ListCoreDevices - AWS IoT Greengrass

ListCoreDevices

Retrieves a paginated list of Greengrass core devices.

Note

AWS IoT Greengrass relies on individual devices to send status updates to the AWS Cloud. If the AWS IoT Greengrass Core software isn't running on the device, or if device isn't connected to the AWS Cloud, then the reported status of that device might not reflect its current status. The status timestamp indicates when the device status was last updated.

Core devices send status updates at the following times:

  • When the AWS IoT Greengrass Core software starts

  • When the core device receives a deployment from the AWS Cloud

  • For Greengrass nucleus 2.12.2 and earlier, the core device sends status updates when the status of any component on the core device becomes ERRORED or BROKEN.

  • For Greengrass nucleus 2.12.3 and later, the core device sends status updates when the status of any component on the core device becomes ERRORED, BROKEN, RUNNING, or FINISHED.

  • At a regular interval that you can configure, which defaults to 24 hours

  • For AWS IoT Greengrass Core v2.7.0, the core device sends status updates upon local deployment and cloud deployment

Request Syntax

GET /greengrass/v2/coreDevices?maxResults=maxResults&nextToken=nextToken&status=status&thingGroupArn=thingGroupArn HTTP/1.1

URI Request Parameters

The request uses the following URI parameters.

maxResults

The maximum number of results to be returned per paginated request.

Valid Range: Minimum value of 1. Maximum value of 100.

nextToken

The token to be used for the next set of paginated results.

status

The core device status by which to filter. If you specify this parameter, the list includes only core devices that have this status. Choose one of the following options:

  • HEALTHY – The AWS IoT Greengrass Core software and all components run on the core device without issue.

  • UNHEALTHY – The AWS IoT Greengrass Core software or a component is in a failed state on the core device.

Valid Values: HEALTHY | UNHEALTHY

thingGroupArn

The ARN of the AWS IoT thing group by which to filter. If you specify this parameter, the list includes only core devices that have successfully deployed a deployment that targets the thing group. When you remove a core device from a thing group, the list continues to include that core device.

Pattern: arn:[^:]*:iot:[^:]*:[0-9]+:thinggroup/.+

Request Body

The request does not have a request body.

Response Syntax
