list-jobs

Description

Returns a list of Batch jobs.

You must specify only one of the following items:

  • A job queue ID to return a list of jobs in that job queue
  • A multi-node parallel job ID to return a list of nodes for that job
  • An array job ID to return a list of the children for that job

You can filter the results by job status with the jobStatus parameter. If you don't specify a status, only RUNNING jobs are returned.

See also: AWS API Documentation

list-jobs 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: jobSummaryList

Options

--job-queue (string)

The name or full Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the job queue used to list jobs.

--array-job-id (string)

The job ID for an array job. Specifying an array job ID with this parameter lists all child jobs from within the specified array.

--multi-node-job-id (string)

The job ID for a multi-node parallel job. Specifying a multi-node parallel job ID with this parameter lists all nodes that are associated with the specified job.

--job-status (string)

The job status used to filter jobs in the specified queue. If the filters parameter is specified, the jobStatus parameter is ignored and jobs with any status are returned. If you don't specify a status, only RUNNING jobs are returned.

Possible values:

  • SUBMITTED
  • PENDING
  • RUNNABLE
  • STARTING
  • RUNNING
  • SUCCEEDED
  • FAILED

--filters (list)

The filter to apply to the query. Only one filter can be used at a time. When the filter is used, jobStatus is ignored. The filter doesn't apply to child jobs in an array or multi-node parallel (MNP) jobs. The results are sorted by the createdAt field, with the most recent jobs being first.

JOB_NAME

The value of the filter is a case-insensitive match for the job name. If the value ends with an asterisk (*), the filter matches any job name that begins with the string before the '*'. This corresponds to the jobName value. For example, test1 matches both Test1 and test1 , and test1* matches both test1 and Test10 . When the JOB_NAME filter is used, the results are grouped by the job name and version.

JOB_DEFINITION

The value for the filter is the name or Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the job definition. This corresponds to the jobDefinition value. The value is case sensitive. When the value for the filter is the job definition name, the results include all the jobs that used any revision of that job definition name. If the value ends with an asterisk (*), the filter matches any job definition name that begins with the string before the '*'. For example, jd1 matches only jd1 , and jd1* matches both jd1 and jd1A . The version of the job definition that's used doesn't affect the sort order. When the JOB_DEFINITION filter is used and the ARN is used (which is in the form arn:${Partition}:batch:${Region}:${Account}:job-definition/${JobDefinitionName}:${Revision} ), the results include jobs that used the specified revision of the job definition. Asterisk (*) isn't supported when the ARN is used.

BEFORE_CREATED_AT

The value for the filter is the time that's before the job was created. This corresponds to the createdAt value. The value is a string representation of the number of milliseconds since 00:00:00 UTC (midnight) on January 1, 1970.

AFTER_CREATED_AT

The value for the filter is the time that's after the job was created. This corresponds to the createdAt value. The value is a string representation of the number of milliseconds since 00:00:00 UTC (midnight) on January 1, 1970.

(structure)

A filter name and value pair that's used to return a more specific list of results from a ListJobs API operation.

name -> (string)

The name of the filter. Filter names are case sensitive.

values -> (list)

The filter values.

(string)

Shorthand Syntax:

name=string,values=string,string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "name": "string",
    "values": ["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.

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 .

To list running jobs

This example lists the running jobs in the HighPriority job queue.

Command:

aws batch list-jobs --job-queue HighPriority

Output:

{
    "jobSummaryList": [
        {
            "jobName": "example",
            "jobId": "e66ff5fd-a1ff-4640-b1a2-0b0a142f49bb"
        }
    ]
}

To list submitted jobs

This example lists jobs in the HighPriority job queue that are in the SUBMITTED job status.

Command:

aws batch list-jobs --job-queue HighPriority --job-status SUBMITTED

Output:

{
    "jobSummaryList": [
        {
            "jobName": "example",
            "jobId": "68f0c163-fbd4-44e6-9fd1-25b14a434786"
