instanceId

string

List commands issued against this managed node ID.

filters

[object]

One or more filters to return a more specific list of results.

key [required]

string

The name of the filter. The ExecutionStage filter can't be used with the ListCommandInvocations operation, only with ListCommands.

value [required]

string

The filter value. Valid values for each filter key are as follows:

  • InvokedAfter: Specify a timestamp to limit your results. For example, specify 2021-07-07T00:00:00Z to see a list of command executions occurring July 7, 2021, and later.
  • InvokedBefore: Specify a timestamp to limit your results. For example, specify 2021-07-07T00:00:00Z to see a list of command executions from before July 7, 2021.
  • Status: Specify a valid command status to see a list of all command executions with that status. The status choices depend on the API you call. The status values you can specify for ListCommands are:
    • Pending
    • InProgress
    • Success
    • Cancelled
    • Failed
    • TimedOut (this includes both Delivery and Execution time outs)
    • AccessDenied

Field

Type

Description

commands

[object]

(Optional) The list of commands requested by the user.

CommandId

string

A unique identifier for this command.

DocumentName

string

The name of the document requested for execution.

DocumentVersion

string

The Systems Manager document (SSM document) version.

Comment

string

User-specified information about the command, such as a brief description of what the command should do.

ExpiresAfter

date-time

If a command expires, it changes status to DeliveryTimedOut for all invocations that have the status InProgress, Pending, or Delayed. ExpiresAfter is calculated based on the total timeout for the overall command. For more information, see Understanding command timeout values in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide.

Parameters

object

The parameter values to be inserted in the document when running the command.

InstanceIds

[string]

The managed node IDs against which this command was requested.

Targets

[object]

An array of search criteria that targets managed nodes using a Key,Value combination that you specify. Targets is required if you don't provide one or more managed node IDs in the call.

Key

string

User-defined criteria for sending commands that target managed nodes that meet the criteria.

Values

[string]

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.

RequestedDateTime

date-time

The date and time the command was requested.

Status

string

The status of the command.

StatusDetails

string

A detailed status of the command execution. StatusDetails includes more information than Status because it includes states resulting from error and concurrency control parameters. StatusDetails can show different results than Status. For more information about these statuses, see Understanding command statuses in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide. StatusDetails can be one of the following values:

  • Pending: The command hasn't been sent to any managed nodes.
  • In Progress: The command has been sent to at least one managed node but hasn't reached a final state on all managed nodes.
  • Success: The command successfully ran on all invocations. This is a terminal state.
  • Delivery Timed Out: The value of MaxErrors or more command invocations shows a status of Delivery Timed Out. This is a terminal state.
  • Execution Timed Out: The value of MaxErrors or more command invocations shows a status of Execution Timed Out. This is a terminal state.
  • Failed: The value of MaxErrors or more command invocations shows a status of Failed. This is a terminal state.
  • Incomplete: The command was attempted on all managed nodes and one or more invocations doesn't have a value of Success but not enough invocations failed for the status to be Failed. This is a terminal state.
  • Cancelled: The command was terminated before it was completed. This is a terminal state.
  • Rate Exceeded: The number of managed nodes targeted by the command exceeded the account limit for pending invocations. The system has canceled the command before running it on any managed node. This is a terminal state.

OutputS3Region

string

(Deprecated) You can no longer specify this parameter. The system ignores it. Instead, Systems Manager automatically determines the Amazon Web Services Region of the S3 bucket.

OutputS3BucketName

string

The S3 bucket where the responses to the command executions should be stored. This was requested when issuing the command.

OutputS3KeyPrefix

string

The S3 directory path inside the bucket where the responses to the command executions should be stored. This was requested when issuing the command.

MaxConcurrency

string

The maximum number of managed nodes that are allowed to run the command at the same time. You can specify a number of managed nodes, such as 10, or a percentage of nodes, such as 10%. The default value is 50. For more information about how to use MaxConcurrency, see Amazon Web Services Systems Manager Run Command in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide.

MaxErrors

string

The maximum number of errors allowed before the system stops sending the command to additional targets. You can specify a number of errors, such as 10, or a percentage or errors, such as 10%. The default value is 0. For more information about how to use MaxErrors, see Amazon Web Services Systems Manager Run Command in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide.

TargetCount

number

The number of targets for the command.

CompletedCount

number

The number of targets for which the command invocation reached a terminal state. Terminal states include the following: Success, Failed, Execution Timed Out, Delivery Timed Out, Cancelled, Terminated, or Undeliverable.

Amazon CloudWatch Logs information where you want Amazon Web Services Systems Manager to send the command output.

CloudWatchLogGroupName
