# Use `GetGroups` with an AWS SDK or CLI
<a name="xray_example_xray_GetGroups_section"></a>

The following code examples show how to use `GetGroups`.

------
#### [ CLI ]

**AWS CLI**  
**To retrieve all groups**  
The following example displays details for all active group.  

```
aws xray get-groups
```
Output:  

```
{
    "Groups": [
        {
            "GroupName": "AdminGroup",
            "GroupARN": "arn:aws:xray:us-west-2:123456789012:group/AdminGroup/123456789",
            "FilterExpression": "service(\"example.com\") {fault OR error}"
        },
        {
            "GroupName": "SDETGroup",
            "GroupARN": "arn:aws:xray:us-west-2:123456789012:group/SDETGroup/987654321",
            "FilterExpression": "responsetime > 2"
        }
    ]
}
```
