Options

--execution-preview-id (string)

The ID of the existing execution preview.

--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.

--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

ExecutionPreviewId -> (string)

The generated ID for the existing execution preview.

EndedAt -> (timestamp)

A UTC timestamp indicating when the execution preview operation ended.

Status -> (string)

The current status of the execution preview operation.

StatusMessage -> (string)

Supplemental information about the current status of the execution preview.

ExecutionPreview -> (tagged union structure)

Information about the changes that would be made if an execution were run.

Note

This is a Tagged Union structure. Only one of the following top level keys can be set: Automation.

Automation -> (structure)

Information about the changes that would be made if an Automation workflow were run.

StepPreviews -> (map)

Information about the type of impact a runbook step would have on a resource.

  • Mutating : The runbook step would make changes to the targets through actions that create, modify, or delete resources.
  • Non_Mutating : The runbook step would retrieve data about resources but not make changes to them. This category generally includes Describe* , List* , Get* , and similar read-only API actions.
  • Undetermined : An undetermined step invokes executions performed by another orchestration service like Lambda, Step Functions, or Amazon Web Services Systems Manager Run Command. An undetermined step might also call a third-party API. Systems Manager Automation doesn't know the outcome of the orchestration processes or third-party API executions, so the results of the steps are undetermined.

key -> (string)

value -> (integer)

Regions -> (list)

Information about the Amazon Web Services Regions targeted by the execution preview.

(string)

TargetPreviews -> (list)

Information that provides a preview of what the impact of running the specified Automation runbook would be.

(structure)

Information about the resources that would be included in the actual runbook execution, if it were to be run.

Count -> (integer)

The number of resources of a certain type included in an execution preview.

TargetType -> (string)

A type of resource that was included in the execution preview.

TotalAccounts -> (integer)

Information about the Amazon Web Services accounts that were included in the execution preview.
