AWS Health examples using AWS CLI - AWS Command Line Interface
Actions

This documentation is for Version 1 of the AWS CLI only. For documentation related to Version 2 of the AWS CLI, see the Version 2 User Guide.

AWS Health examples using AWS CLI

The following code examples show you how to perform actions and implement common scenarios by using the AWS Command Line Interface with AWS Health.

Actions are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. While actions show you how to call individual service functions, you can see actions in context in their related scenarios.

Each example includes a link to the complete source code, where you can find instructions on how to set up and run the code in context.

The following code example shows how to use describe-affected-entities.

AWS CLI

To list the entities that are affected by a specified AWS Health event

The following describe-affected-entities example lists the entities that are affected by the specified AWS Health event. This event is a billing notification for the AWS account.

aws health describe-affected-entities \
    --filter "eventArns=arn:aws:health:global::event/BILLING/AWS_BILLING_NOTIFICATION/AWS_BILLING_NOTIFICATION_6ce1d874-e995-40e2-99cd-EXAMPLE11145" \
    --region us-east-1

Output:

{
    "entities": [
        {
            "entityArn": "arn:aws:health:global:123456789012:entity/EXAMPLEimSMoULmWHpb",
            "eventArn": "arn:aws:health:global::event/BILLING/AWS_BILLING_NOTIFICATION/AWS_BILLING_NOTIFICATION_6ce1d874-e995-40e2-99cd-EXAMPLE11145",

            "awsAccountId": "123456789012",
            "lastUpdatedTime": 1588356454.08
        }
    ]
}

The following code example shows how to use describe-event-details.

AWS CLI

To list information about an AWS Health event

The following describe-event-details example lists information about the specified AWS Health event.

aws health describe-event-details \
    --event-arns "arn:aws:health:us-east-1::event/EC2/AWS_EC2_OPERATIONAL_ISSUE/AWS_EC2_OPERATIONAL_ISSUE_VKTXI_EXAMPLE111" \
