Synopsis

Calls the Network Flow Monitor CreateScope API operation.

Syntax

-Tag <Hashtable>
-Target <TargetResource[]>
-ClientToken <String>
-Select <String>
-Force <SwitchParameter>
-ClientConfig <AmazonNetworkFlowMonitorConfig>

Description

In Network Flow Monitor, you specify a scope for the service to generate metrics for. By using the scope, Network Flow Monitor can generate a topology of all the resources to measure performance metrics for. When you create a scope, you enable permissions for Network Flow Monitor. A scope is a Region-account pair or multiple Region-account pairs. Network Flow Monitor uses your scope to determine all the resources (the topology) where Network Flow Monitor will gather network flow performance metrics for you. To provide performance metrics, Network Flow Monitor uses the data that is sent by the Network Flow Monitor agents you install on the resources. To define the Region-account pairs for your scope, the Network Flow Monitor API uses the following constucts, which allow for future flexibility in defining scopes:
  • Targets, which are arrays of targetResources.
  • Target resources, which are Region-targetIdentifier pairs.
  • Target identifiers, made up of a targetID (currently always an account ID) and a targetType (currently always an account).

Parameters

-ClientConfig <AmazonNetworkFlowMonitorConfig>
Amazon.PowerShell.Cmdlets.NFM.AmazonNetworkFlowMonitorClientCmdlet.ClientConfig
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-ClientToken <String>
A unique, case-sensitive string of up to 64 ASCII characters that you specify to make an idempotent API request. Don't reuse the same client token for other API requests.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Force <SwitchParameter>
This parameter overrides confirmation prompts to force the cmdlet to continue its operation. This parameter should always be used with caution.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-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.NetworkFlowMonitor.Model.CreateScopeResponse). Specifying the name of a property of type Amazon.NetworkFlowMonitor.Model.CreateScopeResponse 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)
-Tag <Hashtable>
The tags for a scope. You can add a maximum of 200 tags.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesTags
-Target <TargetResource[]>
The targets to define the scope to be monitored. A target is an array of targetResources, which are currently Region-account pairs, defined by targetResource constructs.
Required?True
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesTargets

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
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesAWSProfilesLocation, ProfilesLocation
-ProfileName <String>
The user-defined name of an AWS credentials or SAML-based role profile containing credential information. The profile is expected to be found in the secure credential file shared with the AWS SDK for .NET and AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio. You can also specify the name of a profile stored in the .ini-format credential file used with the AWS CLI and other AWS SDKs.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesStoredCredentials, AWSProfileName
-Region <Object>
The system name of an AWS region or an AWSRegion instance. This governs the endpoint that will be used when calling service operations. Note that the AWS resources referenced in a call are usually region-specific.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesRegionToCall
-SecretKey <String>
The AWS secret key for the user account. This can be a temporary secret key if the corresponding session token is supplied to the -SessionToken parameter.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesSK, SecretAccessKey
-SessionToken <String>
The session token if the access and secret keys are temporary session-based credentials.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)

Outputs

Amazon.NetworkFlowMonitor.Model.CreateScopeResponse
