aws ec2 describe-instance-status

Describes the status of the specified instances or all of your instances. By default, only running instances are described, unless you specifically indicate to return the status of all instances. Instance status includes the following components: Status checks - Amazon EC2 performs status checks on running EC2 instances to identify hardware and software issues. For more information, see Status checks for your instances and Troubleshooting instances with failed status checks in the Amazon EC2 User Guide. Scheduled events - Amazon EC2 can schedule events (such as reboot, stop, or terminate) for your instances related to hardware issues, software updates, or system maintenance. For more information, see Scheduled events for your instances in the Amazon EC2 User Guide. Instance state - You can manage your instances from the moment you launch them through their termination. For more information, see Instance lifecycle in the Amazon EC2 User Guide

Options

NameDescription
--filters <list>The filters. availability-zone - The Availability Zone of the instance. event.code - The code for the scheduled event (instance-reboot | system-reboot | system-maintenance | instance-retirement | instance-stop). event.description - A description of the event. event.instance-event-id - The ID of the event whose date and time you are modifying. event.not-after - The latest end time for the scheduled event (for example, 2014-09-15T17:15:20.000Z). event.not-before - The earliest start time for the scheduled event (for example, 2014-09-15T17:15:20.000Z). event.not-before-deadline - The deadline for starting the event (for example, 2014-09-15T17:15:20.000Z). instance-state-code - The code for the instance state, as a 16-bit unsigned integer. The high byte is used for internal purposes and should be ignored. The low byte is set based on the state represented. The valid values are 0 (pending), 16 (running), 32 (shutting-down), 48 (terminated), 64 (stopping), and 80 (stopped). instance-state-name - The state of the instance (pending | running | shutting-down | terminated | stopping | stopped). instance-status.reachability - Filters on instance status where the name is reachability (passed | failed | initializing | insufficient-data). instance-status.status - The status of the instance (ok | impaired | initializing | insufficient-data | not-applicable). system-status.reachability - Filters on system status where the name is reachability (passed | failed | initializing | insufficient-data). system-status.status - The system status of the instance (ok | impaired | initializing | insufficient-data | not-applicable)
--instance-ids <list> [arg...]The instance IDs. Default: Describes all your instances. Constraints: Maximum 100 explicitly specified instance IDs
--max-results <integer>The maximum number of results to return in a single call. To retrieve the remaining results, make another call with the returned NextToken value. This value can be between 5 and 1000. You cannot specify this parameter and the instance IDs parameter in the same call
--next-token <string>The token to retrieve the next page of results
--dry-runChecks whether you have the required permissions for the action, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is DryRunOperation. Otherwise, it is UnauthorizedOperation
--no-dry-runChecks whether you have the required permissions for the action, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is DryRunOperation. Otherwise, it is UnauthorizedOperation
--include-all-instancesWhen true, includes the health status for all instances. When false, includes the health status for running instances only. Default: false
--no-include-all-instancesWhen true, includes the health status for all instances. When false, includes the health status for running instances only. Default: false
--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
