list-service-dependents

Description

Returns the list of dependents that invoked the specified service during the provided time range. Dependents include other services, CloudWatch Synthetics canaries, and clients that are instrumented with CloudWatch RUM app monitors.

See also: AWS API Documentation

list-service-dependents 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: ServiceDependents

Options

--start-time (timestamp)

The start of the time period to retrieve information about. When used in a raw HTTP Query API, it is formatted as be epoch time in seconds. For example: 1698778057

Your requested start time will be rounded to the nearest hour.

--end-time (timestamp)

The end of the time period to retrieve information about. When used in a raw HTTP Query API, it is formatted as be epoch time in seconds. For example: 1698778057

Your requested start time will be rounded to the nearest hour.

--key-attributes (map)

Use this field to specify which service you want to retrieve information for. You must specify at least the Type , Name , and Environment attributes.

This is a string-to-string map. It can include the following fields.

  • Type designates the type of object this is.
  • ResourceType specifies the type of the resource. This field is used only when the value of the Type field is Resource or AWS::Resource .
  • Name specifies the name of the object. This is used only if the value of the Type field is Service , RemoteService , or AWS::Service .
  • Identifier identifies the resource objects of this resource. This is used only if the value of the Type field is Resource or AWS::Resource .
  • Environment specifies the location where this object is hosted, or what it belongs to.

Shorthand Syntax:

KeyName1=string,KeyName2=string

JSON Syntax:

{"string": "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.

--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. 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.

Output

StartTime -> (timestamp)

The start of the time period that the returned information applies to. When used in a raw HTTP Query API, it is formatted as be epoch time in seconds. For example: 1698778057

This displays the time that Application Signals used for the request. It might not match your request exactly, because it was rounded to the nearest hour.

EndTime -> (timestamp)

The end of the time period that the returned information applies to. When used in a raw HTTP Query API, it is formatted as be epoch time in seconds. For example: 1698778057

This displays the time that Application Signals used for the request. It might not match your request exactly, because it was rounded to the nearest hour.

ServiceDependents -> (list)

An array, where each object in the array contains information about one of the dependents of this service.

(structure)

This structure contains information about a service dependent that was discovered by Application Signals. A dependent is an entity that invoked the specified service during the provided time range. Dependents include other services, CloudWatch Synthetics canaries, and clients that are instrumented with CloudWatch RUM app monitors.

OperationName -> (string)

If the invoked entity is an operation on an entity, the name of that dependent operation is displayed here.

DependentKeyAttributes -> (map)

This is a string-to-string map. It can include the following fields.

  • Type designates the type of object this is.
  • ResourceType specifies the type of the resource. This field is used only when the value of the Type field is Resource or AWS::Resource .
  • Name specifies the name of the object. This is used only if the value of the Type field is Service , RemoteService , or AWS::Service .
  • Identifier identifies the resource objects of this resource. This is used only if the value of the Type field is Resource or AWS::Resource .
  • Environment specifies the location where this object is hosted, or what it belongs to.

key -> (string)

value -> (string)

DependentOperationName -> (string)

If the dependent invoker was a service that invoked it from an operation, the name of that dependent operation is displayed here.

MetricReferences -> (list)

An array of structures that each contain information about one metric associated with this service dependent that was discovered by Application Signals.

(structure)

This structure contains information about one CloudWatch metric associated with this entity discovered by Application Signals.

Namespace -> (string)

The namespace of the metric. For more information, see CloudWatchNamespaces .

MetricType -> (string)

Used to display the appropriate statistics in the CloudWatch console.

Dimensions -> (list)

An array of one or more dimensions that further define the metric. For more information, see CloudWatchDimensions .

(structure)

A dimension is a name/value pair that is part of the identity of a metric. Because dimensions are part of the unique identifier for a metric, whenever you add a unique name/value pair to one of your metrics, you are creating a new variation of that metric. For example, many Amazon EC2 metrics publish InstanceId as a dimension name, and the actual instance ID as the value for that dimension.

You can assign up to 30 dimensions to a metric.

Name -> (string)

The name of the dimension. Dimension names must contain only ASCII characters, must include at least one non-whitespace character, and cannot start with a colon (: ). ASCII control characters are not supported as part of dimension names.

Value -> (string)

The value of the dimension. Dimension values must contain only ASCII characters and must include at least one non-whitespace character. ASCII control characters are not supported as part of dimension values.

MetricName -> (string)

The name of the metric.

NextToken -> (string)

Include this value in your next use of this API to get next set of service dependents.
