Documentation

The query that is used to define a resource group or a search for resources. A query specifies both a query type and a query string as a JSON object. See the examples section for example JSON strings.

The examples that follow are shown as standard JSON strings. If you include such a string as a parameter to the AWS CLI or an SDK API, you might need to 'escape' the string into a single line. For example, see the Quoting strings in the AWS CLI User Guide.

Example 1

The following generic example shows a resource query JSON string that includes only resources that meet the following criteria:

• The resource type must be either resource_type1 or resource_type2.
• The resource must have a tag Key1 with a value of either ValueA or ValueB.
• The resource must have a tag Key2 with a value of either ValueC or ValueD.

{ "Type": "TAG_FILTERS_1_0", "Query": { "ResourceTypeFilters": [ "resource_type1", "resource_type2"], "TagFilters": [ { "Key": "Key1", "Values": ["ValueA","ValueB"] }, { "Key":"Key2", "Values":["ValueC","ValueD"] } ] } }

This has the equivalent "shortcut" syntax of the following:

{ "Type": "TAG_FILTERS_1_0", "Query": { "ResourceTypeFilters": [ "resource_type1", "resource_type2"], "TagFilters": [ { "Key1": ["ValueA","ValueB"] }, { "Key2": ["ValueC","ValueD"] } ] } }

Example 2

The following example shows a resource query JSON string that includes only Amazon EC2 instances that are tagged Stage with a value of Test.

{ "Type": "TAG_FILTERS_1_0", "Query": "{ "ResourceTypeFilters": "AWS::EC2::Instance", "TagFilters": { "Stage": "Test" } } }

Example 3

The following example shows a resource query JSON string that includes resource of any supported type as long as it is tagged Stage with a value of Prod.

{ "Type": "TAG_FILTERS_1_0", "Query": { "ResourceTypeFilters": "AWS::AllSupported", "TagFilters": { "Stage": "Prod" } } }

Example 4

The following example shows a resource query JSON string that includes only Amazon EC2 instances and Amazon S3 buckets that are part of the specified AWS CloudFormation stack.

{ "Type": "CLOUDFORMATION_STACK_1_0", "Query": { "ResourceTypeFilters": [ "AWS::EC2::Instance", "AWS::S3::Bucket" ], "StackIdentifier": "arn:aws:cloudformation:us-west-2:123456789012:stack/AWStestuseraccount/fb0d5000-aba8-00e8-aa9e-50d5cEXAMPLE" } }

See: newResourceQuery smart constructor.

Create a value of ResourceQuery with all optional fields omitted.

Use generic-lens or optics to modify other optional fields.

The following record fields are available, with the corresponding lenses provided for backwards compatibility:

$sel:type':ResourceQuery', resourceQuery_type - The type of the query. You can use the following values:

• CLOUDFORMATION_STACK_1_0: Specifies that the Query contains an ARN for a CloudFormation stack.

• TAG_FILTERS_1_0: Specifies that the Query parameter contains a JSON string that represents a collection of simple tag filters for resource types and tags. The JSON string uses a syntax similar to the GetResources operation, but uses only the ResourceTypeFilters and TagFilters fields. If you specify more than one tag key, only resources that match all tag keys, and at least one value of each specified tag key, are returned in your query. If you specify more than one value for a tag key, a resource matches the filter if it has a tag key value that matches any of the specified values.

  For example, consider the following sample query for resources that have two tags, Stage and Version, with two values each:

  [{"Stage":["Test","Deploy"]},{"Version":["1","2"]}]

  The results of this query could include the following.

  • An EC2 instance that has the following two tags: {"Stage":"Deploy"}, and {"Version":"2"}
  • An S3 bucket that has the following two tags: {"Stage":"Test"}, and {"Version":"1"}

  The query would not include the following items in the results, however.

  • An EC2 instance that has only the following tag: {"Stage":"Deploy"}.

    The instance does not have all of the tag keys specified in the filter, so it is excluded from the results.

  • An RDS database that has the following two tags: {"Stage":"Archived"} and {"Version":"4"}

    The database has all of the tag keys, but none of those keys has an associated value that matches at least one of the specified values in the filter.

$sel:query:ResourceQuery', resourceQuery_searchQuery - The query that defines a group or a search.

The type of the query. You can use the following values:

• CLOUDFORMATION_STACK_1_0: Specifies that the Query contains an ARN for a CloudFormation stack.

• TAG_FILTERS_1_0: Specifies that the Query parameter contains a JSON string that represents a collection of simple tag filters for resource types and tags. The JSON string uses a syntax similar to the GetResources operation, but uses only the ResourceTypeFilters and TagFilters fields. If you specify more than one tag key, only resources that match all tag keys, and at least one value of each specified tag key, are returned in your query. If you specify more than one value for a tag key, a resource matches the filter if it has a tag key value that matches any of the specified values.

  For example, consider the following sample query for resources that have two tags, Stage and Version, with two values each:

  [{"Stage":["Test","Deploy"]},{"Version":["1","2"]}]

    The database has all of the tag keys, but none of those keys has an associated value that matches at least one of the specified values in the filter.

The query that defines a group or a search.
