list-rules

Description

Lists the Recycle Bin retention rules in the Region.

See also: AWS API Documentation

list-rules 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: Rules

Options

--resource-type (string)

The resource type retained by the retention rule. Only retention rules that retain the specified resource type are listed. Currently, only Amazon EBS snapshots and EBS-backed AMIs are supported. To list retention rules that retain snapshots, specify EBS_SNAPSHOT . To list retention rules that retain EBS-backed AMIs, specify EC2_IMAGE .

Possible values:

  • EBS_SNAPSHOT
  • EC2_IMAGE

--resource-tags (list)

[Tag-level retention rules only] Information about the resource tags used to identify resources that are retained by the retention rule.

(structure)

[Tag-level retention rules only] Information about the resource tags used to identify resources that are retained by the retention rule.

ResourceTagKey -> (string)

The tag key.

ResourceTagValue -> (string)

The tag value.

Shorthand Syntax:

ResourceTagKey=string,ResourceTagValue=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "ResourceTagKey": "string",
    "ResourceTagValue": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--lock-state (string)

The lock state of the retention rules to list. Only retention rules with the specified lock state are returned.

Possible values:

  • locked
  • pending_unlock
  • unlocked

--exclude-resource-tags (list)

[Region-level retention rules only] Information about the exclusion tags used to identify resources that are to be excluded, or ignored, by the retention rule.

(structure)

[Tag-level retention rules only] Information about the resource tags used to identify resources that are retained by the retention rule.

ResourceTagKey -> (string)

The tag key.

ResourceTagValue -> (string)

The tag value.

Shorthand Syntax:

ResourceTagKey=string,ResourceTagValue=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "ResourceTagKey": "string",
    "ResourceTagValue": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--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.

Output

Rules -> (list)

Information about the retention rules.

(structure)

Information about a Recycle Bin retention rule.

Identifier -> (string)

The unique ID of the retention rule.

Description -> (string)

The retention rule description.

RetentionPeriod -> (structure)

Information about the retention period for which the retention rule is to retain resources.

RetentionPeriodValue -> (integer)

The period value for which the retention rule is to retain resources. The period is measured using the unit specified for RetentionPeriodUnit .

RetentionPeriodUnit -> (string)

The unit of time in which the retention period is measured. Currently, only DAYS is supported.

LockState -> (string)

[Region-level retention rules only] The lock state for the retention rule.

  • locked - The retention rule is locked and can't be modified or deleted.
  • pending_unlock - The retention rule has been unlocked but it is still within the unlock delay period. The retention rule can be modified or deleted only after the unlock delay period has expired.
  • unlocked - The retention rule is unlocked and it can be modified or deleted by any user with the required permissions.
  • null - The retention rule has never been locked. Once a retention rule has been locked, it can transition between the locked and unlocked states only; it can never transition back to null .

RuleArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the retention rule.

NextToken -> (string)

The token to use to retrieve the next page of results. This value is null when there are no more results to return.
