aws gamelift describe-instances
Retrieves information about a fleet's instances, including instance IDs, connection data, and status. This operation can be used in the following ways: To get information on all instances that are deployed to a fleet's home Region, provide the fleet ID. To get information on all instances that are deployed to a fleet's remote location, provide the fleet ID and location name. To get information on a specific instance in a fleet, provide the fleet ID and instance ID. Use the pagination parameters to retrieve results as a set of sequential pages. If successful, an Instance object is returned for each requested instance. Instances are not returned in any particular order.

Options
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
--fleet-id <string> | A unique identifier for the fleet to retrieve instance information for. You can use either the fleet ID or ARN value |
--instance-id <string> | A unique identifier for an instance to retrieve. Specify an instance ID or leave blank to retrieve all instances in the fleet |
--limit <integer> | The maximum number of results to return. Use this parameter with NextToken to get results as a set of sequential pages |
--next-token <string> | A token that indicates the start of the next sequential page of results. Use the token that is returned with a previous call to this operation. To start at the beginning of the result set, do not specify a value |
--location <string> | The name of a location to retrieve instance information for, in the form of an AWS Region code such as us-west-2 |
--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 |
