Options

--thing-group-name (string)

The dynamic thing group name to create.

--thing-group-properties (structure)

The dynamic thing group properties.

thingGroupDescription -> (string)

The thing group description.

attributePayload -> (structure)

The thing group attributes in JSON format.

attributes -> (map)

A JSON string containing up to three key-value pair in JSON format. For example:

{\"attributes\":{\"string1\":\"string2\"}}

key -> (string)

value -> (string)

merge -> (boolean)

Specifies whether the list of attributes provided in the AttributePayload is merged with the attributes stored in the registry, instead of overwriting them.

To remove an attribute, call UpdateThing with an empty attribute value.

Note

The merge attribute is only valid when calling UpdateThing or UpdateThingGroup .

Shorthand Syntax:

thingGroupDescription=string,attributePayload={attributes={KeyName1=string,KeyName2=string},merge=boolean}

JSON Syntax:

{
  "thingGroupDescription": "string",
  "attributePayload": {
    "attributes": {"string": "string"
      ...},
    "merge": true|false
  }
}

--index-name (string)

The dynamic thing group index name.

Note

Currently one index is supported: AWS_Things .

--query-string (string)

The dynamic thing group search query string.

See Query Syntax for information about query string syntax.

--query-version (string)

The dynamic thing group query version.

Note

Currently one query version is supported: "2017-09-30". If not specified, the query version defaults to this value.

--tags (list)

Metadata which can be used to manage the dynamic thing group.

(structure)

A set of key/value pairs that are used to manage the resource.

Key -> (string)

The tag's key.

Value -> (string)

The tag's value.

Shorthand Syntax:

Key=string,Value=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Key": "string",
    "Value": "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.

--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.

Examples

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal's quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

To create a dynamic thing group

The following create-dynamic-thing-group example creates a dynamic thing group that contains any thing with a temperature attribute that is greater than 60 degrees. You must enable AWS IoT fleet indexing before you can use dynamic thing groups.

aws iot create-dynamic-thing-group \
    --thing-group-name "RoomTooWarm" \
    --query-string "attributes.temperature>60"

Output:

{
    "thingGroupName": "RoomTooWarm",
    "thingGroupArn": "arn:aws:iot:us-west-2:123456789012:thinggroup/RoomTooWarm",
    "thingGroupId": "9d52492a-fc87-43f4-b6e2-e571d2ffcad1",
    "indexName": "AWS_Things",
    "queryString": "attributes.temperature>60",
    "queryVersion": "2017-09-30"
}

For more information, see Dynamic Thing Groups in the AWS IoT Developers Guide.
