modify_instance_event_window#

EC2.Client.modify_instance_event_window(**kwargs)#

Modifies the specified event window.

You can define either a set of time ranges or a cron expression when modifying the event window, but not both.

To modify the targets associated with the event window, use the AssociateInstanceEventWindow and DisassociateInstanceEventWindow API.

If Amazon Web Services has already scheduled an event, modifying an event window won’t change the time of the scheduled event.

For more information, see Define event windows for scheduled events in the Amazon EC2 User Guide .

Name (string) – The name of the event window.
InstanceEventWindowId (string) –
[REQUIRED]

The ID of the event window.
TimeRanges (list) –
The time ranges of the event window.

- For day of the week values, you can specify either integers 0 through 6 , or alternative single values SUN through SAT .
- The minute, month, and year must be specified by * .
- The hour value must be one or a multiple range, for example, 0-4 or 0-4,20-23 .
