Synopsis

Calls the AWS Systems Manager GetParameters API operation.

Syntax

Get-SSMParameterValue
-Name <String[]>
-WithDecryption <Boolean>
-Select <String>
-ClientConfig <AmazonSimpleSystemsManagementConfig>

Description

Get information about one or more parameters by specifying multiple parameter names. To get information about a single parameter, you can use the GetParameter operation instead. Parameter names can't contain spaces. The service removes any spaces specified for the beginning or end of a parameter name. If the specified name for a parameter contains spaces between characters, the request fails with a ValidationException error.

Note: For scripts written against earlier versions of this module this cmdlet can also be invoked with the alias, Get-SSMParameterNameList.

Parameters

-ClientConfig <AmazonSimpleSystemsManagementConfig>
Amazon.PowerShell.Cmdlets.SSM.AmazonSimpleSystemsManagementClientCmdlet.ClientConfig
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Name <String[]>
The names or Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) of the parameters that you want to query. For parameters shared with you from another account, you must use the full ARNs.To query by parameter label, use "Name": "name:label". To query by parameter version, use "Name": "name:version".The results for GetParameters requests are listed in alphabetical order in query responses.For information about shared parameters, see Working with shared parameters in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide. Starting with version 4 of the SDK this property will default to null. If no data for this property is returned from the service the property will also be null. This was changed to improve performance and allow the SDK and caller to distinguish between a property not set or a property being empty to clear out a value. To retain the previous SDK behavior set the AWSConfigs.InitializeCollections static property to true.
Required?True
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesNames
-Select <String>
Use the -Select parameter to control the cmdlet output. The default value is '*'. Specifying -Select '*' will result in the cmdlet returning the whole service response (Amazon.SimpleSystemsManagement.Model.GetParametersResponse). Specifying the name of a property of type Amazon.SimpleSystemsManagement.Model.GetParametersResponse will result in that property being returned. Specifying -Select '^ParameterName' will result in the cmdlet returning the selected cmdlet parameter value.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-WithDecryption <Boolean>
Return decrypted secure string value. Return decrypted values for secure string parameters. This flag is ignored for String and StringList parameter types.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)

Common Credential and Region Parameters

-AccessKey <String>
The AWS access key for the user account. This can be a temporary access key if the corresponding session token is supplied to the -SessionToken parameter.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesAK
-Credential <AWSCredentials>
An AWSCredentials object instance containing access and secret key information, and optionally a token for session-based credentials.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-EndpointUrl <String>
The endpoint to make the call against.Note: This parameter is primarily for internal AWS use and is not required/should not be specified for normal usage. The cmdlets normally determine which endpoint to call based on the region specified to the -Region parameter or set as default in the shell (via Set-DefaultAWSRegion). Only specify this parameter if you must direct the call to a specific custom endpoint.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-NetworkCredential <PSCredential>
Used with SAML-based authentication when ProfileName references a SAML role profile. Contains the network credentials to be supplied during authentication with the configured identity provider's endpoint. This parameter is not required if the user's default network identity can or should be used during authentication.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-ProfileLocation <String>
Used to specify the name and location of the ini-format credential file (shared with the AWS CLI and other AWS SDKs)If this optional parameter is omitted this cmdlet will search the encrypted credential file used by the AWS SDK for .NET and AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio first. If the profile is not found then the cmdlet will search in the ini-format credential file at the default location: (user's home directory)\.aws\credentials.If this parameter is specified then this cmdlet will only search the ini-format credential file at the location given.As the current folder can vary in a shell or during script execution it is advised that you use specify a fully qualified path instead of a relative path.
Required?False
