describe_stale_security_groups

EC2.Client.describe_stale_security_groups(**kwargs)

[VPC only] Describes the stale security group rules for security groups in a specified VPC. Rules are stale when they reference a deleted security group in the same VPC or in a peer VPC, or if they reference a security group in a peer VPC for which the VPC peering connection has been deleted.

Request Syntax

response = client.describe_stale_security_groups(
    DryRun=True|False,
    MaxResults=123,
    NextToken='string',
    VpcId='string'
)
Parameters
  • DryRun (boolean) -- Checks whether you have the required permissions for the action, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is DryRunOperation . Otherwise, it is UnauthorizedOperation .
  • MaxResults (integer) -- The maximum number of items to return for this request. To get the next page of items, make another request with the token returned in the output. For more information, see Pagination.
  • NextToken (string) -- The token returned from a previous paginated request. Pagination continues from the end of the items returned by the previous request.
  • VpcId (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The ID of the VPC.
