get-maintenance-window-task
Description
Retrieves the details of a maintenance window task.
Note
For maintenance window tasks without a specified target, you can’t supply values for--max-errors and --max-concurrency . Instead, the system inserts a placeholder value of 1 , which may be reported in the response to this command. These values don’t affect the running of your task and can be ignored.To retrieve a list of tasks in a maintenance window, instead use the DescribeMaintenanceWindowTasks command.

Options
--window-id (string)
--window-task-id (string)
--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those 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. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.
--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. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.
Global Options
--debug (boolean)
Turn on debug logging.
--endpoint-url (string)
Override command’s default URL with the given URL.
--no-verify-ssl (boolean)
By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.
--no-paginate (boolean)
Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.
--output (string)
The formatting style for command output.
- json
- text
- table
- yaml
- yaml-stream
--query (string)
A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.
--profile (string)
Use a specific profile from your credential file.
--region (string)
The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.
--version (string)
Display the version of this tool.
--color (string)
Turn on/off color output.
- on
- off
- auto
--no-sign-request (boolean)
Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.
--ca-bundle (string)
The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.
--cli-read-timeout (int)
The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.
--cli-connect-timeout (int)
The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.
--cli-binary-format (string)
The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.
- base64
- raw-in-base64-out
--no-cli-pager (boolean)
Disable cli pager for output.
--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)
Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.
--no-cli-auto-prompt (boolean)
Disable automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.
Examples
Note
To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.
Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

Output
WindowId -> (string)
WindowTaskId -> (string)
Targets -> (list)
The targets where the task should run.
(structure)
An array of search criteria that targets managed nodes using a key-value pair that you specify.
Note
One or more targets must be specified for maintenance window Run Command-type tasks. Depending on the task, targets are optional for other maintenance window task types (Automation, Lambda, and Step Functions). For more information about running tasks that don’t specify targets, see Registering maintenance window tasks without targets in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide .Supported formats include the following.
Key=tag-key,Values=tag-value-1,tag-value-2
Key=tag:tag-key,Values=tag-valueKey=ResourceGroup,Values=resource-group-nameKey=ParameterValues,Values=value-1,value-2,value-3- To target all instances in the Amazon Web Services Region:
Key=AWS::EC2::Instance,Values=*Key=InstanceIds,Values=*
Key=InstanceIds,Values=instance-id-1,instance-id-2,instance-id-3Key=tag:tag-key,Values=tag-value-1,tag-value-2Key=resource-groups:Name,Values=resource-group-name- Additionally, Maintenance Windows support targeting resource types:
Key=resource-groups:ResourceTypeFilters,Values=resource-type-1,resource-type-2
Key=InstanceIds,Values=instance-id-1,instance-id-2,instance-id-3Key=tag:tag-key,Values=tag-value-1,tag-value-2- To target all instances in the Amazon Web Services Region:
Key=InstanceIds,Values=*
For more information about how to send commands that target managed nodes using Key,Value parameters, see Targeting multiple managed nodes in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide .
Key -> (string)
Values -> (list)
User-defined criteria that maps to Key . For example, if you specified tag:ServerRole , you could specify value:WebServer to run a command on instances that include EC2 tags of ServerRole,WebServer .
Depending on the type of target, the maximum number of values for a key might be lower than the global maximum of 50.
(string)
TaskArn -> (string)
RUN_COMMAND and AUTOMATION task types, the value of TaskArn is the SSM document name/ARN. For LAMBDA tasks, the value is the function name/ARN. For STEP_FUNCTIONS tasks, the value is the state machine ARN.ServiceRoleArn -> (string)
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM service role for Amazon Web Services Systems Manager to assume when running a maintenance window task. If you do not specify a service role ARN, Systems Manager uses a service-linked role in your account. If no appropriate service-linked role for Systems Manager exists in your account, it is created when you run RegisterTaskWithMaintenanceWindow .
However, for an improved security posture, we strongly recommend creating a custom policy and custom service role for running your maintenance window tasks. The policy can be crafted to provide only the permissions needed for your particular maintenance window tasks. For more information, see Setting up Maintenance Windows in the in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide .
TaskType -> (string)
TaskParameters -> (map)
The parameters to pass to the task when it runs.
Note
TaskParameters has been deprecated. To specify parameters to pass to a task when it runs, instead use the Parameters option in the TaskInvocationParameters structure. For information about how Systems Manager handles these options for the supported maintenance window task types, see MaintenanceWindowTaskInvocationParameters .key -> (string)

DocumentHashType -> (string)
DocumentVersion -> (string)
The Amazon Web Services Systems Manager document (SSM document) version to use in the request. You can specify $DEFAULT , $LATEST , or a specific version number. If you run commands by using the Amazon Web Services CLI, then you must escape the first two options by using a backslash. If you specify a version number, then you don’t need to use the backslash. For example:
--document-version "\$DEFAULT"
--document-version "\$LATEST"
--document-version "3"
NotificationConfig -> (structure)
Configurations for sending notifications about command status changes on a per-managed node basis.
NotificationArn -> (string)
