Options¶

--window-id (string)

The ID of the maintenance window the task should be added to.

--targets (list)

The targets (either managed nodes or maintenance window targets).

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 .

Specify managed nodes using the following format:

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

Specify maintenance window targets using the following format:

Key=WindowTargetIds,Values=<window-target-id-1>,<window-target-id-2>

(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", ...]

--task-arn (string)

The ARN of the task to run.

--service-role-arn (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM service role for Amazon Web Services Systems Manager to assume when running a maintenance window task. If you do not specify a service role ARN, Systems Manager uses a service-linked role in your account. If no appropriate service-linked role for Systems Manager exists in your account, it is created when you run RegisterTaskWithMaintenanceWindow .

However, for an improved security posture, we strongly recommend creating a custom policy and custom service role for running your maintenance window tasks. The policy can be crafted to provide only the permissions needed for your particular maintenance window tasks. For more information, see Setting up Maintenance Windows in the in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide .

--task-type (string)

The type of task being registered.

Possible values:

RUN_COMMAND

AUTOMATION

STEP_FUNCTIONS

Enables Systems Manager to send command output to CloudWatch Logs.

DocumentHash -> (string)

The SHA-256 or SHA-1 hash created by the system when the document was created. SHA-1 hashes have been deprecated.

If you run commands by using the Amazon Web Services CLI, then you must escape the first two options by using a backslash. If you specify a version number, then you don't need to use the backslash. For example:

--document-version "\$DEFAULT"

--document-version "\$LATEST"

--document-version "3"

NotificationConfig -> (structure)

If you do not specify a service role ARN, Systems Manager uses a service-linked role in your account. If no appropriate service-linked role for Systems Manager exists in your account, it is created when you run RegisterTaskWithMaintenanceWindow .

However, for an improved security posture, we strongly recommend creating a custom policy and custom service role for running your maintenance window tasks. The policy can be crafted to provide only the permissions needed for your particular maintenance window tasks. For more information, see Setting up Maintenance Windows in the in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide .

To specify an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket to contain logs, instead use the OutputS3BucketName and OutputS3KeyPrefix options in the TaskInvocationParameters structure. For information about how Amazon Web Services Systems Manager handles these options for the supported maintenance window task types, see MaintenanceWindowTaskInvocationParameters .

TaskParameters has been deprecated. To specify parameters to pass to a task when it runs, instead use the Parameters option in the TaskInvocationParameters structure.

The maximum number of targets this task can be run for, in parallel.

Note
Although this element is listed as "Required: No", a value can be omitted only when you are registering or updating a targetless task You must provide a value in all other cases.

CANCEL_TASK :

For Automation, Lambda, Step Functions tasks: When the cutoff time is reached, any task invocations that are already running continue, but no new task invocations are started.

For Run Command tasks: When the cutoff time is reached, the system sends a CancelCommand operation that attempts to cancel the command associated with the task. However, there is no guarantee that the command will be terminated and the underlying process stopped.

The status for tasks that are not completed is TIMED_OUT .

Possible values:

CONTINUE_TASK

CANCEL_TASK

--alarm-configuration (structure)

The CloudWatch alarm you want to apply to your maintenance window task.

--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.
