Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    • View (dict) --

      A ServiceView object that contains the details and configuration of the requested service view.

      • ServiceViewArn (string) --

        The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the service view.

      • ServiceViewName (string) --

        The name of the service view.

      • Filters (dict) --

        A search filter defines which resources can be part of a search query result set.

        • FilterString (string) --

          The string that contains the search keywords, prefixes, and operators to control the results that can be returned by a Search operation. For more details, see Search query syntax.

      • IncludedProperties (list) --

        A list of additional resource properties that are included in this view for search and filtering purposes.

        • (dict) --

          Information about an additional property that describes a resource, that you can optionally include in the view. This lets you view that property in search results, and filter your search results based on the value of the property.

          • Name (string) --

            The name of the property that is included in this view.

            You can specify the following property names for this field:

            • tags

      • StreamingAccessForService (string) --

        The Amazon Web Services service that has streaming access to this view's data.

      • ScopeType (string) --

        The scope type of the service view, which determines what resources are included.

      • ServiceLinkedRecorder (dict) --

        Information about the service-linked recorder associated with this service view. When a service view is paired with a service-linked recorder, Resource Explorer uses the recorder's resource type list to filter search results and streaming data.

        • ServicePrincipal (string) --

          The service principal of the Amazon Web Services service that owns the service-linked recorder, such as observabilityadmin.amazonaws.com.

        • RecorderName (string) --

          The name of the service-linked recorder, such as AWSConfigurationRecorderForObservabilityAdmin.

        • RecorderType (string) --

          The type of the recorder. Valid values are AWS and THIRD_PARTY.

ListResources (updated) Link ¶
Changes (response) 
{'Resources': {'CfnResourceType': 'string'}}

Returns a list of resources and their details that match the specified criteria. This query must use a view. If you don’t explicitly specify a view, then Resource Explorer uses the default view for the Amazon Web Services Region in which you call this operation.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

client.list_resources(
    Filters={
        'FilterString': 'string'
    },
    MaxResults=123,
    ViewArn='string',
    NextToken='string'
)
type Filters:

dict

param Filters:

An array of strings that specify which resources are included in the results of queries made using this view. When you use this view in a Search operation, the filter string is combined with the search's QueryString parameter using a logical AND operator.

For information about the supported syntax, see Search query reference for Resource Explorer in the Amazon Web Services Resource Explorer User Guide.

  • FilterString (string) -- [REQUIRED]

    The string that contains the search keywords, prefixes, and operators to control the results that can be returned by a Search operation. For more details, see Search query syntax.

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.

type ViewArn:

string

param ViewArn:

Specifies the Amazon resource name (ARN) of the view to use for the query. If you don't specify a value for this parameter, then the operation automatically uses the default view for the Amazon Web Services Region in which you called this operation. If the Region either doesn't have a default view or if you don't have permission to use the default view, then the operation fails with a 401 Unauthorized exception.

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. The pagination tokens expire after 24 hours.

rtype:

dict

returns:
