list-core-devices

Description

Retrieves a paginated list of Greengrass core devices.

Note

IoT Greengrass relies on individual devices to send status updates to the Amazon Web Services Cloud. If the IoT Greengrass Core software isn't running on the device, or if device isn't connected to the Amazon Web Services Cloud, then the reported status of that device might not reflect its current status. The status timestamp indicates when the device status was last updated.

Core devices send status updates at the following times:

  • When the IoT Greengrass Core software starts
  • When the core device receives a deployment from the Amazon Web Services Cloud
  • For Greengrass nucleus 2.12.2 and earlier, the core device sends status updates when the status of any component on the core device becomes ERRORED or BROKEN .
  • For Greengrass nucleus 2.12.3 and later, the core device sends status updates when the status of any component on the core device becomes ERRORED , BROKEN , RUNNING , or FINISHED .
  • At a regular interval that you can configure , which defaults to 24 hours
  • For IoT Greengrass Core v2.7.0, the core device sends status updates upon local deployment and cloud deployment

See also: AWS API Documentation

list-core-devices 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: coreDevices

Options

--thing-group-arn (string)

The ARN of the IoT thing group by which to filter. If you specify this parameter, the list includes only core devices that have successfully deployed a deployment that targets the thing group. When you remove a core device from a thing group, the list continues to include that core device.

--status (string)

The core device status by which to filter. If you specify this parameter, the list includes only core devices that have this status. Choose one of the following options:

  • HEALTHY – The IoT Greengrass Core software and all components run on the core device without issue.
  • UNHEALTHY – The IoT Greengrass Core software or a component is in a failed state on the core device.

Possible values:

  • HEALTHY
  • UNHEALTHY

--runtime (string)

The runtime to be used by the core device. The runtime can be:

  • aws_nucleus_classic
  • aws_nucleus_lite

--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.

Examples

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal's quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

To list core devices

The following list-core-devices example lists the AWS IoT Greengrass core devices in your AWS account in the current Region.

aws greengrassv2 list-core-devices

Output:

{
    "coreDevices": [
        {
            "coreDeviceThingName": "MyGreengrassCore",
            "status": "HEALTHY",
            "lastStatusUpdateTimestamp": "2021-01-08T04:57:58.838000-08:00"
        }
    ]
}

For more information, see Check core device status in the AWS IoT Greengrass V2 Developer Guide.
