describe_event_details

Health.Client.describe_event_details(**kwargs)

Returns detailed information about one or more specified events. Information includes standard event data (Amazon Web Services Region, service, and so on, as returned by DescribeEvents), a detailed event description, and possible additional metadata that depends upon the nature of the event. Affected entities are not included. To retrieve the entities, use the DescribeAffectedEntities operation.

If a specified event can’t be retrieved, an error message is returned for that event.

Note

This operation supports resource-level permissions. You can use this operation to allow or deny access to specific Health events. For more information, see Resource- and action-based conditions in the Health User Guide.

Response Structure

  • (dict) –

    • successfulSet (list) –

      Information about the events that could be retrieved.

      • (dict) –

        Detailed information about an event. A combination of an Event object, an EventDescription object, and additional metadata about the event. Returned by the DescribeEventDetails operation.

        • event (dict) –

          Summary information about the event.

          • arn (string) –

            The unique identifier for the event. The event ARN has the arn:aws:health:event-region::event/SERVICE/EVENT_TYPE_CODE/EVENT_TYPE_PLUS_ID format.

            For example, an event ARN might look like the following:

            arn:aws:health:us-east-1::event/EC2/EC2_INSTANCE_RETIREMENT_SCHEDULED/EC2_INSTANCE_RETIREMENT_SCHEDULED_ABC123-DEF456

          • service (string) –

            The Amazon Web Services service that is affected by the event. For example, EC2, RDS.

          • eventTypeCode (string) –

            The unique identifier for the event type. The format is AWS_SERVICE_DESCRIPTION ``; for example, ``AWS_EC2_SYSTEM_MAINTENANCE_EVENT.

          • eventTypeCategory (string) –

            A list of event type category codes. Possible values are issue, accountNotification, or scheduledChange. Currently, the investigation value isn’t supported at this time.

          • region (string) –

            The Amazon Web Services Region name of the event.

          • availabilityZone (string) –

            The Amazon Web Services Availability Zone of the event. For example, us-east-1a.

          • startTime (datetime) –

            The date and time that the event began.

          • endTime (datetime) –

            The date and time that the event ended.

          • eventScopeCode (string) –

            This parameter specifies if the Health event is a public Amazon Web Services service event or an account-specific event.

            • If the eventScopeCode value is PUBLIC, then the affectedAccounts value is always empty.

            • If the eventScopeCode value is ACCOUNT_SPECIFIC, then the affectedAccounts value lists the affected Amazon Web Services accounts in your organization. For example, if an event affects a service such as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud and you have Amazon Web Services accounts that use that service, those account IDs appear in the response.

            • If the eventScopeCode value is NONE, then the eventArn that you specified in the request is invalid or doesn’t exist.

Events with ACTION_MAY_BE_REQUIRED actionability indicates that the current status is unknown or conditional and inspection is needed to determine if action is required. Events with INFORMATIONAL actionability are provided for awareness and do not require immediate action.

          • personas (list) –

            A list of persona classifications that indicate the target audience for the event. Possible values are OPERATIONS, SECURITY, and BILLING. Events can be associated with multiple personas to indicate relevance to different teams or roles within an organization.
