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

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

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

**AWS CLI**  
**To set the health status of an instance**  
This example sets the health status of the specified instance to `Unhealthy`.  

```
aws autoscaling set-instance-health \
    --instance-id i-061c63c5eb45f0416 \
    --health-status Unhealthy
```
This command produces no output.

------
#### [ PowerShell ]

**Tools for PowerShell V4**  
**Example 1: This example sets the status of the specified instance to 'Unhealthy', taking it out of service. Auto Scaling terminates and replaces the instance.**  

```
Set-ASInstanceHealth -HealthStatus Unhealthy -InstanceId i-93633f9b
```
**Example 2: This example sets the status of the specified instance to 'Healthy', keeping it in service. Any health check grace period for the Auto Scaling group is not honored.**  

```
Set-ASInstanceHealth -HealthStatus Healthy -InstanceId i-93633f9b -ShouldRespectGracePeriod $false
