# aws_step_function{% #aws_step_function %}

## `account_id`{% #account_id %}

**Type**: `STRING`

## `creation_date`{% #creation_date %}

**Type**: `TIMESTAMP`**Provider name**: `creationDate`**Description**: The date the state machine is created. For a state machine version, `creationDate` is the date the version was created.

## `definition`{% #definition %}

**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `definition`**Description**: The Amazon States Language definition of the state machine. See [Amazon States Language](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/step-functions/latest/dg/concepts-amazon-states-language.html). If called with `includedData = METADATA_ONLY`, the returned definition will be `{}`.

## `description`{% #description %}

**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `description`**Description**: The description of the state machine version.

## `encryption_configuration`{% #encryption_configuration %}

**Type**: `STRUCT`**Provider name**: `encryptionConfiguration`**Description**: Settings to configure server-side encryption.

- `kms_data_key_reuse_period_seconds`**Type**: `INT32`**Provider name**: `kmsDataKeyReusePeriodSeconds`**Description**: Maximum duration that Step Functions will reuse data keys. When the period expires, Step Functions will call `GenerateDataKey`. Only applies to customer managed keys.
- `kms_key_id`**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `kmsKeyId`**Description**: An alias, alias ARN, key ID, or key ARN of a symmetric encryption KMS key to encrypt data. To specify a KMS key in a different Amazon Web Services account, you must use the key ARN or alias ARN.
- `type`**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `type`**Description**: Encryption type

## `label`{% #label %}

**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `label`**Description**: A user-defined or an auto-generated string that identifies a `Map` state. This parameter is present only if the `stateMachineArn` specified in input is a qualified state machine ARN.

## `logging_configuration`{% #logging_configuration %}

**Type**: `STRUCT`**Provider name**: `loggingConfiguration`

- `destinations`**Type**: `UNORDERED_LIST_STRUCT`**Provider name**: `destinations`**Description**: An array of objects that describes where your execution history events will be logged. Limited to size 1. Required, if your log level is not set to `OFF`.
  - `cloud_watch_logs_log_group`**Type**: `STRUCT`**Provider name**: `cloudWatchLogsLogGroup`**Description**: An object describing a CloudWatch log group. For more information, see [AWS::Logs::LogGroup](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-logs-loggroup.html) in the CloudFormation User Guide.
    - `log_group_arn`**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `logGroupArn`**Description**: The ARN of the the CloudWatch log group to which you want your logs emitted to. The ARN must end with `:*`
- `include_execution_data`**Type**: `BOOLEAN`**Provider name**: `includeExecutionData`**Description**: Determines whether execution data is included in your log. When set to `false`, data is excluded.
- `level`**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `level`**Description**: Defines which category of execution history events are logged.

## `name`{% #name %}

**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `name`**Description**: The name of the state machine. A name must not contain:

- white space
- brackets `< > { } [ ]`
- wildcard characters `? *`
- special characters `" # % \ ^ | ~ ` $ & , ; : /`
- control characters (`U+0000-001F`, `U+007F-009F`)
To enable logging with CloudWatch Logs, the name should only contain 0-9, A-Z, a-z, - and _.


## `revision_id`{% #revision_id %}

**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `revisionId`**Description**: The revision identifier for the state machine. Use the `revisionId` parameter to compare between versions of a state machine configuration used for executions without performing a diff of the properties, such as `definition` and `roleArn`.

## `role_arn`{% #role_arn %}

**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `roleArn`**Description**: The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM role used when creating this state machine. (The IAM role maintains security by granting Step Functions access to Amazon Web Services resources.)

## `state_machine_arn`{% #state_machine_arn %}

**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `stateMachineArn`**Description**: The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that identifies the state machine. If you specified a state machine version ARN in your request, the API returns the version ARN. The version ARN is a combination of state machine ARN and the version number separated by a colon (:). For example, `stateMachineARN:1`.

## `status`{% #status %}

**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `status`**Description**: The current status of the state machine.

## `tags`{% #tags %}

**Type**: `UNORDERED_LIST_STRING`

## `tracing_configuration`{% #tracing_configuration %}

**Type**: `STRUCT`**Provider name**: `tracingConfiguration`**Description**: Selects whether X-Ray tracing is enabled.

- `enabled`**Type**: `BOOLEAN`**Provider name**: `enabled`**Description**: When set to `true`, X-Ray tracing is enabled.

## `type`{% #type %}

**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `type`**Description**: The `type` of the state machine (`STANDARD` or `EXPRESS`).

## `variable_references`{% #variable_references %}

**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `variableReferences`**Description**: A map of state name to a list of variables referenced by that state. States that do not use variable references will not be shown in the response.
