must extract data from the results of the following query expressions: tasks

Options

--filters (list)

An array of name-value pairs that you provide to filter the results for the DescribeImportTask request to a specific subset of results. Currently, wildcard values aren't supported for filters.

(structure)

A name-values pair of elements you can use to filter the results when querying your import tasks. Currently, wildcards are not supported for filters.

Note

When filtering by import status, all other filter values are ignored.

name -> (string)

The name, status, or import task ID for a specific import task.

values -> (list)

An array of strings that you can provide to match against a specific name, status, or import task ID to filter the results for your import task queries.

(string)

Shorthand Syntax:

name=string,values=string,string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "name": "IMPORT_TASK_ID"|"STATUS"|"NAME",
    "values": ["string", ...]
  }
  ...
]

--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.

--starting-token (string)

A token to specify where to start paginating. This is the NextToken from a previously truncated response.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--page-size (integer)

The size of each page to get in the AWS service call. This does not affect the number of items returned in the command's output. Setting a smaller page size results in more calls to the AWS service, retrieving fewer items in each call. This can help prevent the AWS service calls from timing out.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--max-items (integer)

The total number of items to return in the command's output. If the total number of items available is more than the value specified, a NextToken is provided in the command's output. To resume pagination, provide the NextToken value in the starting-token argument of a subsequent command. Do not use the NextToken response element directly outside of the AWS CLI.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--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. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--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

nextToken -> (string)

The token to request the next page of results.

tasks -> (list)

A returned array of import tasks that match any applied filters, up to the specified number of maximum results.

(structure)

An array of information related to the import task request that includes status information, times, IDs, the Amazon S3 Object URL for the import file, and more.

importTaskId -> (string)

The unique ID for a specific import task. These IDs aren't globally unique, but they are unique within an Amazon Web Services account.

clientRequestToken -> (string)

A unique token used to prevent the same import request from occurring more than once. If you didn't provide a token, a token was automatically generated when the import task request was sent.

name -> (string)

A descriptive name for an import task. You can use this name to filter future requests related to this import task, such as identifying applications and servers that were included in this import task. We recommend that you use a meaningful name for each import task.

importUrl -> (string)

The URL for your import file that you've uploaded to Amazon S3.

status -> (string)

The status of the import task. An import can have the status of IMPORT_COMPLETE and still have some records fail to import from the overall request. More information can be found in the downloadable archive defined in the errorsAndFailedEntriesZip field, or in the Migration Hub management console.

importRequestTime -> (timestamp)

The time that the import task request was made, presented in the Unix time stamp format.

importCompletionTime -> (timestamp)

The time that the import task request finished, presented in the Unix time stamp format.

importDeletedTime -> (timestamp)

The time that the import task request was deleted, presented in the Unix time stamp format.

serverImportSuccess -> (integer)

The total number of server records in the import file that were successfully imported.

serverImportFailure -> (integer)

The total number of server records in the import file that failed to be imported.

applicationImportSuccess -> (integer)

The total number of application records in the import file that were successfully imported.

applicationImportFailure -> (integer)

The total number of application records in the import file that failed to be imported.

errorsAndFailedEntriesZip -> (string)

A link to a compressed archive folder (in the ZIP format) that contains an error log and a file of failed records. You can use these two files to quickly identify records that failed, why they failed, and correct those records. Afterward, you can upload the corrected file to your Amazon S3 bucket and create another import task request.

This field also includes authorization information so you can confirm the authenticity of the compressed archive before you download it.

If some records failed to be imported we recommend that you correct the records in the failed entries file and then imports that failed entries file. This prevents you from having to correct and update the larger original file and attempt importing it again.
