create_view#

ResourceExplorer.Client.create_view(**kwargs)#

Creates a view that users can query by using the Search operation. Results from queries that you make using this view include only resources that match the view’s Filters. For more information about Amazon Web Services Resource Explorer views, see Managing views in the Amazon Web Services Resource Explorer User Guide.

Only the principals with an IAM identity-based policy that grants Allow to the Search action on a Resource with the Amazon resource name (ARN) of this view can Search using views you create with this operation.

Request Syntax

response = client.create_view(
    ClientToken='string',
    Filters={
        'FilterString': 'string'
    },
    IncludedProperties=[
        {
            'Name': 'string'
        },
    ],
    Scope='string',
    Tags={
        'string': 'string'
    },
    ViewName='string'
)

Parameters:

ClientToken (string) –
This value helps ensure idempotency. Resource Explorer uses this value to prevent the accidental creation of duplicate versions. We recommend that you generate a UUID-type value to ensure the uniqueness of your views.

This field is autopopulated if not provided.
Filters (dict) –
An array of strings that specify which resources are included in the results of queries made using this view. When you use this view in a Search operation, the filter string is combined with the search’s QueryString parameter using a logical AND operator.

For information about the supported syntax, see Search query reference for Resource Explorer in the Amazon Web Services Resource Explorer User Guide.

Warning
This query string in the context of this operation supports only filter prefixes with optional operators. It doesn’t support free-form text. For example, the string region:us* service:ec2 -tag:stage=prod includes all Amazon EC2 resources in any Amazon Web Services Region that begins with the letters us and is not tagged with a key Stage that has the value prod.
- FilterString (string) – [REQUIRED]
  
  The string that contains the search keywords, prefixes, and operators to control the results that can be returned by a Search operation. For more details, see Search query syntax.
IncludedProperties (list) –
Specifies optional fields that you want included in search results from this view. It is a list of objects that each describe a field to include.

The default is an empty list, with no optional fields included in the results.
- (dict) –
  
  Information about an additional property that describes a resource, that you can optionally include in the view. This lets you view that property in search results, and filter your search results based on the value of the property.

    The name of the property that is included in this view.
    
    You can specify the following property names for this field:
