describe-container

Description

Retrieves the properties of the requested container. This request is commonly used to retrieve the endpoint of a container. An endpoint is a value assigned by the service when a new container is created. A container’s endpoint does not change after it has been assigned. The DescribeContainer request returns a single Container object based on ContainerName . To return all Container objects that are associated with a specified AWS account, use ListContainers .

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Synopsis

  describe-container
[--container-name <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--container-name (string)

The name of the container to query.

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples

To view the details of a container

The following describe-container example displays the details of the specified container.

aws mediastore describe-container \
    --container-name ExampleContainer

Output:

{
    "Container": {
        "CreationTime": 1563558086,
        "AccessLoggingEnabled": false,
        "ARN": "arn:aws:mediastore:us-west-2:111122223333:container/ExampleContainer",
        "Status": "ACTIVE",
        "Name": "ExampleContainer",
        "Endpoint": "https://aaabbbcccdddee.data.mediastore.us-west-2.amazonaws.com"
    }
}

Output

Container -> (structure)

The name of the queried container.

Endpoint -> (string)

The DNS endpoint of the container. Use the endpoint to identify the specific container when sending requests to the data plane. The service assigns this value when the container is created. Once the value has been assigned, it does not change.

CreationTime -> (timestamp)

Unix timestamp.

ARN -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the container. The ARN has the following format:

arn:aws:<region>:<account that owns this container>:container/<name of container>

For example: arn:aws:mediastore:us-west-2:111122223333:container/movies

Name -> (string)

The name of the container.

Status -> (string)

The status of container creation or deletion. The status is one of the following: CREATING , ACTIVE , or DELETING . While the service is creating the container, the status is CREATING . When the endpoint is available, the status changes to ACTIVE .

AccessLoggingEnabled -> (boolean)

The state of access logging on the container. This value is false by default, indicating that AWS Elemental MediaStore does not send access logs to Amazon CloudWatch Logs. When you enable access logging on the container, MediaStore changes this value to true , indicating that the service delivers access logs for objects stored in that container to CloudWatch Logs.
