AWS Resource Explorer

2022/11/08 - AWS Resource Explorer - 19 new api methods

Changes  This is the initial SDK release for AWS Resource Explorer. AWS Resource Explorer lets your users search for and discover your AWS resources across the AWS Regions in your account.

DisassociateDefaultView (new) Link ¶

After you call this operation, the affected Amazon Web Services Region no longer has a default view. All Search operations in that Region must explicitly specify a view or the operation fails. You can configure a new default by calling the AssociateDefaultView operation.

If an Amazon Web Services Region doesn't have a default view configured, then users must explicitly specify a view with every Search operation performed in that Region.

Request Syntax

client.disassociate_default_view()
returns

None

ListSupportedResourceTypes (new) Link ¶

Retrieves a list of all resource types currently supported by Amazon Web Services Resource Explorer.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

client.list_supported_resource_types(
    MaxResults=123,
    NextToken='string'
)
type MaxResults

integer

param MaxResults

The maximum number of results that you want included on each page of the response. If you do not include this parameter, it defaults to a value appropriate to the operation. If additional items exist beyond those included in the current response, the NextToken response element is present and has a value (is not null). Include that value as the NextToken request parameter in the next call to the operation to get the next part of the results.

Note

An API operation can return fewer results than the maximum even when there are more results available. You should check NextToken after every operation to ensure that you receive all of the results.

type NextToken

string

param NextToken

The parameter for receiving additional results if you receive a NextToken response in a previous request. A NextToken response indicates that more output is available. Set this parameter to the value of the previous call's NextToken response to indicate where the output should continue from.

rtype

dict

returns

Response Syntax

        {
            'ResourceType': 'string',
            'Service': 'string'
        },
    ]
}

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    • NextToken (string) --

      If present, indicates that more output is available than is included in the current response. Use this value in the NextToken request parameter in a subsequent call to the operation to get the next part of the output. You should repeat this until the NextToken response element comes back as null .

    • ResourceTypes (list) --

      The list of resource types supported by Resource Explorer.

      • (dict) --

        A structure that describes a resource type supported by Amazon Web Services Resource Explorer.

        • ResourceType (string) --

          The unique identifier of the resource type.

        • Service (string) --

          The Amazon Web Service that is associated with the resource type. This is the primary service that lets you create and interact with resources of this type.

ListViews (new) Link ¶

Lists the Amazon resource names (ARNs) of the views available in the Amazon Web Services Region in which you call this operation.

Note

Always check the NextToken response parameter for a null value when calling a paginated operation. These operations can occasionally return an empty set of results even when there are more results available. The NextToken response parameter value is null only when there are no more results to display.

Response Structure

CreateIndex (new) Link ¶

Turns on Amazon Web Services Resource Explorer in the Amazon Web Services Region in which you called this operation by creating an index. Resource Explorer begins discovering the resources in this Region and stores the details about the resources in the index so that they can be queried by using the Search operation. You can create only one index in a Region.

Note

This operation creates only a local index. To promote the local index in one Amazon Web Services Region into the aggregator index for the Amazon Web Services account, use the UpdateIndexType operation. For more information, see Turning on cross-Region search by creating an aggregator index in the Amazon Web Services Resource Explorer User Guide .

For more details about what happens when you turn on Resource Explorer in an Amazon Web Services Region, see Turn on Resource Explorer to index your resources in an Amazon Web Services Region in the Amazon Web Services Resource Explorer User Guide .

If this is the first Amazon Web Services Region in which you've created an index for Resource Explorer, then this operation also creates a service-linked role in your Amazon Web Services account that allows Resource Explorer to enumerate your resources to populate the index.

<ul> <li> <p> <b>Action</b>: <code>resource-explorer-2:CreateIndex</code> </p> <p> <b>Resource</b>: The ARN of the index (as it will exist after the operation completes) in the Amazon Web Services Region and account in which you're trying to create the index. Use the wildcard character (<code>*</code>) at the end of the string to match the eventual UUID. For example, the following <code>Resource</code> element restricts the role or user to creating an index in only the <code>us-east-2</code> Region of the specified account.</p> <p> <code>"Resource": "arn:aws:resource-explorer-2:us-east-2:<i>&lt;account-id&gt;</i>:index/*"</code> </p> <p>Alternatively, you can use <code>"Resource": "*"</code> to allow the role or user to create an index in any Region.</p> </li> <li> <p> <b>Action</b>: <code>iam:CreateServiceLinkedRole</code> </p> <p> <b>Resource</b>: No specific resource (*). </p> <p>This permission is required only the first time you create an index to turn on Resource Explorer in the account. Resource Explorer uses this to create the <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/resource-explorer/latest/userguide/security_iam_service-linked-roles.html">service-linked role needed to index the resources in your account</a>. Resource Explorer uses the same service-linked role for all additional indexes you create afterwards.</p> </li> </ul>

}

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    • Arn (string) --

      The ARN of the new local index for the Region. You can reference this ARN in IAM permission policies to authorize the following operations: DeleteIndex | GetIndex | UpdateIndexType | CreateView

    • CreatedAt (datetime) --

      The date and timestamp when the index was created.

    • State (string) --

      Indicates the current state of the index. You can check for changes to the state for asynchronous operations by calling the GetIndex operation.

      Note

      The state can remain in the CREATING or UPDATING state for several hours as Resource Explorer discovers the information about your resources and populates the index.

CreateView (new) Link ¶

Creates a view that users can query by using the Search operation. Results from queries that you make using this view include only resources that match the view's Filters . For more information about Amazon Web Services Resource Explorer views, see Managing views in the Amazon Web Services Resource Explorer User Guide .

Only the principals with an IAM identity-based policy that grants Allow to the Search action on a Resource with the Amazon resource name (ARN) of this view can Search using views you create with this operation.

ListIndexes (new) Link ¶

Retrieves a list of all of the indexes in Amazon Web Services Regions that are currently collecting resource information for Amazon Web Services Resource Explorer.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

client.list_indexes(
    MaxResults=123,
    NextToken='string',
    Regions=[
        'string',
    ],
    Type='LOCAL'|'AGGREGATOR'
)
type MaxResults

integer

param MaxResults

The maximum number of results that you want included on each page of the response. If you do not include this parameter, it defaults to a value appropriate to the operation. If additional items exist beyond those included in the current response, the NextToken response element is present and has a value (is not null). Include that value as the NextToken request parameter in the next call to the operation to get the next part of the results.

Note

An API operation can return fewer results than the maximum even when there are more results available. You should check NextToken after every operation to ensure that you receive all of the results.

type NextToken

string

param NextToken

The parameter for receiving additional results if you receive a NextToken response in a previous request. A NextToken response indicates that more output is available. Set this parameter to the value of the previous call's NextToken response to indicate where the output should continue from.

type Regions

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    • Indexes (list) --

      A structure that contains the details and status of each index.

      • (dict) --

        An index is the data store used by Amazon Web Services Resource Explorer to hold information about your Amazon Web Services resources that the service discovers. Creating an index in an Amazon Web Services Region turns on Resource Explorer and lets it discover your resources.

        By default, an index is local , meaning that it contains information about resources in only the same Region as the index. However, you can promote the index of one Region in the account by calling UpdateIndexType to convert it into an aggregator index. The aggregator index receives a replicated copy of the index information from all other Regions where Resource Explorer is turned on. This allows search operations in that Region to return results from all Regions in the account.

        • Arn (string) --

          The Amazon resource name (ARN) of the index.

        • Region (string) --

          The Amazon Web Services Region in which the index exists.

        • Type (string) --

          The type of index. It can be one of the following values:

          • LOCAL – The index contains information about resources from only the same Amazon Web Services Region.

          • AGGREGATOR – Resource Explorer replicates copies of the indexed information about resources in all other Amazon Web Services Regions to the aggregator index. This lets search results in the Region with the aggregator index to include resources from all Regions in the account where Resource Explorer is turned on.

    • NextToken (string) --

      If present, indicates that more output is available than is included in the current response. Use this value in the NextToken request parameter in a subsequent call to the operation to get the next part of the output. You should repeat this until the NextToken response element comes back as null .

UpdateIndexType (new) Link ¶

Changes the type of the index from one of the following types to the other. For more information about indexes and the role they perform in Amazon Web Services Resource Explorer, see Turning on cross-Region search by creating an aggregator index in the Amazon Web Services Resource Explorer User Guide .

  • AGGREGATOR index type The index contains information about resources from all Amazon Web Services Regions in the Amazon Web Services account in which you've created a Resource Explorer index. Resource information from all other Regions is replicated to this Region's index. When you change the index type to AGGREGATOR , Resource Explorer turns on replication of all discovered resource information from the other Amazon Web Services Regions in your account to this index. You can then, from this Region only, perform resource search queries that span all Amazon Web Services Regions in the Amazon Web Services account. Turning on replication from all other Regions is performed by asynchronous background tasks. You can check the status of the asynchronous tasks by using the GetIndex operation. When the asynchronous tasks complete, the Status response of that operation changes from UPDATING to ACTIVE . After that, you can start to see results from other Amazon Web Services Regions in query results. However, it can take several hours for replication from all other Regions to complete.

Warning

You can have only one aggregator index per Amazon Web Services account. Before you can promote a different index to be the aggregator index for the account, you must first demote the existing aggregator index to type LOCAL .

  • LOCAL index type The index contains information about resources in only the Amazon Web Services Region in which the index exists. If an aggregator index in another Region exists, then information in this local index is replicated to the aggregator index. When you change the index type to LOCAL , Resource Explorer turns off the replication of resource information from all other Amazon Web Services Regions in the Amazon Web Services account to this Region. The aggregator index remains in the UPDATING state until all replication with other Regions successfully stops. You can check the status of the asynchronous task by using the GetIndex operation. When Resource Explorer successfully stops all replication with other Regions, the Status response of that operation changes from UPDATING to ACTIVE . Separately, the resource information from other Regions that was previously stored in the index is deleted within 30 days by another background task. Until that asynchronous task completes, some results from other Regions can continue to appear in search results.

Warning

After you demote an aggregator index to a local index, you must wait 24 hours before you can promote another index to be the new aggregator index for the account.
