ResourceGroups / Client / search_resources

search_resources#

ResourceGroups.Client.search_resources(**kwargs)#

Returns a list of Amazon Web Services resource identifiers that matches the specified query. The query uses the same format as a resource query in a CreateGroup or UpdateGroupQuery operation.

Minimum permissions

To run this command, you must have the following permissions:

  • resource-groups:SearchResources

  • cloudformation:DescribeStacks

  • cloudformation:ListStackResources

  • tag:GetResources

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = client.search_resources(
    ResourceQuery={
        'Type': 'TAG_FILTERS_1_0'|'CLOUDFORMATION_STACK_1_0',
        'Query': 'string'
    },
    MaxResults=123,
    NextToken='string'
)
Parameters:

  • ResourceQuery (dict) –

    [REQUIRED]

    The search query, using the same formats that are supported for resource group definition. For more information, see CreateGroup.

    • Type (string) – [REQUIRED]

      The type of the query to perform. This can have one of two values:

      • CLOUDFORMATION_STACK_1_0: Specifies that you want the group to contain the members of an CloudFormation stack. The Query contains a StackIdentifier element with an ARN for a CloudFormation stack.

      • TAG_FILTERS_1_0: Specifies that you want the group to include resource that have tags that match the query.

    • Query (string) – [REQUIRED]

      The query that defines a group or a search. The contents depends on the value of the Type element.

      • ResourceTypeFilters – Applies to all ResourceQuery objects of either Type. This element contains one of the following two items:

        • The value AWS::AllSupported. This causes the ResourceQuery to match resources of any resource type that also match the query.

        • A list (a JSON array) of resource type identifiers that limit the query to only resources of the specified types. For the complete list of resource types that you can use in the array value for ResourceTypeFilters, see Resources you can use with Resource Groups and Tag Editor in the Resource Groups User Guide.

      Example: "ResourceTypeFilters": ["AWS::AllSupported"] or "ResourceTypeFilters": ["AWS::EC2::Instance", "AWS::S3::Bucket"]

      • TagFilters – applicable only if Type = TAG_FILTERS_1_0. The Query contains a JSON string that represents a collection of simple tag filters. 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 resource query could include the following.

        • An Amazon 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 resource query results would not include the following items in the results, however.

      • An Amazon 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.

      Example: "TagFilters": [ { "Key": "Stage", "Values": [ "Gamma", "Beta" ] }

      • StackIdentifier – applicable only if Type = CLOUDFORMATION_STACK_1_0. The value of this parameter is the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the CloudFormation stack whose resources you want included in the group.

  • MaxResults (integer) – The total 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 that is specific to the operation. If additional items exist beyond the maximum you specify, 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. Note that the service might return fewer results than the maximum even when there are more results available. You should check NextToken after every operation to ensure that you receive all of the results.

  • NextToken (string) – 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 provided by a previous call’s NextToken response to indicate where the output should continue from.

{
    'ResourceIdentifiers': [
        {
            'ResourceArn': 'string',
            'ResourceType': 'string'

Response Structure

  • (dict) –

    • ResourceIdentifiers (list) –

      The ARNs and resource types of resources that are members of the group that you specified.

      • (dict) –

        A structure that contains the ARN of a resource and its resource type.

        • ResourceArn (string) –

          The ARN of a resource.

        • ResourceType (string) –

          The resource type of a resource, such as AWS::EC2::Instance.

    • NextToken (string) –

      If present, indicates that more output is available than is included in the current response. Use this value in the NextToken request parameter in a subsequent call to the operation to get the next part of the output. You should repeat this until the NextToken response element comes back as null.

    • QueryErrors (list) –

      A list of QueryError objects. Each error is an object that contains ErrorCode and Message structures.

      Possible values for ErrorCode:

      • CLOUDFORMATION_STACK_INACTIVE

      • CLOUDFORMATION_STACK_NOT_EXISTING

      • (dict) –

        A two-part error structure that can occur in ListGroupResources or SearchResources operations on CloudFront stack-based queries. The error occurs if the CloudFront stack on which the query is based either does not exist, or has a status that renders the stack inactive. A QueryError occurrence does not necessarily mean that Resource Groups could not complete the operation, but the resulting group might have no member resources.

        • ErrorCode (string) –

          Specifies the error code that was raised.

        • Message (string) –

          A message that explains the ErrorCode value. Messages might state that the specified CloudFront stack does not exist (or no longer exists). For CLOUDFORMATION_STACK_INACTIVE, the message typically states that the CloudFront stack has a status that is not (or no longer) active, such as CREATE_FAILED.
