get-recommendation-preferences

Description

Returns existing recommendation preferences, such as enhanced infrastructure metrics.

Use the scope parameter to specify which preferences to return. You can specify to return preferences for an organization, a specific account ID, or a specific EC2 instance or Auto Scaling group Amazon Resource Name (ARN).

For more information, see Activating enhanced infrastructure metrics in the Compute Optimizer User Guide .

See also: AWS API Documentation

get-recommendation-preferences 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: recommendationPreferencesDetails

Options

--resource-type (string)

The target resource type of the recommendation preference for which to return preferences.

The Ec2Instance option encompasses standalone instances and instances that are part of Auto Scaling groups. The AutoScalingGroup option encompasses only instances that are part of an Auto Scaling group.

Possible values:

  • Ec2Instance
  • AutoScalingGroup
  • EbsVolume
  • LambdaFunction
  • NotApplicable
  • EcsService
  • License
  • RdsDBInstance
  • Idle

--scope (structure)

An object that describes the scope of the recommendation preference to return.

You can return recommendation preferences that are created at the organization level (for management accounts of an organization only), account level, and resource level. For more information, see Activating enhanced infrastructure metrics in the Compute Optimizer User Guide .

name -> (string)

The name of the scope.

The following scopes are possible:

  • Organization - Specifies that the recommendation preference applies at the organization level, for all member accounts of an organization.
  • AccountId - Specifies that the recommendation preference applies at the account level, for all resources of a given resource type in an account.
  • ResourceArn - Specifies that the recommendation preference applies at the individual resource level.

value -> (string)

The value of the scope.

If you specified the name of the scope as:

  • Organization - The value must be ALL_ACCOUNTS .
  • AccountId - The value must be a 12-digit Amazon Web Services account ID.
  • ResourceArn - The value must be the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an EC2 instance or an Auto Scaling group.

Only EC2 instance and Auto Scaling group ARNs are currently supported.

Shorthand Syntax:

name=string,value=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "name": "Organization"|"AccountId"|"ResourceArn",
  "value": "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.
