Retrieve information about one or more parameters under a specified level in a hierarchy

Description

Retrieve information about one or more parameters under a specified level in a hierarchy.

Request results are returned on a best-effort basis. If you specify MaxResults in the request, the response includes information up to the limit specified. The number of items returned, however, can be between zero and the value of MaxResults. If the service reaches an internal limit while processing the results, it stops the operation and returns the matching values up to that point and a NextToken. You can specify the NextToken in a subsequent call to get the next set of results.

Parameter names can't contain spaces. The service removes any spaces specified for the beginning or end of a parameter name. If the specified name for a parameter contains spaces between characters, the request fails with a ValidationException error.

Usage

ssm_get_parameters_by_path(Path, Recursive, ParameterFilters,
  WithDecryption, MaxResults, NextToken)

Arguments

  • Path

    [required] The hierarchy for the parameter. Hierarchies start with a forward slash (/). The hierarchy is the parameter name except the last part of the parameter. For the API call to succeed, the last part of the parameter name can't be in the path. A parameter name hierarchy can have a maximum of 15 levels. Here is an example of a hierarchy: /Finance/Prod/IAD/WinServ2016/license33

  • Recursive

    Retrieve all parameters within a hierarchy.

    If a user has access to a path, then the user can access all levels of that path. For example, if a user has permission to access path /a, then the user can also access /a/b. Even if a user has explicitly been denied access in IAM for parameter /a/b, they can still call the GetParametersByPath API operation recursively for /a and view /a/b.

  • ParameterFilters

    Filters to limit the request results.

    The following Key values are supported for get_parameters_by_path: Type, KeyId, and Label.

    The following Key values aren't supported for get_parameters_by_path: tag, DataType, Name, Path, and Tier.

  • WithDecryption

    Retrieve all parameters in a hierarchy with their value decrypted.

  • MaxResults

    The maximum number of items to return for this call. The call also returns a token that you can specify in a subsequent call to get the next set of results.

  • NextToken

    A token to start the list. Use this token to get the next set of results.

Value

A list with the following syntax:

list(
  Parameters = list(
    list(
      Name = "string",
      Type = "String"|"StringList"|"SecureString",
      Value = "string",
      Version = 123,
      Selector = "string",
      SourceResult = "string",
      LastModifiedDate = as.POSIXct(
        "2015-01-01"
      ),
      ARN = "string",
      DataType = "string"
    )
  ),
  NextToken = "string"
)
