<a name="example_auto-scaling_DescribeScalingProcessTypes_section"></a>

The following code examples show how to use `DescribeScalingProcessTypes`.

------
#### [ CLI ]

**AWS CLI**  
**To describe the available process types**  
This example describes the available process types.  

```
aws autoscaling describe-scaling-process-types
```
Output:  

```
{
    "Processes": [
        {
            "ProcessName": "AZRebalance"
        },
        {
            "ProcessName": "AddToLoadBalancer"
        },
        {
            "ProcessName": "AlarmNotification"

        {
            "ProcessName": "HealthCheck"
        },
        {
            "ProcessName": "InstanceRefresh"
        },
        {
            "ProcessName": "Launch"
        },
        {
            "ProcessName": "ReplaceUnhealthy"

        {
            "ProcessName": "ScheduledActions"
        },
        {
            "ProcessName": "Terminate"
        }
    ]
}
```
