--description (string)
The description of the entity.
--entity-id (string)
The ID of the entity.
--entity-name (string)
The name of the entity.
--parent-entity-id (string)
The ID of the entity’s parent entity.
--tags (map)
Metadata that you can use to manage the entity.
key -> (string)
value -> (string)
Shorthand Syntax:
KeyName1=string,KeyName2=string
JSON Syntax:
{"string": "string"
  ...}
--workspace-id (string)
The ID of the workspace that contains the entity.
--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.
arn -> (string)
The ARN of the entity.
creationDateTime -> (timestamp)
The date and time when the entity was created.
entityId -> (string)
The ID of the entity.
state -> (string)
The current state of the entity.
