AWS: how to get the instance status check state, not state - amazon-web-services

Question

The aws console show two columns State and Status Checks, when an instance is launching. A state of Running is not a true reflection of state because the Status Checks could fail.
Anyone have any examples of .net C# code to check the Status Check state?
The closest I have is this:
var request = new DescribeInstanceStatusRequest();
request.InstanceId = insts.Select(i => i.InstanceId).ToList();
DescribeInstanceStatusResponse response = ec2Client.DescribeInstanceStatus(request);
InstanceStatus instanceStatus = response.DescribeInstanceStatusResult.InstanceStatus[0];
Console.WriteLine("Availability zone - " + instanceStatus.AvailabilityZone);
Console.WriteLine("Instance State Code - " + instanceStatus.InstanceState.Code);
Console.WriteLine("Instance State Name - " + instanceStatus.InstanceState.Name);
foreach (InstanceStatusEvent statusEvent in instanceStatus.InstanceStatusEvent)
{
Console.WriteLine("Event Code - " + statusEvent.Code);
Console.WriteLine("Event Description - " + statusEvent.Description);
Console.WriteLine("Earliest Scheduled Start Time - " + statusEvent.NotBefore);
Console.WriteLine("Latest Scheduled End Time - " + statusEvent.NotAfter);
}
But that just gives the State, not the Status Checks.

You need to look deeper into the InstanceStatus object. The status checks are in the InstanceStatusDetail and the SystemStatusDetail properties. Here is a snippet that gets that information for you:
var status = result.InstanceStatus[0];
Console.WriteLine("Instance Status = " + status.InstanceStatusDetail.Status);
Console.WriteLine("Instance Status Detail Name = " + status.InstanceStatusDetail.Detail[0].Name);
Console.WriteLine("Instance Status Detail Status = " + status.InstanceStatusDetail.Detail[0].Status);
Console.WriteLine("System Status = " + status.SystemStatusDetail.Status);
Console.WriteLine("System Status Detail Name = " + status.SystemStatusDetail.Detail[0].Name);
Console.WriteLine("System Status Detail Status = " + status.SystemStatusDetail.Detail[0].Status);

Using Lucee (cfml) I got it like this:
<cfset var DescribeInstanceStatusRequest = CreateObject('java','com.amazonaws.services.ec2.model.DescribeInstanceStatusRequest', jarLocation).init()>
<cfset var describeInstanceStatusRequest = DescribeInstanceStatusRequest.withInstanceIds([arguments.instanceId])>
<cfset var statusresult = ec2client.describeInstanceStatus(describeInstanceStatusRequest).getInstanceStatuses()[1].getInstanceStatus().getDetails()[1].getStatus()>
this (statusresult) gives "passed" if the server has passed all checks.
note: coldfusion handles arrays differently so if for example you were translating back to java you would use [0] instead of 1.
If you only want the status: running, stopped etc
<cfset var result = ec2client.describeInstanceStatus(describeInstanceStatusRequest).getInstanceStatuses()[1].getInstanceState().getName()>
