Synopsis

Calls the AWS CloudFormation DescribeEvents API operation.

Syntax

Get-CFNCFNOperationEvent
-StackName <String>
-ChangeSetName <String>
-Filters_FailedEvent <Boolean>
-OperationId <String>
-NextToken <String>
-Select <String>
-NoAutoIteration <SwitchParameter>
-ClientConfig <AmazonCloudFormationConfig>

Description

Returns CloudFormation events based on flexible query criteria. Groups events by operation ID, enabling you to focus on individual stack operations during deployment. An operation is any action performed on a stack, including stack lifecycle actions (Create, Update, Delete, Rollback), change set creation, nested stack creation, and automatic rollbacks triggered by failures. Each operation has a unique identifier (Operation ID) and represents a discrete change attempt on the stack. Returns different types of events including:
  • Progress events - Status updates during stack operation execution.
  • Validation errors - Failures from CloudFormation Early Validations.
  • Provisioning errors - Resource creation and update failures.
  • Hook invocation errors - Failures from CloudFormation Hook during stack operations.
One of ChangeSetName, OperationId or StackName must be specified as input.

This cmdlet automatically pages all available results to the pipeline - parameters related to iteration are only needed if you want to manually control the paginated output. To disable autopagination, use -NoAutoIteration.

Parameters

-ChangeSetName <String>
The name or Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the change set for which you want to retrieve events.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-ClientConfig <AmazonCloudFormationConfig>
Amazon.PowerShell.Cmdlets.CFN.AmazonCloudFormationClientCmdlet.ClientConfig
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Filters_FailedEvent <Boolean>
When set to true, only returns failed events within the operation. This helps quickly identify root causes for a failed operation.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesFilters_FailedEvents
-NextToken <String>
The token for the next set of items to return. (You received this token from a previous call.)
Note: This parameter is only used if you are manually controlling output pagination of the service API call.
'NextToken' is only returned by the cmdlet when '-Select *' is specified. In order to manually control output pagination, set '-NextToken' to null for the first call then set the 'NextToken' using the same property output from the previous call for subsequent calls.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-NoAutoIteration <SwitchParameter>
By default the cmdlet will auto-iterate and retrieve all results to the pipeline by performing multiple service calls. If set, the cmdlet will retrieve only the next 'page' of results using the value of NextToken as the start point.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-OperationId <String>
The unique identifier of the operation for which you want to retrieve events.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Select <String>
Use the -Select parameter to control the cmdlet output. The default value is 'OperationEvents'. Specifying -Select '*' will result in the cmdlet returning the whole service response (Amazon.CloudFormation.Model.DescribeEventsResponse). Specifying the name of a property of type Amazon.CloudFormation.Model.DescribeEventsResponse 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)
-StackName <String>
The name or unique stack ID for which you want to retrieve events.
Required?False
Position?1
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, 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
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.CloudFormation.Model.OperationEvent or Amazon.CloudFormation.Model.DescribeEventsResponse
This cmdlet returns a collection of Amazon.CloudFormation.Model.OperationEvent objects. The service call response (type Amazon.CloudFormation.Model.DescribeEventsResponse) can be returned by specifying '-Select *'.
