DescribeEvents (new) Link ¶

Describes events for a specified server. Results are ordered by time, with newest events first.

This operation is synchronous.

A ResourceNotFoundException is thrown when the server does not exist. A ValidationException is raised when parameters of the request are invalid.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

client.describe_events(
    ServerName='string',
    NextToken='string',
    MaxResults=123
)
type ServerName:

string

param ServerName:

[REQUIRED]

The name of the server for which you want to view events.

type NextToken:

string

param NextToken:

NextToken is a string that is returned in some command responses. It indicates that not all entries have been returned, and that you must run at least one more request to get remaining items. To get remaining results, call DescribeEvents again, and assign the token from the previous results as the value of the nextToken parameter. If there are no more results, the response object's nextToken parameter value is null. Setting a nextToken value that was not returned in your previous results causes an InvalidNextTokenException to occur.

type MaxResults:

integer

param MaxResults:

To receive a paginated response, use this parameter to specify the maximum number of results to be returned with a single call. If the number of available results exceeds this maximum, the response includes a NextToken value that you can assign to the NextToken request parameter to get the next set of results.

rtype:

dict

returns:

          The Amazon S3 URL of the event's log file.

    • NextToken (string) --

      NextToken is a string that is returned in some command responses. It indicates that not all entries have been returned, and that you must run at least one more request to get remaining items. To get remaining results, call DescribeEvents again, and assign the token from the previous results as the value of the nextToken parameter. If there are no more results, the response object's nextToken parameter value is null. Setting a nextToken value that was not returned in your previous results causes an InvalidNextTokenException to occur.

DescribeServers (new) Link ¶

Lists all configuration management servers that are identified with your account. Only the stored results from Amazon DynamoDB are returned. AWS OpsWorks for Chef Automate does not query other services.

This operation is synchronous.

A ResourceNotFoundException is thrown when the server does not exist. A ValidationException is raised when parameters of the request are invalid.

CreateServer (new) Link ¶

Creates and immedately starts a new Server. The server can be used once it has reached the HEALTHY state.

This operation is asnychronous.

A LimitExceededException is thrown then the maximum number of server backup is reached. A ResourceAlreadyExistsException is raise when a server with the same name already exists in the account. A ResourceNotFoundException is thrown when a backupId is passed, but the backup does not exist. A ValidationException is thrown when parameters of the request are not valid.

By default 10 servers can be created. A LimitExceededException is raised when the limit is exceeded.

When no security groups are provided by using SecurityGroupIds, AWS OpsWorks creates a new security group. This security group opens the Chef server to the world on TCP port 443. If a KeyName is present, SSH access is enabled. SSH is also open to the world on TCP port 22.

By default, the Chef Server is accessible from any IP address. We recommend that you update your security group rules to allow access from known IP addresses and address ranges only. To edit security group rules, open Security Groups in the navigation pane of the EC2 management console.

  • (string) --

type ServiceRoleArn:

string

param ServiceRoleArn:

[REQUIRED]

The service role that the AWS OpsWorks for Chef Automate service backend uses to work with your account.

CreateBackup (new) Link ¶

Creates an application-level backup of a server. While the server is BACKING_UP, the server can not be modified and no additional backup can be created.

Backups can be created for RUNNING, HEALTHY and UNHEALTHY servers.

This operation is asnychronous.

By default 50 manual backups can be created.

A LimitExceededException is thrown then the maximum number of manual backup is reached. A InvalidStateException is thrown when the server is not in any of RUNNING, HEALTHY, UNHEALTHY. A ResourceNotFoundException is thrown when the server is not found. A ValidationException is thrown when parameters of the request are not valid.

Restores a backup to a server that is in a RUNNING, FAILED, or HEALTHY state. When you run RestoreServer, the server's EC2 instance is deleted, and a new EC2 instance is configured. RestoreServer maintains the existing server endpoint, so configuration management of all of the server's client devices should continue to work.

This operation is asynchronous.

A InvalidStateException is thrown when the server is not in a valid state. A ResourceNotFoundException is thrown when the server does not exist. A ValidationException is raised when parameters of the request are invalid.

Request Syntax

client.restore_server(
    BackupId='string',
    ServerName='string',
    InstanceType='string',
    KeyPair='string'
)
type BackupId:

string

param BackupId:

[REQUIRED]

The ID of the backup that you want to use to restore a server.

type ServerName:

string

param ServerName:

[REQUIRED]

The name of the server that you want to restore.

type InstanceType:

string

param InstanceType:

The type of the instance to create. Valid values must be specified in the following format: ^([cm][34]|t2).* For example, c3.large. If you do not specify this parameter, RestoreServer uses the instance type from the specified backup.

type KeyPair:

string

param KeyPair:

The name of the key pair to set on the new EC2 instance. This can be helpful if any of the administrators who manage the server no longer have the SSH key.

rtype:

dict

returns:

DeleteServer (new) Link ¶

Deletes the server and the underlying AWS CloudFormation stack (including the server's EC2 instance). The server status updated to DELETING. Once the server is successfully deleted, it will no longer be returned by DescribeServer requests. If the AWS CloudFormation stack cannot be deleted, the server cannot be deleted.

This operation is asynchronous.

A InvalidStateException is thrown then a server is already deleting. A ResourceNotFoundException is thrown when the server does not exist. A ValidationException is raised when parameters of the request are invalid.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

client.delete_server(
    ServerName='string'
)
type ServerName:

string

param ServerName:

[REQUIRED]

The ID of the server to delete.

StartMaintenance (new) Link ¶

Manually starts server maintenance. This command can be useful if an earlier maintenance attempt failed, and the underlying cause of maintenance failure has been resolved. The server will switch to UNDER_MAINTENANCE state, while maintenace is in progress.

Maintenace can only be started for HEALTHY and UNHEALTHY servers. A InvalidStateException is thrown otherwise. A ResourceNotFoundException is thrown when the server does not exist. A ValidationException is raised when parameters of the request are invalid.

    • Server (dict) --

      Contains the response to a StartMaintenance request.

      • BackupRetentionCount (integer) --

        The number of automated backups to keep.

      • ServerName (string) --

        The name of the server.

      • CreatedAt (datetime) --

        Time stamp of server creation. Example 2016-07-29T13:38:47.520Z

      • DisableAutomatedBackup (boolean) --

        Disables automated backups. The number of stored backups is dependent on the value of PreferredBackupCount.

      • Endpoint (string) --

        A DNS name that can be used to access the engine. Example: myserver-asdfghjkl.us-east-1.opsworks.io

      • Engine (string) --

        The engine type of the server. The valid value in this release is Chef.

      • EngineModel (string) --

        The engine model of the server. The valid value in this release is Single.

      • EngineAttributes (list) --

        The response of a createServer() request returns the master credential to access the server in EngineAttributes. These credentials are not stored by AWS OpsWorks for Chef Automate; they are returned only as part of the result of createServer().

        Attributes returned in a createServer response:

        • CHEF_PIVOTAL_KEY: A base64-encoded RSA private key that is generated by AWS OpsWorks for Chef Automate. This private key is required to access the Chef API.

        • CHEF_STARTER_KIT: A base64-encoded ZIP file. The ZIP file contains a Chef starter kit, which includes a README, a configuration file, and the required RSA private key. Save this file, unzip it, and then change to the directory where you've unzipped the file contents. From this directory, you can run Knife commands.
