describe-sessions

Description

Retrieves a list that describes the streaming sessions for a specified stack and fleet. If a UserId is provided for the stack and fleet, only streaming sessions for that user are described. If an authentication type is not provided, the default is to authenticate users using a streaming URL.

See also: AWS API Documentation

describe-sessions 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: Sessions

Options

--stack-name (string)

The name of the stack. This value is case-sensitive.

--fleet-name (string)

The name of the fleet. This value is case-sensitive.

--user-id (string)

The user identifier (ID). If you specify a user ID, you must also specify the authentication type.

--authentication-type (string)

The authentication method. Specify API for a user authenticated using a streaming URL or SAML for a SAML federated user. The default is to authenticate users using a streaming URL.

Possible values:

  • API
  • SAML
  • USERPOOL
  • AWS_AD

--instance-id (string)

The identifier for the instance hosting the session.

--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.

--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

Sessions -> (list)

Information about the streaming sessions.

(structure)

Describes a streaming session.

Id -> (string)

The identifier of the streaming session.

UserId -> (string)

The identifier of the user for whom the session was created.

StackName -> (string)

The name of the stack for the streaming session.

FleetName -> (string)

The name of the fleet for the streaming session.

State -> (string)

The current state of the streaming session.

ConnectionState -> (string)

Specifies whether a user is connected to the streaming session.

StartTime -> (timestamp)

The time when a streaming instance is dedicated for the user.

MaxExpirationTime -> (timestamp)

The time when the streaming session is set to expire. This time is based on the MaxUserDurationinSeconds value, which determines the maximum length of time that a streaming session can run. A streaming session might end earlier than the time specified in SessionMaxExpirationTime , when the DisconnectTimeOutInSeconds elapses or the user chooses to end his or her session. If the DisconnectTimeOutInSeconds elapses, or the user chooses to end his or her session, the streaming instance is terminated and the streaming session ends.

AuthenticationType -> (string)

The authentication method. The user is authenticated using a streaming URL (API ) or SAML 2.0 federation (SAML ).

NetworkAccessConfiguration -> (structure)

The network details for the streaming session.

EniPrivateIpAddress -> (string)

The private IP address of the elastic network interface that is attached to instances in your VPC.

EniId -> (string)

The resource identifier of the elastic network interface that is attached to instances in your VPC. All network interfaces have the eni-xxxxxxxx resource identifier.

InstanceId -> (string)

The identifier for the instance hosting the session.

NextToken -> (string)

The pagination token to use to retrieve the next page of results for this operation. If there are no more pages, this value is null.
