Amazon Health examples using Amazon CLI

The following code examples show you how to perform actions and implement common scenarios by using the Amazon Command Line Interface with Amazon Health.

Actions are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. While actions show you how to call individual service functions, you can see actions in context in their related scenarios.

Each example includes a link to the complete source code, where you can find instructions on how to set up and run the code in context.

The following code example shows how to use describe-affected-entities.

Amazon CLI

To list the entities that are affected by a specified Amazon Health event

The following describe-affected-entities example lists the entities that are affected by the specified Amazon Health event. This event is a billing notification for the Amazon account.

aws health describe-affected-entities \
    --filter "eventArns=arn:aws:health:global::event/BILLING/AWS_BILLING_NOTIFICATION/AWS_BILLING_NOTIFICATION_6ce1d874-e995-40e2-99cd-EXAMPLE11145" \
    --region us-east-1

Output:

{
    "entities": [
        {
            "entityArn": "arn:aws:health:global:123456789012:entity/EXAMPLEimSMoULmWHpb",
            "eventArn": "arn:aws:health:global::event/BILLING/AWS_BILLING_NOTIFICATION/AWS_BILLING_NOTIFICATION_6ce1d874-e995-40e2-99cd-EXAMPLE11145",

        }
    ]
}
