Options

--window-id (string)

The ID of the maintenance window the target should be registered with.

--resource-type (string)

The type of target being registered with the maintenance window.

Possible values:

  • INSTANCE
  • RESOURCE_GROUP

--targets (list)

The targets to register with the maintenance window. In other words, the managed nodes to run commands on when the maintenance window runs.

Note

If a single maintenance window task is registered with multiple targets, its task invocations occur sequentially and not in parallel. If your task must run on multiple targets at the same time, register a task for each target individually and assign each task the same priority level.

You can specify targets using managed node IDs, resource group names, or tags that have been applied to managed nodes.

Example 1 : Specify managed node IDs

Key=InstanceIds,Values=<instance-id-1>,<instance-id-2>,<instance-id-3>

Example 2 : Use tag key-pairs applied to managed nodes

Key=tag:<my-tag-key>,Values=<my-tag-value-1>,<my-tag-value-2>

Example 3 : Use tag-keys applied to managed nodes

Key=tag-key,Values=<my-tag-key-1>,<my-tag-key-2>

Example 4 : Use resource group names

Key=resource-groups:Name,Values=<resource-group-name>

Example 5 : Use filters for resource group types

Key=resource-groups:ResourceTypeFilters,Values=<resource-type-1>,<resource-type-2>

Note

For Key=resource-groups:ResourceTypeFilters , specify resource types in the following format

Key=resource-groups:ResourceTypeFilters,Values=AWS::EC2::INSTANCE,AWS::EC2::VPC

For more information about these examples formats, including the best use case for each one, see Examples: Register targets with a maintenance window in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide .

(structure)

An array of search criteria that targets managed nodes using a key-value pair that you specify.

Note

One or more targets must be specified for maintenance window Run Command-type tasks. Depending on the task, targets are optional for other maintenance window task types (Automation, Lambda, and Step Functions). For more information about running tasks that don't specify targets, see Registering maintenance window tasks without targets in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide .

Supported formats include the following.

For all Systems Manager capabilities:
  • Key=tag-key,Values=tag-value-1,tag-value-2
For Automation and Change Manager:
  • Key=tag:tag-key,Values=tag-value
  • Key=ResourceGroup,Values=resource-group-name
  • Key=ParameterValues,Values=value-1,value-2,value-3
  • To target all instances in the Amazon Web Services Region:
    • Key=AWS::EC2::Instance,Values=*
    • Key=InstanceIds,Values=*
For Run Command and Maintenance Windows:
  • Key=InstanceIds,Values=instance-id-1,instance-id-2,instance-id-3
  • Key=tag:tag-key,Values=tag-value-1,tag-value-2
  • Key=resource-groups:Name,Values=resource-group-name
  • Additionally, Maintenance Windows support targeting resource types:
    • Key=resource-groups:ResourceTypeFilters,Values=resource-type-1,resource-type-2
For State Manager:
  • Key=InstanceIds,Values=instance-id-1,instance-id-2,instance-id-3
  • Key=tag:tag-key,Values=tag-value-1,tag-value-2
  • To target all instances in the Amazon Web Services Region:
    • Key=InstanceIds,Values=*

For more information about how to send commands that target managed nodes using Key,Value parameters, see Targeting multiple managed nodes in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide .

Key -> (string)

User-defined criteria for sending commands that target managed nodes that meet the criteria.

Values -> (list)

User-defined criteria that maps to Key . For example, if you specified tag:ServerRole , you could specify value:WebServer to run a command on instances that include EC2 tags of ServerRole,WebServer .

Depending on the type of target, the maximum number of values for a key might be lower than the global maximum of 50.

(string)

Shorthand Syntax:

Key=string,Values=string,string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Key": "string",
    "Values": ["string", ...]
  }
  ...
]

--owner-information (string)

User-provided value that will be included in any Amazon CloudWatch Events events raised while running tasks for these targets in this maintenance window.

--name (string)

An optional name for the target.

--description (string)

An optional description for the target.

--client-token (string)

User-provided idempotency token.

--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.

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 .

Example 1: To register a single target with a maintenance window

The following register-target-with-maintenance-window example registers an instance with a maintenance window.

aws ssm register-target-with-maintenance-window \
    --window-id "mw-ab12cd34ef56gh78" \
    --target "Key=InstanceIds,Values=i-0000293ffd8c57862" \
