I'm trying to parse JSON output from the AWS CLI. What I'm looking for are security group names with specific tags below them. The two commands that work are
$aws ec2 describe-security-groups | jq -r '.SecurityGroups[].GroupName'
default
mysqlsg
apachesg
default
Then I run
$ aws ec2 describe-security-groups | jq -r '.SecurityGroups[].Tags[]|select(.Key == "Service")'
{
"Key": "Service",
"Value": "default"
}
{
"Key": "Service",
"Value": "MySQL"
}
{
"Key": "Service",
"Value": "Apache"
}
{
"Key": "Service",
"Value": "default"
}
I'd like each group to have the Service Tag below it so I tried this but it didn't work.
$ aws ec2 describe-security-groups | jq -r '.SecurityGroups[].GroupName,.SecurityGroups[].Tags[]|select(.Key == "Service")'
jq: error (at <stdin>:225): Cannot index string with string "Key"
You can do this with aws-cli query parameters, try the below and it should work.
aws ec2 describe-security-groups --query 'SecurityGroups[].{Tags:Tags[?Key==`Name`].Value|[0],GroupName:GroupName}'
output
{
"Tags": "demo",
"GroupName": "demo"
}

I would like to fetch deregistration_delay.timeout_seconds from the output
I tried which works for this case when deregistration_delay.timeout_seconds appears on the second position.
aws elbv2 describe-target-group-attributes \
--target-group-arn arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:us-west-2:123456789012:targetgroup/my-targets/73e2d6bc24d8a067
| jq -r '.Attributes[1].Value'
but for some target groups the deregistration_delay.timeout_seconds is placed at a different number.
How can I use jq to fetch deregistration_delay.timeout_seconds
You can actually use JMESPATH in the AWS CLI without needing to use jq:
aws elbv2 describe-target-group-attributes \
--target-group-arn arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:us-west-2:123456789012:targetgroup/my-targets/73e2d6bc24d8a067 \
--query "Attributes[?Key=='deregistration_delay.timeout_seconds']|[0].Value" \
--output text
JMESPATH was created by James Saryerwinnie, one of the authors of the AWS CLI. The tutorial is well worth reading.
by using the below command i can able to get the details of my autoscaling group.
aws autoscaling describe-auto-scaling-groups --auto-scaling-group-name my-ASG --region=eu-west-1
but I need the value of a particular tag value only instead of the whole data in windows terminal. can someone help me
You can get all the tags for your ASG like the following.
aws autoscaling describe-tags --filters Name=auto-scaling-group,Values=my-asg-autoscaling --query 'Tags[].{Key: Key, Value: Value}'
Here is the result(dummy values)
[
{
"Key": "Env",
"Value": "qa"
},
{
"Key": "Function",
"Value": "as"
},
{
"Key": "Name",
"Value": "my-asg-autoscaling"
},
{
"Key": "Project",
"Value": "test"
},
{
"Key": "VPC",
"Value": "nonprod"
},
{
"Key": "monitored",
"Value": "non-prod"
}
]
If instead you want to get a particular tag e.g Function in the example, you can get it with the following query.
aws autoscaling describe-tags --filters Name=auto-scaling-group,Values=my-asg-autoscaling --query 'Tags[?Key==`Function`].Value[]'
I have a script that fetches list of instances having tag x having abc value. The count of ec2 instances returned are in hundreds, now for each instance I need to fetch 2 tag values. Not all instances will have both the tags, it could be 1 or both or none. For now I am issuing 2 calls to get the value of each tag (this is a bash shell)
market=`aws ec2 describe-tags --filters "Name=resource-id,Values=$id" "Name=key,Values=market" --query Tags[].Value --region $aws_region --output text`
service=`aws ec2 describe-tags --filters "Name=resource-id,Values=$id" "Name=key,Values=service" --query Tags[].Value --region $aws_region --output text`
Is there any way to fetch the values of both tags in a single call?
I have 4 instances like this:
i-020f43a6253e1dd25 tags:market=1
i-0a5c4b42fe3e75c15 tags:service=1
i-027ca3de0fe11f1d3 tags:market=4,service=4
i-0e77b17601f9b2fd2 tags:none
Server side filtering using --filters returns 4 matching records
% aws ec2 describe-tags --filters "Name=key,Values=market,service"
{
"Tags": [
{
"Key": "market",
"ResourceId": "i-020f43a6253e1dd25",
"ResourceType": "instance",
"Value": "1"
},
{
"Key": "market",
"ResourceId": "i-027ca3de0fe11f1d3",
"ResourceType": "instance",
"Value": "4"
},
{
"Key": "service",
"ResourceId": "i-027ca3de0fe11f1d3",
"ResourceType": "instance",
"Value": "4"
},
{
"Key": "service",
"ResourceId": "i-0a5c4b42fe3e75c15",
"ResourceType": "instance",
"Value": "1"
}
]
}
Hi I would like to pipe an instance output to start/stop ec2 instances. Here is the beginning of the code:
aws ec2 describe-instances \
--query "Reservations[*].Instances[*].{Instance:InstanceId,Subnet:SubnetId}" \
--filters "Name=tag-value,Values=<INSTANCE NAME TAG>" \
--output text | \
How do I pipe this output to AWS ec2 start-instances command in Windows?
Output format can be JSON,YAML, TEXT or Table.It depends on your requirements.
Sample command for JSON output:
$ aws iam list-users --output json
Sample output:
{
"Users": [
{
"Path": "/",
"UserName": "Admin",
"UserId": "AIDA1111111111EXAMPLE",
"Arn": "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:user/Admin",
"CreateDate": "2014-10-16T16:03:09+00:00",
"PasswordLastUsed": "2016-06-03T18:37:29+00:00"
},
{
"Path": "/backup/",
"UserName": "backup-user",
"UserId": "AIDA2222222222EXAMPLE",
"Arn": "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:user/backup/backup-user",
"CreateDate": "2019-09-17T19:30:40+00:00"
},
{
"Path": "/",
"UserName": "cli-user",
"UserId": "AIDA3333333333EXAMPLE",
"Arn": "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:user/cli-user",
"CreateDate": "2019-09-17T19:11:39+00:00"
}
]
}
Now if you want to use this output for input of another command, one easy way is to read the json file, extract the value and use that as input to other command.
Please read https://www.business.com/articles/using-powershell-with-json-data/ for some details.
I found a PowerShell solution which suits my needs better:
$InstanceId = aws ec2 describe-instances --query "Reservations[*].Instances[*].{Instance:InstanceId}" --filters "Name=tag-value,Values=<INSTANCE NAME TAG>" --output text aws ec2 start-instances --instance-ids $InstanceId
I need to get object tags by AWS CLI. Is it possible to display all object tags? Or even display the value of a specific key from tags.
You can do this with the command aws s3api get-object-tagging --bucket bucketname --key objectkey. For example
➜ ~ aws s3 ls helloworld-20181029141519-deployment
2018-11-24 07:19:11 0 hello.world
➜ ~ aws s3api get-object-tagging --bucket helloworld-20181029141519-deployment --key hello.world
{
"TagSet": [
{
"Value": "1",
"Key": "tagged"
},
{
"Value": "bar",
"Key": "foo"
}
]
}
You can use a JMESPath expression to filter the result set.
➜ ~ aws s3api get-object-tagging --bucket helloworld-20181029141519-deployment --key hello.world --query "TagSet[?Key=='foo']"
[
{
"Value": "bar",
"Key": "foo"
}
]
